Selections from the Katherine Dunham Collection at the Library
of Congress
The Katherine Dunham Collection consists of materials purchased from
the archives of the Dunham Centers in East St. Louis, Illinois, and
is made possible through a grant from the Doris Duke Charitable
Foundation. The Collection comprises 1,694 items in a variety of
video/motion picture formats. It documents many aspects of Dunham’s
dance career: her work as a choreographer, her dance technique and
teaching method, various of her performances and productions, and
her anthropological analysis of the dance and ritual of the African
diaspora. The Collection also testifies to her global activism and
leadership in the field of human rights and her advocacy of African
American causes in her community.
The materials in this
collection are housed and available for use in the Motion Picture,
Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Reading Room. Viewing requests
should be directed to the MBRS Reading Room at 202-707-8572. Items
should be requestedusing the “Motion Picture ID#” given in this
document. The numbers found in the field labeled “Tape #” are only
included for use in provenance tracking. (Those are the numbers that
were on the tapes at the Dunham Center Archives in East St. Louis.)
