This site is unofficial in nature and is not endorsed or recognized by Barbra Streisand or any of her associates. This site is simply one fan's dedication to an amazing and talented artist: Barbra Streisand. No breach of copyright or intellectual property is intended within this site, and all materials are presented for entertainment and study purposes only. I kindly ask that others visiting this site also refrain from making any sort of revenue from the resources within this site.
About This Site ...
(Above: I was very close to Streisand when she attended The Kennedy Center Honors in 2008!)
Since 2003, I've endeavored to make Barbra-Archives.com as factual and accurate as possible regarding Streisand's career. I have done quite a bit of research on Streisand's career, beyond the readily available biographies and picture books. I have enjoyed searching through newspaper and magazine archives, visiting the National Archives here in D.C., corresponding with other fans and using or borrowing their collections. A couple of fans actually donated their Streisand clippings & scrapbooks to me (ranging from Barbra's early career in the ‘60s to the ‘90s), which had some amazing articles!
Visitors will also notice that I spend a good amount of time concentrating on photographs of Streisand, including the photographer's name and any outtakes or alternate shots I'm aware of. I love photography — Streisand has posed for photography icons like Richard Avedon, Scavullo, Irving Penn, and others.
So ... enjoy! I'm proud of this site and the information I've collected here. Hopefully, Streisand fans new and old will learn something new here about Barbra's incredible, expansive career.
