The Foulkes Collection A collection of programmes donated to Special Collections by drama historian Professor Richard Foulkes. The Foulkes Collection provides an excellent companion to other theatre collections, particularly the Reading Rayner Collection. Jack Reading, who donated the Reading Rayner Collection to the University, was a founder member, chairman and then vice president of the Society for Theatre Research. The majority of Professor Foulkes’ programmes focus on provincial theatre, particularly in the midlands, while also containing material from London and America. Some of the programmes contain cuttings and reviews of the productions. If the programme includes reviews, this will be noted on the catalogue record. 1960s-2008
