Yorkshire Theatres playbills and posters - launch event

Tonight (3rd June), the press night for Pinter's The Homecoming at York Theatre Royal, sees the launch of the Yorkshire Theatres playbills & posters website. This online resource, which is comprised of digital images of theatrical playbills and posters dating from the 18th century to the present day, is freely available from http://www.yorkshireplaybills.org.uk.

The project, to investigate the feasibility of the digitisation of these artefacts, has resulted in a small collection of high quality digital images that have been released under a Creative Commons license, specifically designed to encourage re-use of the images for non-commercial purposes.
