Abstract
The Abbey Theatre is one of the world’s leading national theatres and has played an enormously significant role in the development of dramatic literature and theatre practice internationally. NUI Galway is digitising the archive of the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, Ireland’s national theatre, in order to preserve and widen access to a major aspect of the world’s cultural heritage. This project protects its legacy for future generations, and is the largest drama and theatre archive digitisation project ever undertaken worldwide, publishing over one million pages when complete. The archive will be updated annually as recent material is added or embargo periods expire. This is a pioneering collaboration between an arts organisation and a university.
