ArchivioKubrick is a database of detailed information about the life and work of director Stanley Kubrick. It is a project I started in 1999 with the purpose of collating interviews, reviews, articles, photographs and videos about Kubrick in one single place. Since 1999 I have searched magazines, newspapers, books, broadcast media, and the internet for all extant material. ArchivioKubrick is an ongoing repository for this research.

AK main site is written in Italian, and unfortunately I do not have sufficient time to create an additional English-language version. For non-Italian visitors, I have instead produced this abridged English version containing the most significant elements of the Italian site: rare texts, a reviews archive, the lists of LOOK photographs and Kubrick's interviews, and scans of the Vintage material. All the real treasures I found are available in English, or will be translated as soon as possible.
