According to Shakespeare Quarterly, "Put together by Hugh Richmond of University of California at Berkeley, Staging Shakespeare has two explicit goals: 1) to enrich pedagogy through a vast collection of images and videos related to performances of Shakespeare’s work; and 2) to facilitate research on Shakespeare performance through an extensive bibliography divided chronologically and by play. The site also documents the history and performances of the Shakespeare program at UCB.
As an archive, Staging Shakespeare assembles a rich array of visual materials. Images are helpfully organized into albums: for instance, within the gallery “Introduction to Shakespeare Staging,” users can browse “The Historical Context of Shakespeare Staging,” which contains photos of Hampton Court Hall, contemporary illustrations of the Globe and a map of sixteenth-century London. Other galleries show the diachronic changes in stage blocking, set design and actors for specific performances dating back four centuries."
