Welcome to the Gilbert and Sullivan Archive, which is devoted to the operas and other works of William S. Gilbert and Arthur S. Sullivan. The Archive, which was established in September 1993, includes a variety of G&S related items, including clip art, librettos, plot summaries, pictures of the original G&S stars, song scores, midi and mpeg audio files (which allow you to actually listen to the music), and newsletter articles. New items are being added regularly.

Submissions to the Archive are welcomed. Send a note to Jim jmfarron@vais.net to make arrangements for your contribution.
