How this archive was made

The Castle has posted weekly schedules online since 1997. We found copies in the Internet Archive, the Castle’s own weekly Instagram posts and the Academy’s member newsletter, then pulled out the names, rooms and dates.

What’s missing

  • The archive starts in 1997. The Castle’s first 34 years were printed.
  • Some years are thin. 1997 (11 weeks), 1999 (24 weeks), 2019 (12 weeks) have the fewest weeks found so far.
  • 2020 and 2021 are short. The Castle was closed from March 2020 until mid-2021.
  • The work is not finished. We still have more sources to check.
