The cataloging of the Archive's collection is itself a form of filmographic documentation, and complementary research for it is undertaken when required.
Information is gathered in a variety of ways to assist in various Archive projects.
Relevant resources are sought in other archives and often duplicated and added to the Archive's own Documentation Center. Further data on Israeli and Jewish film history is obtained, when possible, through video interviews. This oral history program has already recorded the stories of numerous individuals connected in different capacities to the productions of earlier years. The results of Archive research have been made available since the early 1970s through articles, books and other publications, both print and electronic. A selection of Spielberg Archive publications.
