Calthrop Boucicault Collection

The material on Boucicault's plays and the biographical material have been catalogued. Uncatalogued material includes a large number of legal documents, letters, and material on later members of the family, including Nina Boucicault, the first actor to play Peter Pan on stage, and Donald Calthrop, a character actor in films of the 1920s and 30s.

This collection is larger and more important than the Fawkes Collection. It was compiled by Christopher Calthrop, Dion Boucicault's great-grandson.
