The Alwyn Capern Scrapbooks
Alwyn Capern was a theatre historian and biographer of Gladys Moncrieff. After he passed away his scrapbooks were sold. I purchased several of them. I have about 20 of Alwyn's scrapbooks in my collecction.
They cover the period 1890s to 1950s. They contain theatre programmes, pictures, newspaper clippings, magazine clippings etc. They focus on legitimate theatre, but have several pages devoted to pantomime, vaudeville and variety, and are a valuable resource for researchers and family historians.
I believe that Alwyn may have built upon a previous collection.
I am going to catalogue the scrapbooks. As a beginning I am cataloguing the pictures within them.
Alwyn Capern Scrapbook pictures
This is a list of pictures that appear in the Alwyn Capern scrapbooks. The list is a pdf file that can be searched.
In some cases there is further information about the person in the photograph/picture. There are few dates in the scrapbooks - I have added them if they are there.
If you would like a copy of a photograph and the related information please contact me. Use the contact information on the bottom of the page and mention the number of the scrapbook. There may be a small charge for scanning
( note the location CS(X) refers to a system whereby I can locate the relevant photograph/pictures)
