Series I: Screenplays and production files, 1932-1996

This series contains creative and administrative material relating to specific film projects. Creative documents include screenplay drafts (including notes, working copies, shooting scripts, and revisions), stories, treatments, step outlines, and proposals. Also included a number of "file copies" of Jarrico's screenplays, which are generally free of annotation. Administrative documents include personnel lists, shooting schedules, correspondence, studio memoranda, feedback from script readers, contracts, and budgets. Many files contain material used as research for film projects, such as newspaper or magazine clippings and photocopies of books and articles. Some files contain clippings of reviews or publicity for these films. This series includes documents relating to both produced and unproduced film projects. Documents anterior to Jarrico's blacklisting were often written under a pseudonym—notably, "Peter Achilles." Many film projects went through multiple iterations, their titles changing as a result of rewrites or new pitch opportunities. The folder titles in this series reflect the film titles as recorded by Jarrico in his original files; however, I have recorded any alternative titles found in each file. Files relating to the same film may appear under different titles (i.e., Pair of Kings and Man in the Iron Mask. This series also contains other dramatic writing, including television scripts and stage plays (sometimes based on material developed for film projects). Much of Jarrico's work involved collaborating with, revising, adapting, and/or rewriting the work of other writers. Documentation relating to these collaborative and editorial efforts is also included in this series, including films written with fellow blacklistee Michael Wilson, and Jarrico's second wife, Yvette.

Series VII: Salt of the Earth, 1950-2004

This series contains material relating to Salt of the Earth, a film that Jarrico produced in the wake of his blacklisting. It largely comprises print material about production, promotion, distribution, and reception, including clippings, correspondence, financial documents, notes, and planning documents. It also includes some audiovisual material relating to the film. Much of the printed material was accessioned in numbered folders, as part of a single fonds. The numbering of the files reflects the alphabetical order of the folder titles (with some exceptions). The numbered folder titles have been preserved in the series arrangement, wherever possible. However, this numbering system does not appear to represent Jarrico's original ordering: the files contain posthumous materials (including materials addressed to Jarrico's widow, Lia Benedetti) and were not written in Jarrico's hand. In some cases, Jarrico's original folder titles have been stored as clippings within the numbered folders (further suggesting that the numbered ordering was imposed posthumously). In these cases, I have preserved both the numbered folder title and the original folder title. Often, the numbered folder titles do not accurately reflect the folder contents: Please refer to the folder scope and content notes for an accurate summary of the materials.
