Background

Content Summary:

The collection largely consists of production files created by the Canberra-based Meryl Tankard Company, 1989-92, though some material draws on Meryl Tankard's previous work. Overall, the papers are arranged chronologically within financial year divisions, much in the order that they were received as working files. This order merely reflects the operation of the Company and annual reporting to its management board.

The media releases, programs, production agreements, budgets and schedules, operational correspondence, cast notes, handbills, cuttings and other material held in this collection are generally associated with individual productions staged by the Company, or its participation in events, festivals and tours in Australia and overseas.

Provenance:

The records were donated to the National Library by Meryl Tankard in 1993.
