Some of these collections may only collect secondary materials, and not house archives and special collections. Nevertheless, it may be helpful to contact them for other local sources and advice; if they have the resources they may be willing to expand their collecting to include local dance archives. This is not a complete list of all libraries holding dance materials. If you do not see a library in your area, contact the Dance Heritage Coalition.
