Our Archive

Riverside’s archive consists of photographs, posters, correspondence and programmes relating to our countless productions and events.

Until 2014, the collection was kept in a dusty, leaky store room but, thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we have been able to clean and re-box the material and provide a purpose-built archive store for its safe-keeping.

Once the items are catalogued, you will be able to access material both physically and online, allowing a unique insight into our history.

A programme of activities and events celebrating the Riverside story will also provide many opportunities for you to become part of the story yourself.

Please be sure to check back for updates on this exciting project.
