About the archive

Glyndebourne Archive aims to provide a complete historical record of Glyndebourne Festival and Touring Operas from their earliest beginnings

In 1987 Glyndebourne established its Archive in a newly created office space above  the Christies’ garage. Various cupboards and oubliettes were excavated for the core of  the early collections, and over the following thirteen years the Archive continued to  grow. Finally, in 2000, and having expanded to fill five separate spaces, the entire  Archive was moved into newly renovated premises in the Plashett Huts which are  situated  on the edge of the gardens and car park. With rolling racking, proper user  facilities, a small  Gallery space, and holdings ranging from costumes to  correspondence, the collections  are an invaluable resource for enthusiasts and  researchers who want to find  out more  about Glyndebourne.
