AHDS The Arts and Humanities Data Service
Performing Arts Collections
http://www.ahds.ac.uk/performingarts/collections/index.htm
AHDS Performing Arts collects, documents, preserves and promotes the use of digital resources to
support research and teaching across the broad field of the performing arts: music, film, broadcast
arts, theatre, dance.
Its target audience is performing arts researchers, teachers and students in UK Higher Education.
AHDS Performing Arts collects digital materials to create an online resource base for research,
teaching and learning and preserves those materials for future use.
AHDS Performing Arts provides advice and support to digital data creators and users in all
performing arts subjects. AHDS Performing Arts has an interest in all types of resources related to
the performing arts from digital versions of works themselves, representations or constituents of the
works, materials about the performing arts and catalogue data.
AHDS Performing Arts is part of the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute
(HATII), directed by Prof. Seamus Ross, at the University of Glasgow, and is housed at HATII and
within GilmorehillG12, a professional theatre and cinema venue and home of the Department of
Theatre, Film and Television.
What is the AHDS?
The Arts and Humanities Data Service is a UK national service funded by the JISC and AHRB to
collect, preserve and promote the electronic resources which result from research and teaching in
the arts and humanities. By preserving collections made in the arts and the humanities, the AHDS
encourages research and educational use of its collections and makes information about them
available through online catalogues. The identification and promotion of shared standards is critical
to the AHDS's work. Preserving and exchanging digital information relies upon their widespread
adoption and so does a more integrated approach to resource discovery which may help our users to
find the resources they require irrespective of where they are located or how they are stored.
The AHDS seeks the widest possible collaboration in identifying such standards and documents and
promotes these in its Guides to Good Practice, and its Information Papers. Via a strong national
training programme and a range of other user services, the AHDS also promotes awareness amongst
a number of UK communities about the importance and value of electronic information and
provides guidance in its effective creation and use. Finally, the AHDS facilitates fruitful
partnerships between those communities in order to enhance the production and preservation of
high
