A real Hollywood ending doesn’t always come from Hollywood; sometimes it comes from, gasp, the internet.
Or in this case, the Internet Archive, which has stepped in at the 11th hour to save the Michelson Cinema Research Library.
Lillian Michelson is Hollywood’s most famous and beloved librarian. Her marriage to late, great storyboard artist and production designer Harold Michelson brought her to Los Angeles in the late 1940s and eventually to Samuel Goldwyn Studios, where she began a lifelong career providing inspiration and information for all manner of filmmakers. Over the next half-century, she would build a cinematic research library second to none.

“It’s not a library like you’ve ever seen before,” says Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle, who tells THR he plans to both preserve and digitize the library, a resource for such films as Rosemary s Baby and The Birds
93-year-old Lillian Michelson has been helping Hollywood’s top filmmakers with their research since she began volunteering at the film library on Samuel Goldwyn Studios’ lot in 1961. Almost 60 years later, she is donating the Michelson Cinema Research Library which contains over 1 million books, images, maps, periodicals and more to the Internet Archive, a non-profit organization dedicated to building a digital library with universal access.
