Historical Note The Center for the Study of Popular Culture, based in Los Angeles, California, was founded in 1988 by David Horowitz, president of the Center since the beginning, and Peter Collier, his associate. The Center's objectives are to promote traditional conservative values, especially regarding racial and social issues, and mold public opinion by challenging opposing points of view. To achieve these goals the Center distributes pamphlets, links its website to others with similar goals, probes political affiliations of members of academic institutions, and campaigns in favor of anti-liberal talk shows and other programs. The Center has worked with an organization of conservative college students and the Committee for Media Integrity (COMINT) to focus public attention on the liberal bias it sees in the media. In addition, David Horowitz personally contributes to the mission of the Center by promoting his books, appearing on radio and television programs, and speaking on college campuses around the country. The Center has three branches: FrontPage Magazine, a daily online journal; Wednesday Morning Club, a forum to promote conservative ideas in the media and entertainment industries; and the Individual Rights Foundation, which provides legal support to the Center and litigates constitutional rights cases. Contributions from private organizations with conservative affiliations, such as the Bradley Foundation, Carthage Foundation, Olin Foundation, Richard Scaife Foundation, and others, have enabled the Center to build a strong financial base. Scope and Content of Collection Acquired in 2003, the Center for the Study of Popular Culture records consist of writings, correspondence, memoranda, schedules, legal and financial records, printed matter, sound recordings, and videorecordings, relating to conservatism and the mass media in the United States. The collection includes papers of David Horowitz, founder and president of the Center.
