Papers of Philip E. Stevenson, a writer and editor on social justice and labor, who was blacklisted for his refusal to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1951. The collection best illustrates Stevenson's career as a writer and his interests in the American Southwest, the labor struggles of the New Mexican coal miners, culture and aesthetic theories, and the House Un-American Activities Committee. There is little directly concerning the Hollywood Ten. The largest portion of the collection consists of drafts of five volumes comprising The Seed, which were Morning Noon and Night, Out of the Dust, Old Father Antic, The Hoax, and The Sowing. Other major works documented in the collection are the novels The Edge of the Nest, The Gospel According to St. Luke's, and “The Pig-Iron Venus” (unpublished). A small administrative file of letters, subscriptions, and draft articles submitted for publication reflects Stevenson's work as co-founder and editor of the California Quarterly. On tape is a memorial service for Stevenson. The photographs include family snapshots; albums of photos from a 1912 family European trip and from Stevenson's World War I service; and photos of Paris (1919), Saranac Lake, New York (1920), the Southwest (1930s-1950s), and the Zuni Indian Reservation (1933).
