Rambert Dance Company Archive
Rambert productions have been recorded on video from the early 1970s and all premieres are now recorded to DVD. Unfortunately due to contracts and intellectual copyright copies of most material is not available to researchers. However, it is possible to visit the archive to view individual items for non-commercial purposes.
Rambert productions at the Ballet Club in the 1930s were recorded on film. The masters of these films form the Marie Rambert Film Collection at The BFI National Archive.

The Rambert Archive holds significant collections documenting the evolution of British dance via the development of Britain's oldest dance company as we moved from pure classical ballet, through embracing modern American influences, into the future of dance.
The collections include photography, moving image, costumes, designs, correspondence and technical files, original music scores and dance notation. They can be used by researchers, schools, dancers and dance fans, our local community and the wider public for both education and inspiration.
