Dance

The Dance Archive was founded in 1972 at Colorado Women's College. The library is now housed at the University of Denver under Special Collections and Archives. The library's mission is to advance education and engagement with resources across all genres of dance and movement, with an emphasis on the American West. This collection contains administrative and financial materials, programming materials, scrapbooks and realia, and publications.

In 2013, the Friends of the Carson Brierly Giffin Dance Library (later rebranded as The Dance Archive) did a series of interviews with faculty, students, community members and other individuals affliated with the Perry Mansfield Dance Camp in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. These interviews were conducted in honor of the 100th Anniversary of the Perry Mansfield Dance Camp. The interviews were all videotaped at Perry Mansfield Dance Camp between July 20th and July 24th, 2013.
