Lorraine Brown is a professor
in the English Department of George Mason University. Her scholarship
and teaching areas have centered on drama: American drama from 1935
to 1955; Post-Colonial drama by women in Australia, Britain, Canada,
US., and Scotland, and in sophomore courses contemporary drama and
poetry. In 1987 several years of intensive and arduous work culminated
in GMU (through her efforts) acquiring on permanent loan the early
archival records of the American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA).
By design these records were meant to complement /contrast with
the Federal Theatre Project archival records then on loan to GMU
from the Library of Congress. The ANTA records like the FTP records
were unpacked, sorted, and catalogued with her help and under her
supervision. As a result of concentrated work by Special Collections
and Archives and CGSA and with input from students in classes, a
significant proportion of ANTA records have been subsequently scanned
by SC&A staff, and will be on-line.
