JSU's Department of Theatre and Film holds a variety of performances in the Stone Center Theatre and other venues. This archive consists primarily of materials created for these productions and donated to the Library by the Department of Theatre and Film. The materials include photographs, slides, playbills, and posters. While some materials date back to the 1940s, the bulk of the collection is from the 1970s onward, and the Library updates the archive with new productions periodically. The Library has supplemented the Theatre and Film materials with related images from the Photographic Services Negative Project and the Library's own Historical Image Collection.
