Links / Resources

Welcome to the Links / Resources page - formerly "silent film links." Here are links to websites of interest to those interested in learning more about the silent film era - not just its celebrities and movies, but also it's history and culture in the United States and all around the world; this page is a work in progress, and I expect to add other links on Louise Brooks related topics including the Jazz Age, the Weimar era, Denishawn, etc... as well as links to sites (i.e. research portals) where YOU can explore a wealth of material on the internet.
 
Are these lists missing a worthwhile site? Send a suggestions to LouiseBrooksSocietyATgMAILdotCOM
 
Thanks for your interest

THE JAZZ AGE

 

While conducting research for my forthcoming two volume work, Around the World with Louise Brooks, I spent hundreds of hours going through various online newspaper and magazine archives. I bookmarked these sites in order to return to them again, but also because some proved difficult to find, in that some were come across only by chance, or were found while looking for something else. 

The link lists shown below bookmark film magazines dating from the silent and early sound era. At the time these lists were compiled, each link was freely accessible on the web, without need of subscription, institutional affiliation, or local access. I have subdivided these lists by region. The dates in parenthesis represent the years available online. Generally speaking, I have included magazines published from the time before Brooks' began her film career, but not those published after her career ended. (I have also excluded a couple of the very earliest publications, from the first years of the Twentieth century, as well as a few of the publications aimed at home movie makers.) Not all publications shown here contain material related to Louise Brooks, though many do.  Happy hunting / happy researching.
