One of our first digital collections, Traveling Culture: Circuit Chautauqua in the Twentieth Century is also one of our largest, and it gets bigger all the time. In addition to digitized brochures, programs, and audio recordings, the collection now contains almost 800 photographs depicting life on the road for the Redpath Lyceum Bureau’s performers, agents, and crew members as they imported culture to the Midwest — one big tent at a time.
