The New Republic records
The New Republic records contain various records of the magazine throughout its publication history, arranged by accession. The majority of accessions came via Martin Peretz, who owned the majority stake from 1974-2012 and served as editor-in-chief for most of that period. The majority of the materials in the collection are also from this time, though there are also records from the time of its founding as well as various commemorative files from anniversary celebrations over the years that contain materials from the first half of the twentieth century.
Amongst the records are Peretz’s files, including editorial files, correspondence, and manuscripts, along with those of multiple other editors in various positions, including Gilbert Harrison, Ann Hulbert, Leon Wieseltier, Michael Kinsley, Andrew Sullivan, Michael Kelly, Jonathan Cohn, Charles Lane, and Robert Evett, among others. There are issues files as well as files relating to the “Back of the Book” culture and arts articles, as well as further records of the company, including memoranda, policies, permissions to reproduce, and more. There are materials relating to lawsuits, including those of authors or the magazine for plagiarism or libel (cases against Ruth Shalit, the libel suit against Ann Louise Bardach and the magazine from Jorge Mas Canosa) as well as a set of records related to the Stephen Glass controversy regarding his falsifying of articles during his time at the magazine.
The materials are arranged by accession, or the materials that were donated as a group, which have also been given descriptive titles to disclose their contents. The materials within each accession series have not been rearranged, but instead remain in the order they were received, in order to preserve original order and potential contexts for individual files.

Title:
Jessica Mitford Papers 1949-73
Correspondence, printed material, reports, notes, interviews, manuscripts, legal documents, and other materials represent Jessica Mitford's work on her three investigatory books and comprise the bulk of these papers.
Collection comprises correspondence, research materials (printed materials, interviews, legal documents, newsletters, notes, etc.), manuscripts and galley proofs, advertising and publicity, reviews and reader responses--materials generated during the research, writing and publication of these three works. The research files contain a wealth of data on the three disparate topics: American death rituals and funeral industry; the conspiracy trial of Dr. Benjamin Spock, civil disobedience and Vietnam-era jurisprudence; and the American prison system, criminal justice and corrections. Only a small amount of personal materials (which fall within the context of Mitford's activities as author of said books) form a part of this collection. Records of the East Bay Memorial Association (1954-1962), of which Mitford's husband Robert Treuhaft was an officer, are also included in Series I.
