The Cold War & Internal Security Collection and Joyner Library Special Collections are hosting a joint exhibit titled “HUAC Goes to Hollywood: Aspects of the Blacklist 70 Years Later.” The exhibit can be found on the first floor of Joyner Library, and will remain up through the end of December. In support of this exhibit, we have created a series of blog posts expanding on the themes discussed in the exhibit:
HUAC Goes to Hollywood, Part 1: The Forgotten Investigation of 1940
HUAC Goes to Hollywood, Part 2: Bible of the Blacklist
HUAC Goes to Hollywood, Part 3: Investigating the Blacklist’s Critics
HUAC Goes to Hollywood, Part 4: All the Party’s Men
Please feel free to share any questions or comments regarding these posts, or the exhibit. I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of colleagues from Special Collections and Preservation/Conservation, especially Sarah McLusky, Larry Houston, and Layne Carpenter. I am entirely responsible for any flaws.
