Our earliest database archive in Live Art (from 1980s-2000) was:
The Live Art Archives: http://art.ntu.ac.uk/liveart/
Still available, more user friendly C21st one in preparation.
But the best known and most consulted these days is The Digital Performance
Archive [DPA] which attempted to capture on-going "digital
performance"developments in live art at the end of the last
decade/century/millennium 1999/2000:
http://dpa.ntu.ac.uk/dpa_site/
The DPA is supported by 80 video extracts and CDRs etc available at the
Libraries of Nottingham Trent and Salford Universities UK. An associated
book co-authored by Steve Dixon (Salford) and myself is due to be published
by The MIT Press 2005.
Other databased archives whose content is slowly undergoing digitization and
the necessary copyright clearances etc include:
The National Review of Live Art Archive: http://dpa.ntu.ac.uk/dpa_site/
(extensive video collection consultable on site, digitized pilot projects to
be launched 2004/05)
and "Performance Magazine" [UK Live Art 1970's and 80's].
