THE ARCHIVIST

The Library

Every film, with its workings shown

Each film has a permanent page carrying its evidence, its sources, and what the record cannot say. Nothing appears here until that record is verified.

Being catalogued

17 further films are published and archived, but their catalogue records are not yet complete. They are held back deliberately.

Their titles exist in our publishing packages as recommended candidates — but a package proposes and the publisher decides, so we do not yet know with certainty what each film was released as. Rather than print a plausible title beside a real film, we print nothing. An unknown is work still to be done. A guess is corruption of the archive.
