The Shakespeare Underground is a podcast series that examines the works and life of William Shakespeare, and explores why there has been doubt about the authorship of the plays, sonnets, and other poems. Titles include The Law in Hamlet - attorney Tom Regnier argues that can the intricacies of Elizabethan Law shed new light on the tragedy, and The Comedy of Othello in which Oxfordian Richard Whalen argues that the play is influenced by Commedia dell’Arte. The site offers a blog and resources for investigating the authorship question.

The Theatre Archive Project is an ongoing project to reinvestigate British theatre history from 1945 to 1968, from the perspectives of both the theatregoer and the practitioner. The project is a collaboration between the British Library and the De Montfort University and is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The project comprises a number of strands that support study of this period of British theatre history, as well as an opportunity to analyse and debate findings through a blog. The Oral History strand began in November 2003, and aims to interview as many people as possible who visited or worked in the theatre between 1945 and 1968. Transcripts are available for most recordings. Over 250 interviews have been added to the site, and interviewees include Frith Banbury, Michael Frayn, Trevor Griffiths, Glenda Jackson, Ann Jellicoe, Ian McDiarmid, Peter Nichols, Corin Redgrave, Arnold Wesker, Timothy West.

Developed in association with the Indiana University Digital Library Program, the Televised Opera and Musical Comedy Database documents more than three-quarters of a century of opera, operetta and musical comedy telecasts produced in the United States. The database traces performance programming from early presentations on experimental TV stations to current live and recorded productions released on broadcast and closed circuit television, cable, home video and webcasts. The database is easy to navigate and entries typically gives title, series, opera company, composer, conductor, orchestra, soloists, transmission date, broadcast station, duration and production credits. Some records name the archive which holds a copy and the existence of a commercial VHS or DVD copy is indicated.
