Records of Bay Area Student Committee to Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities (BASCAHCUA), an organization (1960-1964) of students from the San Francisco Bay Area active in both national and local opposition to the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Much of the collection focuses on BASCAHCUA's exposé of the biased representation of a 1960 anti-HUAC demonstration in San Francisco that appeared in the film Operation Abolition. Organizational and operational records consist of internal and external correspondence, financial records, public relations materials, legal material, minutes, and agenda. The internal correspondence between officers Burton White and Irving Hall reflects the dissatisfaction felt by San Francisco members with White's neglect of them in favor of national activities. In the external correspondence there are letters from Aubrey Williams and James Roosevelt. Also includes a reference file of newspaper clippings and printed matter on related topics.
Donor Irving Hall requests that any researchers using this collection who publish works citing the collection send him one copy of said publication. Donor also wishes to note that he is willing to give his permission for researchers to obtain his FBI file under FOIA and that he is interested in doing oral history interviews. Mr. Hall's address as of July 2021 is Irving Hall, 3 Columbia St., Oxford, N.Y. 13830.
