ARCHIVE STRUCTURE

Four primary routes, plus project collections

The catalogue supports search across everything. Its text, moving-image and image collections provide the primary routes, while project collections preserve the sequence and context of grouped records. Collection titles remain in Chinese where no edited translation exists.

Looking for P4’s ideas rather than a source record?

Begin with the main site’s P4 Theater profile for the organization’s scope and methods. For the wider field—its terminology, history and adjacent practices—read the guide to Chinese experimental theater. This catalogue remains the place to verify P4’s source records.
