J. Stuart Blackton

The J. Stuart Blackton papers span the years 1912–1962 (bulk 1917–1940) and encompass 1.5 linear feet. The collection consists of production files, subject files, and manuscripts. The production files cover many of the films produced and/or directed by Blackton after he left Vitagraph in 1917, though the material is not extensive. The subject files include clippings, contracts, correspondence, distribution reports for his Warner Bros. films, and radio scripts. The manuscripts consist of two versions of Blackton's autobiography.

Gift of Charles G. Clarke, 1970.
