http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/435637976

These papers consist of photographs, correspondence, research notes, and press clippings related to Pare Lorentz's career as a documentary filmmaker and journalist. Materials related to each of his films are grouped together in separate series. The office files, organized either alphabetically or chronologically according to Lorentz's own system, include records from various New Deal agencies, such as the U.S. Film Service, or the Resettlement Administration. There are materials related to Lorentz's time in the military during World War II. After the war, he conducted extensive research on the threat posed by nuclear weapons; those papers are here, as well. There is some correspondence between Lorentz and John Steinbeck, the novelist.
