Overview
The National Ballet of Canada is one of the few ballet companies to possess an archive of its history. The Archives were created in 1975 with the intent of collecting and preserving materials celebrating the founding and development of the company. The Virtual Museum is an online gallery featuring items held within the National Ballet Archives. Each exhibit surveys the history of a ballet through archival material including programmes, set and costume sketches, photographs, videos, press items, correspondence, footwear, costumes, artifacts and more. Items digitized for inclusion in the National Ballet's Virtual Museum are catalogued and preserved in The Helen G. Balfour InMagic Database.
