Abstract
Mary Harron (1953- ) is a Canadian-born filmmaker, screenwriter, and journalist. Harron's journalism dates from primarily the 1960s-1990s, where she focused on music and culture, particularly the early punk scenes in both London and New York. In the late 1980s, Harron began her film career by writing and directing documentaries for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). In the 1990s, after moving to New York, she worked as a producer for the PBS show Edge, which focused on pop culture. In 1996, Harron wrote and directed her first feature film, I Shot Andy Warhol. She went on to write and direct American Psycho (2000) and The Notorious Bettie Page (2005), and direct Charlie Says (2018). As of 2025, she has continued to direct feature films, television episodes, and miniseries. The Mary Harron Papers (dated 1939-2018) consist of materials in paper, electronic, and analog audiovisual formats created and collected by Harron documenting her career as a screenwriter, filmmaker, and journalist. Materials documenting her career as a filmmaker include research materials, pre-production documentation, and production documentation (e.g., schedules, casting, scripts), as well as clippings and publications that contain reviews or served as source material. Notable projects documented in this collection include I Shot Andy Warhol, American Psycho, and The Notorious Bettie Page. The collection also documents Harron's career as a journalist, focusing on early punk music and culture reporting. Music and culture journalism is documented through notes and transcripts of interviews, interview recordings, and published writings.
Biographical Note
Mary Harron (1953- ) is a Canadian-born filmmaker, screenwriter, and journalist. Harron's journalism, which focused on music and culture, dates from primarily the 1970s-late 1980s. She often wrote about the early punk scenes in both London and New York. She was a writer for Punk magazine in the mid-1970s, served as the drama critic for The Observer in London, and served as a music critic for The Guardian and the New Statesman. In the late 1980s, Harron began her film career by writing and directing documentaries for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Additionally, she directed episodes of the British arts show The Late Show, and in the 1990s, after moving to New York, she worked as a producer for the PBS show Edge, which focused on pop culture. In 1996, Harron wrote and directed her first feature film, I Shot Andy Warhol; it received an Independent Spirit Award nomination and opened part of the Cannes Film Festival. Harron became known for her independent films, many of which focused on women and/or controversial subjects, such as pornography and explicit violence. She went on to write and direct American Psycho (2000) and The Notorious Bettie Page (2005), and direct Charlie Says (2018). She continued to direct television episodes and miniseries, including Pasadena (2002), Big Love (2006), Six Degrees (2006), The Nine (2007), and Anna Nicole (2013). As of early 2025, she has continued to direct feature films, television episodes, and miniseries.

Scope and Contents
The Mary Harron Papers (dated 1939-2018) consist of materials in paper, electronic, and analog audiovisual formats created and collected by Harron documenting her career as a screenwriter, filmmaker, and journalist. Materials documenting her career as a filmmaker include film elements (such as voiceovers, interviews, director's cuts, and network cuts) on various media in analog and digital formats. Also included is documentation for these films, such as correspondence, research files, production books, calendars, contracts, budgets, press releases, and published reviews. Films by Harron represented in this collection include I Shot Andy Warhol, American Psycho, The Notorious Bettie Page, and Charlie Says. Short films and documentaries represented in the collection include "Streatham Ice Rink" and Holding Fast. Television shows and specials directed or produced by Harron include the The Late Show, South Bank Show, Edge, Big Love, The Nine, and Anna Nicole. The collection also documents Harron's career as a journalist, focusing on early punk music and culture reporting for publications including The Guardian, Punk, and The Village Voice. Related materials consist of notes and transcripts of interviews, interview recordings, drafts and manuscripts, correspondence with publishers, and published writings. Unrealized projects are documented through screenplay drafts, manuscripts, and research materials. A small amount of personal material is included in the collection, mainly as correspondence, photographs, journals, and daily planners. All of the materials in the collection, especially those related to her feature films, documentaries (such as Holding Fast, about a Tiben Refugee Camp), television movies (such as Anna Nicole), and unrealized projects (such as "Love Affair" which focused on Ruth Kligman, who was in a relationship with Jackson Pollock) reflect Harron's continuous focus on controversial topics or, as Harron stated in 2020 in New York Magazine, topics that "bring history to light."

About this Guide
Processing Information
At the time of accessioning, materials were rehoused in archival boxes, with loose materials foldered in their original order. Born-digital items were identified, physically separated, and inventoried, but were not forensically imaged, analyzed, or described. Materials in Boxes 14-15 were vacuumed and cleaned due to the presence of water damage and minor mold.
At the time of 2024 accessioning, materials with evidence of mold were photocopied and the originals were discarded.
At the time of processing in 2025, the collection was arranged and described into series. Materials were placed into acid-free legal boxes and folders, and oversized materials were rehoused in appropriately sized boxes. Scrapbook pages were removed from their binders, and additional items were removed from non-archival sleeves. Duplicate publications and documents, publications widely available online or in NYU's catalog holdings, and documents with sensitive personal information were removed.
50 CDs, DVDs, floppy disks, and flash drives were forensically imaged, analyzed, and arranged in Forensic Toolkit. New York University Libraries follow professional standards and best practices when imaging, ingesting, and processing born-digital material in order to maintain the integrity and authenticity of the content.
