Scope and Contents

From the Collection: Aaron Ward Tracy compiled articles from various publications from the years 1864-1913 to make up eighteen volumes of informtion about the Salt Lake Theatre. Each volume covers between two and three years, and consists of announcements, articles, and reviews about plays and actors. Information about other events in and out of the theatre, such as lectures, balls, and political rallies are also included. The seventy-eight page index is divided by name, play, and news. Due to it's size, it is not online, and can only be found in hard copy in Special Collections at the Marriott Library. A copy can be mailed or attached to an email to interested parties.

The name index includes actors, as well as as managers, lecturers, musicians, and other performers. The volume and page mumber are listed for the first instance in which the name is found; in some cases more than one location for those manes most prominent or frequently listed. The play index lists the volume and page mumber where the play is first found. More references may be found to the same play on further pages or in later volumes. The play index, therefore, is only a starting point. The appendix of news items is listed by volume in the order in which the items are found. The spellings of names and titles have been reprinted as they are found in the volumes, therefore if inconsistancy is found, that is the reason. The appendix of news items is listed by volume as well, in the order in which the items are found.
