Arrangement
Materias are arranged in six series:
- Series I: Subject Files
- Series II: Printed Materials
- Series III: Talks, Papers
- Series IV: Anthologies [source materials]
- Series V: Plays, written with Laurence Senelick
- Series VI: Course Materials and Student Papers
Scope and Contents
The Brooks McNamara Papers reflect McNamara's life work as a scholar and professor at NYU. The collection is comprised almost entirely of McNamara's subject files on the expansive breadth of theater, drama, and performance in early American, early British, and contemporary American life.
Organized in one main series of McNamara's subject files, as well as five smaller series which document his scholarly and creative writing, the collection features prominent sections of resources on Broadway, Circuses, Environmental Performance, Fairs and Festivals, Medicine Shows, Minstrelsy, Street Entertainments, Theatre and Theatres, and Vaudeville, as well as McNamara's own work as a scholar. One is able to trace the early development of Performance Studies as a discipline through McNamara's framing of "Popular Entertainments": performance and theatre on the stage, in the street, and in everyday life.
Collection materials consist of articles, brochures, catalogues, correspondence, drafts, magazines, manuscripts, newsletters, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, photocopies, photographs, postcards, posters, programs, student projects slides, audiocassettes, 8mm film, reel to reel video, reel to reel audio, and DVD-Rs.
The general date range for the collection spans the early-1970s to the mid-1990s, as this is when McNamara was actively collecting these materials. However, there are also historical pamphlets and booklets dating from the turn of the century through the 1960s.

Series I: Subject Files
Scope and Contents
Series I contains contents articles, news clippings, programs, brochures, fliers, correspondence, photographs, postcards, student work, course materials, slides, audiocassettes, 8mm film, reel to reel video, reel to reel audio, and DVD-Rs from his time as a professor in NYU's Performance Studies Department. McNamara used his own subject headings to organize his scholarly research on popular entertainments, and they indicate his framing of performance both historically and in its prominent role in everyday life.
Arrangement
Series I is organized alphabetically according to McNamara's own subject headings. All folder titles that were not in McNamara's original index are marked in brackets. Most often the folders are listed as undated because the materials were either collected from a wide range of years, or they do not have dates on them at all. Due to the large number of items in each folder, contents are not listed in detail, but rather by material type. In rare cases, an item of note is described. Materials in the 2009 accretion, boxes 36-38, were added to the end of Series I; original order and folder titles were retained.
