A significant portion of this collection includes agendas, clippings, case files, reports, and resolutions related to the national and California Sigma Delta Chi Freedom of Information Committees. Founded in 1961, the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation promotes excellence and ethics in journalism. The Freedom of Information Committee monitors press freedoms across the nation, and is often called upon to intervene in instances where the media is restricted. Included are several case files from high profile courtroom cases in California and throughout the nation dating from the late 1960s and early 1970s, as well as records related to the committee's support of journalists who were expelled from the United Nations in 1971. Also included are clippings, correspondence, case files from several California university newspapers pertaining to freedom of the press issues, and the syllabus and class notes from History of Western Civilization, 1946. The collection also includes a 1912 scrapbook belonging to Fogel's father, Moe M. Fogel, which contains clippings from several Los Angeles area newspapers.
