How do I search the Variety Archives?

Our search engine uses optical character recognition to find keywords in headlines, articles, advertisements, and cutlines. However, if the page is in poor condition, the search engine may not recognize certain words or phrases. We are always looking for better-quality copies to replace those that are damaged.

Are the special editions, “For Your Consideration,” or Festival Issues part of the Variety Archives?

Those are not currently part of the archives.

Some of the Archive issues are hard to read; can the quality be improved?

Variety kept back issues in bound volumes, but in the scanning process we realized some issues were missing or were too damaged to be useful, and therefore they have either been omitted or are included as-is.
