Full-evening performances and shorter works have been edited and digitally remastered/ restored from many video formats, in their entirety. To date, the following programs have been completed: Free Radicals; Grand; Shades of Gray; Mythologia; Tivoli; Beauty and the Beast; Daphnis and Chloé; Air & Other Invisible Forces; Salome; Berlin; Synergy with Synergy; Poppy; Kraanerg; Song of the Night; Nearly Beloved; Old Friends New Friends (documentary); Shéhérazade; Rumours; Sequenza VII; Viridian; Some Rooms; Cut; Ever after Ever; etc…

High quality movie files, full-length DVD’s and printed programmes of some of these have also being delivered to the National Film & Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) so that Heritage Collection’s works will be preserved for posterity and available from NFSA in the future for research and study.

Preservation of the Collection has been made possible due to the initiative of Julian Knights, former Chair of the Australia Council’s Major Performing Arts Panel and a former Chair of Sydney Dance Company, and generous support from Dr Kristine Dery and Tom Dery, Julian and Lizanne Knights, Andrew Messenger, Sylvie Mutschler, Rowan and Annie Ross (matched by the Macquarie Group Foundation), and Joe Skrzynski AO and Ros Horin (The Sky Foundation).
