[0147] Anti-Catholic documents collection, 1844-1930 (bulk 1844-1888), undated, MS2006-59

Location: Archives and Manuscripts, John J. Burns Library, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467-3801

Description: This collection documents popular and political manifestations of anti-Catholic prejudice in the United States during the 19th century. Materials document the burning of the Ursuline convent in Charlestown, MA in 1834; riots targeting Catholics in Philadelphia, PA; and the American Party during the 1850s-1860s. One of the most famous incidents of anti-Catholic sentiment expression occurred August 11, 1834; non-Catholic rioters looted and burned the Ursuline Convent of Mount Benedict in Charlestown, MA. Anti-Catholic violence also erupted in Philadelphia when 13 people were killed in riots in 1835. Activities by the American Nativist Party in Kensington, Pennsylvania, in 1844 also sparked anti-Catholic riots. In the 1850s, the American Party, also known as the Know-Nothing Party, was partly founded on an anti-Catholic platform. Material documenting popular violence against Catholics include an account of the burning of the Ursuline Convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1834; a biography of an Ursuline nun; a student essay on the Ursuline Convent from 1930; and a piece of correspondence giving an account of the anti-Catholic riots in Pennsylvania. In addition, the collection contains material relating to the American Party. This includes party constitutions, records books, membership lists, and meeting minutes.

[0150] Anti-Communism Films of the Early 1960s [online]

Location: Pepperdine Digital Collections, Pepperdine University Special Collections and University Archives, Room 326, Payson Library - Malibu Campus, 24255 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, CA 90263

Description: In the early 1960s at the height of the Cold War, Pepperdine College sponsored a four-part, Hollywood-produced film series titled Crisis for Americans. Utilizing newsreel footage and scripted narration, each film sought to expose the threat of Soviet-based communism to capitalism and free societies around the globe. The films describe how communism preys on susceptible youth (Communist Accent on Youth, 1961), spreads through violent aggression (Communist Imperialism, 1962), and cloaks itself behind the discourse of “peaceful coexistence” (Communism and Coexistence, 1963). The fourth film, The Questions and the Answers (1965), argues for the necessity of congressional investigations that root out communist activities within the United States. All four films can now be viewed online alongside supplementary archival materials about the films, including internal memos, correspondence, scripts, and newspaper clippings.
