NOTE TO RESEARCHERS: The Naval History and Heritage Command takes the protection of classified, controlled unclassified, and personally identifiable information (PII) very seriously. All records must be screened for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemptions and PII by staff before they can be accessed by researchers. Please be aware that this process may add some extra time to onsite research visits and you may be referred to submit a FOIA request. In select cases a review for the presence of information protected by the Atomic Energy Act may also be required.

Researchers are strongly encouraged to make appointments at least one week in advance; this will enable our staff to conduct a thorough review of the requested material prior to their visit.

Ozzie Rodriguez Archive Director Established in the early 1970’s, La MaMa Archives collects, preserves, and exhibits records of permanent historical value relating to La MaMa and the Off-Off Broadway movement. In doing so, it draws on a deep vein of in-house institutional memory, the passionate community of artists whose work has found a home on La MaMa stages, and a diversity of scholars, educators and international artists with whom we regularly collaborate. La MaMa’s collections offer an intimate perspective on major social, aesthetic, and political movements of the 20 th and 21 st centuries that resonate with histories of peoples across the globe. Where else would you find original plays by Vietnam War veterans alongside video of performances about the AIDS crisis; unpublished scripts by Japanese filmmaker Shuji Terayama alongside photos and correspondence by Polish revolutionary director Tadeusz Kantor? A portion of these materials are available for viewing on our new Digital Collections website,. La MaMa Archives regularly conducts tours for student groups and is open to the public Monday through Friday from 1pm -4pm BY APPOINTMENT.

The La MaMa Archives Digital Collections database is both a catalog and a digital archive, and it was designed to serve both researchers and general users. Site users can conduct targeted searches or browse at will, using the images and text available on this site as a guide. In the near future, we hope also to be able to offer curated digital exhibits.

The La MaMa Archives Digital Collection! The bulk of material in these digital collections describes La MaMa’s earliest years--what we call our Pushcart Era (1961-1985). A lot of these materials have not been digitized, so you may not be able to find here a digital representation of every resource in which you are interested. We are constantly adding to our digital collections, so keep checking back for updates and to browse new materials. La MaMa Archives collects material related to the work of La MaMa Experimental Theater Club, its founder Ellen Stewart, and its contributing artists. The bulk of the archive consists of materials that were created in the normal course of the theater’s business. The Archive almost never accepts outside archival donations; in the rare situations that we do accept donations, we require that donors agree to transfer both physical ownership of the materials and copyright to La MaMa.
