We have archived many of our performances on video tape, and have also collected videos of puppetry performances from around the world. They are available for viewing in our Library by appointment only.

Thanks for the update! It is great that organizations like yours helps preserve the history of puppetry.  I realize there are others also but the more who do the better!

It is my pleasure Shawn. So few people know about our wonderful Library. I hope that someday we can make even more reference material available online.
