Database for existing nitrate film locations?

[Lokke Heiss]

I remember watching Portrait of Jennie and thinking: 'Wow this would look great in nitrate."

Later I learned a lot of people had already come to the same conclusion, it was one of the films featured in the Nitrate film festival's first year in Rochester.

Is there some kind of database that lists if a particular film exists in nitrate, and what collection it is in? (or the obvious follow up question: Does the film exist in nitrate in a condition good enough to be projected?)

For example: If a nitrate print exists of I Know Where I'm Going, where is it and how accessible is it?

UCLA's online tool shows on which format the film exists and will indicate if it is nitrate.

OF course, since UCLA doesn't have every film made donated to their archive, the film format material of what they do have in their archive is listed in their catalog.
