Capturing the past, preserving the future: digitisation of the national review live art video collection

Lead Research Organisation: University of Bristol
Department Name: School of Arts

Abstract

In 1999 a unique video collection that documents the development of live performance art in the UK since the early 1980s was donated to The Nottingham Trent University. Featuring contemporary performance work from The National Review of Live Art, the collection is an invaluable performance research resource. Now, with financial assistance from the Arts and Humanities Research Board, it is to be made more widely available and digitally preserved for posterity.
