Selected Bibliography

A NOTE ON PRIMARY SOURCES

In researching the life and work of Alfred Hitchcock, the Alfred Hitchcock Collection at the Margaret Herrick Library, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Los Angeles, is an indispensable resource. Numerous other collections at the Library—including those of the various Hollywood studios for which Hitchcock worked, his writers, technicians, actors, and friends—are similarly important. The Academy’s oral history collections contain transcripts of lengthy interviews with key names from Hitchcock’s Hollywood years. Also in Los Angeles, the Special Collections at the Charles E. Young Research Library, UCLA, provided many very useful materials in the research of this book.

The Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University has collections of papers belonging to several of Hitchcock’s associates and collaborators. Texas has some excellent resources, including the Ernest Lehman and David O. Selznick collections at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin, and the Ronald Davis Oral History Collection at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas. In New York, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Rare Books and Manuscripts Division and the Billy Rose Theatre Division at the New York Public Library have limited but useful resources about various writers who wrote with and about Hitchcock. The Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscript Library at Yale University has jewels scattered through its capacious archives, including a recording of Gilbert Harrison’s interview with Hitchcock in 1980, one of the last he ever did.

In London, the British Film Institute (BFI) holds the best primary materials for studying Hitchcock’s career and milieu before his departure for Hollywood. Beyond its invaluable store of film periodicals, the BFI’s Reuben Library also has vast collections of photographs and film footage that help to shine light on Hitchcock’s work. North of the Thames, the British Library’s comprehensive collections of periodicals helped me locate original copies of dozens of articles by and about Hitchcock from the 1920s onward, and its audiovisual archives have a trove of Hitchcock interviews and documentaries. The Library’s magnificent online newspaper database also allowed me to stumble across many Hitchcock-related articles that I would not have otherwise encountered. I am indebted to the outstanding work of the scholars Sidney Gottlieb and Jane Sloan for bringing so much material by and about Hitchcock to my attention. Sloan’s bibliography and Gottlieb’s anthologies of Hitchcock’s writing and interviews are indispensable to any Hitchcock researcher.
