FIAF International FilmArchive database is an international compendium of information on film and television maintained by the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF). It brings together the world's leading institutions in the field of moving picture heritage preservation and covers film literature from 300 periodicals and includes the FIAF thesaurus. The database features print sources for 22,000 silent films, a bibliography of FIAF members' publications and a directory of film and TV documentation collections.

FIAF International FilmArchive database provides over 325,000 indexed citations to articles from over 300 film periodicals, including academic journals and trade papers. Each entry consists of a full bibliographic description, an abstract and comprehensive headings (biographical names, film titles and general subjects).

Additionally, FIAF includes "The Treasures from the Film Archives" database, which contains unique information about silent film holdings in international film archives. It was conceived as a tool to aid the work of preservation, research, and film exchange between archives, and currently provides minimal credit information and holdings on over 35,000 works. Descriptors are in English.
