Summary

The Charles Payne collection spans over five decades of materials documenting the American Ballet Theatre with items such as photographs, clippings and articles, performance programs, and costume and set designs. Payne occupied various administrative roles throughout his nearly 40 year career with the company and compiled the contents of this collection. He also collected photographs of a small number of American and European dance companies. The majority of the collection is photographs of American Ballet Theatre's reportoire dating back to its predecessor, the Mordkin Ballet, in the late 1930s to the Ballet Theatre's formation in 1940 and its subsequent activities for more than thirty years thereafter.
