The '''Subversive Activities Control Board,''' (SACB) 1950–1972 records are a treasure trove of information about the [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA) and its [[front organization]]s. The records constitute one of the most valuable resources for the study of [[left-wing]] radicalism during the 1950s and 1960s.

The records constitute one of the most valuable resources for the study of [[left-wing]] radicalism during the 1950s and 1960s.
Organized on November 1, 1950, under authority provided in the Internal Security Act, the SACB was empowered to order the registration of organizations that it found to be "[[Communist front]]," "Communist action," or "Communist infiltrated." In carrying out this mandate, the SACB took a leading position in the federal government’s response to the Red Scare of the late 1940s and 1950s.
