This is a finding aid. It is a description of archival material held at the Temple University Libraries: Special Collections Research Center. Unless otherwise noted, the materials described below are physically available in their reading room, and not digitally available through the web.
Overview and metadata sections
Dance Advance was founded by The Pew Charitable Trusts in 1993 to provide financial support to dance artists, organizations, and educational training programs in southeastern Pennsylvania. The purpose of the annual financial grants is to fund diverse dance projects, provide professional development opportunities for dancers, and enhance dance programming in the Philadelphia area.
The collection contains programs and publicity, videotapes and DVDs of dance performances, and posters for the projects and performances of Dance Advance grant recipients. Dance Advance organizational materials are limited to scattered grant application guidelines. This collection includes preserved versions of the organization's website, available through Archive-It.
The programs and publicity are arranged alphabetically. The original order, maintained by the creator, cannot be confirmed. The collection is arranged into 4 series as follows:
Series 1: Correspondence and files, 1994-2002
Series 2: VHS tapes and DVDs, 1975-2010
Series 3: Mounted posters, 2001
Series 4: Website versions in Archive-It, 2014
Series 2: VHS tapes and DVDs, 1975-2010
Series 3: Mounted posters, 2001
Series 4: Website versions in Archive-It, 2014
Additions to this collection are expected. Websites are captured using Archive-It periodically, and the latest additions may not yet be included in this finding aid. For information on material–physical and digital, including captured websites–that may have been added since the last finding aid update, please contact the Special Collections Research Center.
Donated in February 2003. Additional audiovisual materials added via Dance/UP Records (SCRC 174), gift of Dance/USA Philadelphia, 2015.
Original audiovisual materials, as well as preservation and duplicating masters, may not be played. Researchers must consult use copies, or if none exist must pay for a use copy. Certain digital files may also be inaccessible. Please contact the Special Collections Research Center for more information.
Processed in 2008. Finding aid revised according to contemporary archival standards in December 2014 by Katy Rawdon, Coordinator of Technical Services. Updated with accrual in April 2016 by Courtney Smerz, Collection Management Archivist.
