The papers of Conger Reynolds document his career and personal life. Nearly eight boxes of correspondence (1899-1970) span his lifetime, with letters from Albert B. Cummins, Jay N. Darling, and Edward R. Murrow. His early days are reflected in composition books, diaries, and certificates. His journalism career can be traced through newspaper clippings from the Chicago Tribune's Paris edition, while his work in the Intelligence section during WWI is also documented in subject folders. Reynolds, the diplomat, is recorded with material concerning the American consulates in Halifax and Stuttgart. His work as director of public relations for the Standard Oil Company spans the years of 1929 to 1963, and includes items such as advertising budgets, public attitude surveys, and organizational charts. Other topics range from reports of the Public Relations Society of America to USO publicity or University of Iowa journalism classes to the People to People program.
