In 1982 Congress transferred to the Library the pamphlet collection of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), which consisted of some 4,000 items covering a wide range of topics: labor, communism, fascism, and neocolonialism were addressed by major figures in American communism and socialism. The publications in the collection are most extensive for the study of the American left.

This collection has not yet been cataloged or otherwise processed, so please contact the Rare Book and Special Collections Division with any questions you may have about its contents.

Please note that this collection does not include the archival files of the HUAC, such as minutes or reports; these can be found at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) (see: https://historyhub.history.gov/legislative-records/b/legislative-records-blog/posts/records-of-the-house-committee-on-un-american-activities-huac).
