Daniel J. Leab papers, Ms. 2010.011, Brown University Library.

This manuscript collection consists of the primary and secondary sources used by Daniel Leab in writing Orwell Subverted: the CIA and the Filming of Animal Farm, drafts of the book itself, and sundry items relating to the research and publishing process. Most of the material falls into a few categories. One category is correspondence among members of the team making the film. Many of these conversations have to do with the ending of the movie, which is different from that of the book. Another major subset of the source material is press clippings about the film, including reviews, articles about the making of the film, and profiles of the film-makers. Other ephemera of the film-making process are included, including drafts of scripts. The other major category of material is photocopies and printouts of scholarly articles and chapters, on topics, ranging from the life of George Orwell, to the history of animated film. In addition, there are many smaller topics that receive their own folder and heading. The documents are arranged in the folders and grouped by theme.

The material is arranged in to roughly four series: Series 1: Material relating to the writing of Orwell Subverted Series 2: Material relating to Animal Farm, the film Series 3: Background research
