The Louis Stewart Archive is a project established in 2021 by David Lyttle, who performed with Dr. Stewart from 2007 to 2010, to celebrate the jazz master's fifty-year career. In addition to the total discography seen below, which notably includes seven albums with George Shearing and eight with Robert Farnon, the archive includes live recordings, video tapes and recorded interviews, as well as records from Dr. Stewart's own collection. The Louis Stewart Archive is managed by non-profit organisation Jazzlife Alliance.
