{"value"=>"<p>The John Gregory Dunne series dates from 1943 to 2010 and contains files of his professional work, research, speaking engagements, and honorary awards and degrees. The series is arranged into five subseries: Books; Journalism; Research; Events and Lectures; and Awards and Accolades.</p> <p>The series illustrates Dunne's interests in Catholicism, Irish heritage, crime, social class, Los Angeles, and the film industry. While the series holds some of Dunne's journalism from the 1960s, most of the materials detail his professional work from the 1970s until 2003. The Books subseries and the Journalism subseries both offer insight into Dunne's publication process through notes, manuscript drafts, galleys, proofs, correspondence, itineraries, and research materials. The Research subseries details Dunne's working subject files and reflects his interests and unpublished projects. The Events and Lectures subseries holds speeches that reveal Dunne's views on journalism and writing as a profession.</p> <p>Dunne often photocopied notes and research, and retained copies across various projects. Thus, some research materials appear in more than one subseries.</p> <p>Be advised that Dunne's notes, manuscript drafts, and research clippings include harmful and offensive words.</p>"}
