Convened in October of 1964, The Congress on Research in Dance (CORD) is an international community of dance researchers, scholars, teachers, and performers who seek to encourage, facilitate and disseminate dance scholarship. The CORD records cover the period from 1964 to 1999; the bulk of the materials date from 1975 to 1999. The collection consists of founding documents, bylaws, Board and member correspondence, meeting minutes, published volumes of CORD’s own Dance Research Journal, an assortment of specially published CORD issues devoted to specific topics, conference materials, scholarly papers submitted to the conferences, newsletters, office materials, and financial documents.
The finding aid for the CORD records at SCPA can be found here. Use the finding aid to navigate the CORD records and request the materials you would like access to for either in-person or remote research.
