1948 Attorney General's list

1961 HUAC guide

On December 1, 1961, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) published a 288-page book entitled Guide to Subversive Organizations and Publications.[1] This massive list, annotated with notes documenting the first official government mention of alleged communist affiliation, superseded a very similar list published on January 2, 1957.[1] The style of the publication follows that of a 1948 HUAC pamphlet, Citations by Official Government Agencies of Organizations and Publications Found to be Communist or Communist Fronts.[2]
