Résumé
Theater performances are ephemeral, being by definition unique. Yet they leave traces of their existence, which are preserved by the Performing Arts Department of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (French National Library). Some of these traces are particularly short-lived, such as the documentation issued for the press and public composed of programs for individual plays or for the season’s productions, brochures and leaflets, subscription forms, invitations, tickets, and press kits and cuttings. In the last few years, there has been a shift to electronic documentation, using another short-lived carrier, the web. This article explores the continuities and discontinuities in archiving performing arts ephemera, from archiving theater programs to harvesting the web in the context of the mandate received by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (French National Library) for the “legal deposit of the web.”
