New Year, New Content

• Cross-referencing!

In collaboration with our partners, Digital Theatre, we will be contributing to a new platform of theirs, The Journal: A Global Culture Mix. Check out our occasional RPA takeovers of this superb free resource, featuring small clips and content by RPA contributors: http://journal.digitaltheatre.com/

• New subscriptions

Along with the snow, December and January brought a flurry of international subscriptions to the RPA from Australia, continental Europe and USA, including our first Ivy League subscriber, Columbia University. The Archive is slowly becoming internationally ubiquitous!

Fresh for spring: more video content coming in April 2013!
