== History ==
The Archive opened in October 2007 and contains material collected and owned by the film director [[Stanley Kubrick]] (1928–1999).<ref>[http://museums.wikia.com/wiki/Stanley_Kubrick_Archive Stanley Kubrick Archive], [http://museums.wikia.com/ MuseumsWiki].</ref> 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.

== Collection ==
The collection spans Kubrick's career as a photographer for [[Look (American magazine)|Look]] and as a film director. His films are: ''[[Fear and Desire]]'', ''[[Killer's Kiss]]'', ''[[The Killing (film)|The Killing]]'', ''[[Paths of Glory]]'', ''[[Spartacus (film)|Spartacus]]'', ''[[Lolita (1962 film)|Lolita]]'', ''[[Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb]]'', ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey (film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]'', ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'', ''[[Barry Lyndon]]'', ''[[The Shining (film)|The Shining]]'', ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'' and ''[[Eyes Wide Shut]]''. Kubrick also planned to make a number of other films; two in particular were abandoned just before production, ''Napoleon'' and ''The Aryan Papers''. He also played an important role in the conception of ''[[AI: Artificial Intelligence]]'', although it was completed 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 and photographs for all his films and Look, as well as 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 worldwide.<ref>Taschen, ''The Stanley Kubrick Archives''. {{ISBN|978-3-8228-2284-5}}.</ref>

== Exhibitions ==
The archive, prior to its donation to the university, is the subject of the documentary ''[[Stanley Kubrick's Boxes]]'' by [[Jon Ronson]].
