An International Database of Shakespeare on Film, Television and Radio

"The project aims to deliver an authoritative online database of Shakespeare-related content in film, television, radio and video recordings, international in scope and dating from 1899 to the present day. It will offer current and continuously updated distribution information. It will identify the location of copies in archive collections. New research will be undertaken into audio-visual Shakespeare as a cultural and commercial phenomenon, using statistical analyses and historical trends to trace how the genre has positioned itself within the film and broadcast markets. The project will have a particular focus on Shakespeare and radio.

The full web service with completed database and many other features will go live in 2008. An incomplete interim version of the database, with limited functionality, can be seen now" (from project web site; please see for more details).
