Since it commenced operations in the early 1970s, the Spielberg Archive has cataloged its holdings to facilitate maximum access. Many Archive users require specific visuals and these are easily located via shot-listed or detailed descriptive entries. This project was completed by the end of the decade and all subsequent cataloging has been computerized.
Records are easily and flexibly retrieved, with searching possible both by fields and by word.
The entire catalog is accessible online, as is a secondary library of in-progress filmographic research. Selected still images from Archive titles are also being made available as an additional field in the catalog record and a number of RealPlayer video clips are already viewable on site.
