Historic theatres

[Christopher and Ellen Tracy]

Leanore,
I believe you are thinking of the Historic Theatres' Trust, in Montreal.
They can be reached at PO Box 387, Station Vicotria Montreal, PQ H3Z 2V8,
(514) 933-8077.  They have a growing library and a great resource of
materials (photographs, primary documents, etc) that are available to
members.  Last I checked, the student membership was a reasonable $20, and
well worth what they offer (including a quarterly newsletter).

Janet MacKinnon is the founding president and is very willing to help out
students interested in the preservation and documentation of theatres,
especially in the Montreal area.  She was especially helpful when I did my
honours thesis on the Monument National while at McGill.

cheers,
Christopher Tracy
