Stanley Kubrick Archive

The Stanley Kubrick Archive is held by the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London in their Archives and Special Collection Centre. The Archive opened in October 2007 and contains material owned by the film director Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999). It was transferred from his home in 2007 through a gift by his family. It contains much of Kubrick's working material that was accumulated during his lifetime.

The collection spans Kubrick’s career as a photographer for Look and as a film Director. His films are; Fear and Desire, Killer’s Kiss, The Killing, Paths of Glory, Spartacus, Lolita, , , A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut. Kubrick also planned to make two films, Napoleon and The Aryan Papers, but they never came to fruition. He also played an important role in the conception of , although it was made after his death by Steven Spielberg.

The collection held by the University is made up of a range of material including props, scripts, research, production paperwork such as call sheets, costumes, letters and photographs for all his films and Look, as well material for those projects that were conceived but never visualised. By maintaining a high degree of control in the film making process, Kubrick was able to retain material generated by his pioneering techniques, research and production work: arguably making this collection one of the most complete examples of film making practice world wide.Fact|date=August 2008
