NOTE:  This database was created in association with a cognate project, the Patrons and Performers Database created by Sally-Beth MacLean and her team at the Records of Early English Drama at the University of Toronto.  The database was originally created for this project, and then revised and expanded to welcome other like-minded projects that sought to document the movements of itinerant performance culture, and thus the dissemination of a culture that has, historically, been difficult to study--being itinerant, and for the most part undocumented.  Tracing the movements of such performers can, among other advantages, help to locate records of their existence in local archives.  We are grateful to REED and to collaborators at Robarts Library for their work on this project, which was first of all available on a stand-alone database written for these projects.  More recently, through further grants, we were able to upgrade the database to the site you see now, preserving all of the original data.
