The library and media centre of the Derra de Moroda Dance Archives contain over 8,000 books on dance and related fields (including theatre, costume and set design, folklore and cultural history), sheet music, libretti, journals, magazines and dance manuscripts, as well as digital media. These items can be searched via the search engine of the University Library of Salzburg (UBsearch). The dance archive’s collection is displayed in the search results with the location “TB Unipark Derra de Moroda Tanzarchiv”.
All collections catalogued in UBsearch (including digitised prints) are also listed here.
There is also a printed catalogue: The Dance Library. A Catalogue. Compiled and annotated by Friderica Derra de Moroda. Edited from the Manuscript left by the Author by Sibylle Dahms and Lotte Roth-Wölfle (München 1982). The catalogue is also available online: digital version in pdf.
Use and Borrowing
To use and borrow items from the Derra de Moroda Dance Archives, please refer to the guidelines on Research and Borrowing at the University Library Salzburg. During the dance archive’s opening hours, you may use all items on site without prior registration. To borrow items to take away, you will need a University of Salzburg user account. With this account, you can order borrowable media from the DdMDA directly via the library catalogue and collect them from the information desk during the Unipark Library’s opening hours. Please note that items acquired before 1978 can only be used on-site—they cannot be borrowed to take away. Specifically, this applies to all items with call numbers up to DdM 9100. Whether or not you can borrow a DdMDA publication is indicated in UBsearch (“Verfügbarkeit”).

Digital Resources
Selected collections of books and images from the Derra de Moroda Dance Archive are being digitised in stages and made available via the ePLUS digital repository. Around 1,100 graphics and approximately 100 dance books dating from the early 18th century to the 20th century are currently available in digital form here. We would like to thank Dance&History eV for its financial support as part of a digitisation project carried out at the University Library of Salzburg in 2022.
