Periodicals Indexing Project (P.I.P.)

In 1972, the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) created the Periodicals Indexing Project (P.I.P.) to help FIAF archives collaborate and pool their resources on film journal coverage. The main objective was to produce the International Index to Film Periodicals, based on contributions from FIAF affiliates.
The ambition of the P.I.P. has always been to maintain high editorial standards. The superior quality of the indexing results from the contributions of specialists based in the countries in which the periodicals are published. The indexers are not only at home in the language in which the articles are written, but they are also knowledgeable about the cinema of that country. Indexing is sent to the P.I.P. office in Brussels, where it is checked by the editorial staff against the periodical for accuracy and consistency, and then included in the central database.
