The research for this site has been a journey
of discovery through a multitude of different sources including Theatres,
Theatre Archives, Museums, Libraries, University Archives, Cemeteries,
Books, Programmes, Song Sheets, Magazines, Postcards, The Internet,
and of course many hundreds of interested and knowledgeable People from
all over the world. You will find references to these sources of information
all over the site beneath particular images and articles but below,
in no particular order, is a list of the many publications which are
