The Squat Theatre Archive, an independent archiving project, is in the process of building a library of visual and text materials and other artifacts in digital format on the internet. We collect all materials relevant to Squat Theatre: photos, texts, catalogues, programs, playbills, postcards, invitations, music, production stills, video and film clips - including your artifacts and memories about plays or concerts at Squat Theatre. You can also submit a link for our website's future reference section. Like a public library, we provide free access to the material in digital format via the internet to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public interested to learn more about the history of Squat Theatre.
