Newsweek, Inc. donated its research archive of approximately 3000 linear feet to the Center for American History in 2001. In 1933, concurrent with the magazine's birth, Newsweek staff began clipping and gathering newspaper and magazine articles, government reports, annual reports, reporter's files, and ephemera. A variety of sources are represented in the archive for the 63-year clipping period. Newsweek, Time, New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal are the major sources.

The Atlanta Bureau of Newsweek, inc., was the hub of NEWSWEEK magazine's Southern network. It was established in 1953, with William (Bill) Emerson serving as its chief until 1961. Joseph (Joe) Cumming, Jr. was the Bureau chief from 1961-1979. Beginning with the BROWN V. BOARD OF EDUCATION Supreme Court case in 1953, which called for the desegregation of public schools, the Atlanta Bureau mostly reported on civil rights issues. Correspondents and stringers throughout the South sent articles and releases containing explicit details, descriptions, and quotations to the Atlanta office. Frequently, these articles were sent to the main NEWSWEEK office in New York, after being compiled into a single article or distilled into more concise versions. In turn, the main office followed similar procedures, selecting and consolidating portions of articles from various regional offices into a single published article.
