Scope & content

The collection includes diaries and trip journals of Sally Barker; typescripts of plays (prompt copies and director's copies) and theatre photographs; and personal and theatre memorabilia. Much of the material is signed by Sarah Barker. Also included are Talma Club notices compiled by Harry Ames Barker, and other material relating to his theatre interests. Many printed plays, some with manuscript directions, notes, etc., were also received with the collection. These will be separately catalogued for the Harris Collection. Laid-in items removed are listed here.
