Established in 1997 by Jerry L. Schneider this idiosyncratic fansite is a database dedicated to the preservation of movie making locations used in television serials, westerns, adventure films and more. Users are able, for example, to find out what films were filmed in a particular location (e.g. Monument Valley, Arizona). The resulting list of films gives title, production company, date and main cast and credits. Other pages permit searches by studio-owned lots, backlots and ranches. It is not possible to search by film or television series title. The site relies on the work of one individual helped by other enthusiasts who submit information and appears relatively slow to update.

The Irish Film & Television Index is a constituent element of the Irish Film & TV Research Online website. The Index’s aim is to document all Irish-made cinema and major television productions as well as Irish-themed audio-visual representations produced outside of Ireland. The database, which has drawn on the archival and paper records from many of the world’s leading film archives and specialist libraries, including ones in Ireland, Britain, the USA, and Australia, has almost 40,000 titles. Under the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences’ Major Grant Scheme, 2003-05, an award was made to update Kevin Rockett’s The Irish Filmography (1996) and to document all major non-fiction films, including newsreels, and animation, made for cinema and television. Researchers are able to find, for example, an Irish-theme film; its cast list or production personnel; read a synopsis of its content; establish what has been written about it; compile, through a keyword search, a list of complementary titles; and then find out where a copy of the film may be found.
