Spotlight: Daphne Dare
This collection includes costume and scene designs from more than fifty productions by British designer Daphne Dare (1929-2000). Dare designed for major theatres on both sides of the Atlantic as well as for television and film. Throughout her career, she had a part in over sixty productions, serving in such roles as art director, costume designer, production designer, and set designer. Dare designed at the Bristol Old Vic from 1958 until 1963. She worked as a costume designer for BBC TV from 1964-1968, designing the first two years of costumes and monsters for Dr. Who. In 1967-1968 she became the Head of Design at the Northcott Theatre, Exeter. In the early 1970s Dare worked with Robin Phillips on a number of acclaimed productions including Two Gentlemen of Verona (Royal Shakespeare Company, 1970) with a young Patrick Stewart, Abelard and Heloise (Wyndham's, 1970) with Diana Rigg, Dear Antoine (Chichester and Piccadilly, 1971), and Miss Julie (Royal Shakespeare Company, 1971). 1973 was a very productive year for Daphne Dare and Robin Phillips with a season at Greenwich, a company including Jeremy Brett, Mia Farrow, Elisabeth Bergner, Penelope Keith, and Lynn Redgrave, in productions such as The House of Bernarda Alba, Three Sisters, Born Yesterday, Cats Play, and Zorba. In 1975, Dare became the Head of Design at the Stratford Festival, Ontario, under artistic director Robin Phillips. She designed over thirty-five productions, and was responsible, along with Phillips, for the renovation of the stages and auditoriums for the Avon and Third Stages, while also instituting a 'Designer in training' program for young Canadian designers. In 1989, Daphne Dare designed Dion Boucicault's London Assurance (at Chichester and Theatre Royal Haymarket), with the director Sam Mendez. During the 1990s Dare focused primarily on film, working frequently with Ken Loach, including on his film Carla's Song (1996).

Spotlight: The Lantern
The Lantern is a community newspaper for the Ohio State University campus and surrounding geographic areas. Chartered in 1881, The Lantern is one of the oldest college newspapers in the country. The Lantern became an integral part of the School of Journalism in 1914, serving both as a laboratory for journalism students and the official newspaper for the third-largest single enrollment campus in the country. Today, with a daily circulation of 28,000 papers during the regular school year and a readership of about 75,000 per day, as well as a presence on the Internet at www.TheLantern.com, The Lantern is the third-largest college newspaper in the country.
Funds from the University will be used to digitize back issues of The Lantern that are currently available only in paper or microfilm formats. The first phase of this project will provide searchable online access to issues beginning with 1960 and ending with 1997, the year The Lantern began producing an online version of the paper. Later phases will produce a digital version of the complete run of this paper, beginning with 1881.
