What is The NRLA Archive?
The National Review of Live Art (NRLA) Archive is primarily a video archive that holds footage of
performances from the prestigious
NRLA festival. The footage covers the period from 1986 (when the festival was first documented
on film) to the present day. As well as the recordings of performances, there are also tapes of
installations, discussions, and interviews with participating artists. In addition to the videos,
the Archive contains a variety of information on the NRLA itself, and valuable printed material
including the festival brochures, posters, press cuttings and other miscellaneous documents.
The NRLA Archive was donated to The Nottingham Trent University in the 1990’s by Nikki Milican (OBE),
artistic director of the NRLA, as a key addition to the Live Art Archives, and subsequently
transferred to the University of Bristol Theatre Collection in 2006.

The NRLA Video Archive Digitisation Project
In 2005, the National Review of Live Art Archive was awarded a substantial grant from the Arts
and Humanities Research Council to allow a 3-year project to digitise the
video material for preservation and improved accessibility.
The project finished in December 2008 and
its outcomes include the new searchable online catalogue and website.
