William T. Poole was a 20th-century American research analyst for the US Congress who donated the "William T. Poole collection," one of two key collections to date of anti-Communist government files, to the Hoover Institution Library and Archives.
When HUAC ended, Poole took possession of files unwanted for permanent government retention.
[4] In 1982, Poole gave his collection of material to the Hoover Institution Library and Archives at Stanford University.
The collection comprises 242 manuscript boxes (100.8 linear feet), including: reports, correspondence, minutes, hearing transcripts, legal exhibits, clippings, serial issues, pamphlets, and leaflets, relating to Communism and radicalism in the United States, and to the anti-Vietnam War movement, plus exhibits of Subversive Activities Control Board and files of HUAC.
