Founded in 1992, the DHC was established to address problems identified by a fieldwide study of the current state of preservation and documentation of American dance. The study, jointly commissioned by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, recommended that a coalition of the major dance collections be formed to facilitate communication, and promote joint programs, projects, and policymaking in order to strengthen a national dance documentation and preservation network.
