About the Theater collection

 

The Theater Collection

The Theater collection contains approximately 20,000 books and over 200 periodicals and other serials supporting interests in Theater, as well as thousands of other books and journals in related fields. The general collection covers theater from around the world. The United States, Western Europe, Asia and the Pacific are emphasized. The Asia Collection and the Hawaiian/Pacific Collection also have a significant amount of material on the theater of those geographic areas.

 

Library Collection Policy Statement for Theater

 


Note:
The number of books and serials were calculated by combining the title count from the Library of Congress Classification areas GT1580-1799, MT955-960, and PN1560-3299. The figures are based on the 1997 North American Title Count (University of Hawaii at Manoa Library) and active serial subscriptions.
