Biographical / Historical

In September 1975, the Board of Trustees of the University of Maine approved the creation of a School of Performing Arts in the College of Arts and Sciences. The purpose for such a school was to amalgamate the various performing arts units on the Orono campus into one administrative body within the College of Arts and Sciences. Existing units at that time included music, theater, and broadcasting/

The School is housed in the Class of 1944 Hall which opened in the fall of 1996.

Scope and Contents

The records mainly contain event programs created by the University of Maine School of Performing Arts and Department of Music. There are programs for performances from various University of Maine musical ensembles including the University of Maine Singers, dances organized by the School's Division of Dance, Maine Masque Theatre performances, events featuring outside artists, and from student

recitals. There are also schedules and publicity material for coming seasons and events. Most of the events were held on the University of Maine campus. Also, included is correspondence regarding the School of Music's accreditation from the National Association of School of Music (NASM).

Arrangement

Physically the records are arranged by subject and secondary by season having originally being arranged by calendar year. Some file names were changed to make them more meaningful and to correct errors. Removing duplicate copies of programs and schedules allowed material to be consolidated into fewer folders. Material was rehoused into archival quality storage.
