Viewing options depend on institutionally-granted permissions and the format of the recording. In general:
Current Students and Faculty: Production Technology provides download links of event recordings to the event's director/primary contact within 2 weeks of the performance (contact performancetechnology@berklee.edu directly for more information). Event participants should direct requests for personal copies to their Division office. Most performances within the Dance and Musical Theater departments are not releasable due to content restrictions or rights issues. Please contact the Division office if you have questions about this policy.
Alumni: Berklee Archives can help identify if an older recording exists, but all requests for copies must be directed to the Division office.
Personal copies are administered by the Archives only in rare cases, are only grantable to event participants in limited circumstances, must be approved by Division chairs by email, and will require a signed release form. Personal copies are not granted to non-event participants.
Selected performances are available to Berklee community members with OnePass credentials to stream online through the Alphin catalog. Many campus event recordings on optical media are also available for viewing onsite at designated viewing stations at the Albert Alphin Library to anyone within or external to the Berklee community. Due to the volume of events and the impact of Covid-19, we have gaps in our catalog. Please email archives@berklee.edu if you have questions about the online availability of a recording.
You may also request an event be processed into our streaming portal using this form. Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks for processing, as most older recordings are on physical media stored off-site, and those on obsolete formats may need additional processing time to digitize on demand. Please note also that most performances within the Dance and Musical Theater departments are not releasable due to content restrictions or rights issues, so we may not be able to honor your request. Contact the Division office if you have questions about this policy or wish to view a recording not available through the Library catalog.
Current Students and Faculty: Video Services will provide a link to download a video file of your performance within 5 business days of your performance to your Event Leader. Please contact videoservices@berklee.edu directly for more information. Event participants are encourage to request copies first from the event leader, who holds distribution privileges, prior to contacting the Archives.
If your event was recorded, event participants may request a personal copy (provided as a downloadable file shared via Google Drive) of the recording. To request personal copies or streaming access to an event recording, use this form. Please note that requests are not guaranteed and you may be required to sign a release form. Personal copies are not granted to non-event participants.
Selected performances are available to stream online with a Berklee OnePass login. Due to the volume of events and the impact of Covid-19, we are dealing with a large processing backlog. Please email archives@berklee.edu if you have questions of online availability of a recording. To request an event be made available in our streaming platform, please use this form.
On-site viewing appointments in the Berklee Archives are available to anyone within or external to the Berklee community (email archives@berklee.edu). When requesting an appointment or for an event to made available to stream, please allow a minimum of 2 weeks for processing, as most recordings are stored off-site, and recordings on obsolete formats may need additional processing time to digitize on demand.
Personal copies are not granted to non-event participants.
Faculty members are welcome to request for a recording to be made available through our streaming portal for curricular or classroom use. Requests can be submitted with this form. Please plan ahead when making your request, as many recordings are stored offsite and exist on obsolete formats.
