Kubrick archive: a London home

Stanley Kubrick not only made films of majesty and unsettling mystery, he also kept meticulous records of the odysseys behind them. Next summer, that collection will find a new home at the University of the Arts London.

The archives of the director of such landmark films as “Dr. Strangelove,” “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Lolita” include not only scripts and research documents from his productions but also correspondence, costumes, props, models, photographs and film equipment. Kubrick died at age 70 in England in 1999.

The filmmaker was intensely private in life, but his widow, Christiane Kubrick, said his work record should be accessible to all. “The films of Stanley Kubrick are the primary things known by the public,” she said in a statement. “His archives have a depth and breadth that we wanted to make available so that future generations have an understanding of the way that Stanley worked.”
