The Lloyd Films in the World’s Archives

Are you wondering if film preservation is alive and kicking?
Concerned about the state of Lloyd films?
Anxious to know if your favorite film is extant?

Well, you’ve found your special page.

Below are listed the world’s major archives, and a list, for each, of the films of Harold Lloyd that are housed at each site. This list, luckily, is to be continually added to, as new (old) films are found and rightfully placed in film archives, to receive the care and reassessment that they deserve. Let’s all support film preservation, as it is of crucial importance… Some of these films, listed herein, are in the process of being restored. Some are already restored, and some of the listed archives allow public viewing of the films they hold. This should always be requested, in advance of your visit, in letter form, to the address provided. Do remember that these archives are not public exhibition houses — these are sites, worldwide, that have joined the film preservation effort, and are as concerned about saving our precious film heritage as you are.

To find out more about the state of film preservation and archives, visit Friends of FIAF — The International Federation of Film Archives.

Each entry will provide the available address of each archive, and an alphabetical listing of Harold Lloyd’s films to be found.
