» Use of the collections

Users can easily access the collections′ stock via personal names or film titles. Extensive databases are available and our archivists will be happy to assist you!
The collections of Filmmuseum Potsdam are publicly accessible after advance reservation by phone or in written form. Since 1990, research work at the collections has been facilitated by constant reviews, evaluations and registrations of the stored items. Access to the stock is possible via personal names or film titles (original title, distributor’s title, working title). Object-related databases contain almost every collected item – that’s why most user requests can be dealt with quickly and successfully. As a matter of course, our archivists will assist researchers. Services, such as information, reviews of stored items and lending, are subject to the museum’s scale of charges and fees.
