| The
Will Hays papers |
This collection of personal
and business papers focuses on Hays’s years as
head of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors
of America (MPPDA), 1922–1945, when the MPPDA
functioned as a trade association representing
the major Hollywood studios in matters of censorship,
legislation, distribution, foreign trade, antitrust,
and other problems that those companies had in
common. As president of the MPPDA, Hays was a
famous public figure known to movie fans throughout
the country as the person who held the last word
on movie content. He made no films, but informally
in the 1920s and formally from 1934 to his resignation
in 1945, Will Hays could prevent a Hollywood movie
from being released until it met with the approval
of the MPPDA. Digital
