CanonBase is a pioneering resource for the exploration and documentation of the technical history of theatre in Europe. As part of the European Canon of Technical Theatre History project, CanonBase visually represents historical events, individuals, theatres, equipment, and methodologies within the realm of technical theatre. The platform features an innovative taxonomy and offers a variety of ways to interact with the information, including maps, timelines, tree structures, and word clouds, allowing users to uncover relationships and connections within the data.

Visitors can easily navigate through various fields of activity, types of information, or geographic locations using intuitive search features. The site also integrates a collection of stories, tools, methodologies, and networks linked to the overall project outcomes. As an ongoing initiative, CanonBase encourages user feedback and participation to continually enhance its content and usability. Engaging with CanonBase provides a valuable opportunity for theatre professionals, scholars, and enthusiasts to explore the rich tapestry of theatrical history and its technical evolution.
