Launched in the summer of 1995, the Louise Brooks Society was one of the first websites devoted to silent film or a silent film star. Only a few pages at first, the LBS (www.pandorasbox.com) has grown, and so has its acclaim as a resource for fans of Louise Brooks and early cinema. The LBS has been referenced and cited in a handful of books, as well as in newspapers, magazines, and other publications (both print and web) from around the world. Here is a select bibliography of articles about or referencing the LBS. Items in bold indicates TV, radio or podcast media. (updated November 2023)

The site is a kind of virtual fan club.
