Separated Materials
Processing Information
The New Dramatists Records were inventoried and listed in 2013 with only minimal reorganization of the play scripts in Series I (to incorporate random scripts found in Series II and to establish authors for previously unidentified scripts), and to segregate the audiovisual materials at the end of the collection. Otherwise, the files were left in the order in which they were packed in the New Dramatists offices prior to being transferred to the library with no attempt made to determine which office the files might have come from .
This collection includes materials previously identified by the following call numbers: Uncat ZA MS 599 and Uncat ZA MS 605
