A report on the state of digitalization and accessibility of materials of the Harvard N. G. Sergeyev Collection

Abstract

The article is a report on the current state of the digitalization and accessibility of materials of the N. G. Sergeyev collection at Harvard Library. The number of accessible units, what percentage they form of the total, the page count of the accessible units, and of the total, are given for the main body of the collection, (MS Thr 245), and for several categories of the materials, like choreographic notations, piano reductions, répétiteurs, orchestral scores. The dynamics of the process is determined and some worrying characteristics are noted. The factors preventing the ballet community from gaining information about the actual state and progress of the digitalization of the Collection are named.
