Scope and arrangement
The Amelia Romano papers (1936 to 1996, bulk dates 1960s), document the character actor's career primarily through photographs, reviews, telegrams and a scrapbook.
At the start of her career, Romano created a scrapbook about the acclaimed production Plumes in the Dust that featured playbills and reviews from the road tour to the production's debut on Broadway at the 46th Street Theatre. The scrapbook also holds reviews for two other productions: Marching Song and Red Harvest.
The photographs include pictures of Romano from Native Land, Plumes in the Dust, The Skin of Our Teeth, and other dramatic works; publicity photographs of Romano; and non-theatrical photographs.
Other materials include congratulatory telegrams received at the beginning of her career, letters, playbills, her resumes, reviews, a pencil sketch of Romano and school writings.
