New York Times Research Materials, circa 1960s-1990s.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/423061839

The New York Times Research Materials contain news clippings, press releases, campaign ephemera, speeches, photocopies of public records, and reporters' notes, drafts and correspondence that document the political and social climate of Georgia, the South and, to a lesser extent, the nation as a whole from the early 1960s to the 1990s, with particular attention given to the political career of former President and Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter. Coverage of Georgia elections, whether for the U.S. Congress or the Georgia General Assembly, are particularly well-represented, highlighting figures such as Wyche Fowler, Newt Gingrich, Herman Talmadge and Andrew Young. News clippings comprise the bulk of the collection and are taken primarily from The New York Times but also the Atlanta Journal, the Atlanta Constitution and other regional newspapers. As materials compiled by reporters at the Atlanta News Bureau of The New York Times, the files would have provided a valuable resource. With the inclusion of the reporters' notes, correspondence and drafts of articles later published in The New York Times, the collection documents, to some degree, the reporters' newsgathering process. The state of the collection prior to processing suggests that the files may have been extracted from a larger group of files or most likely cobbled together from the files of various reporters.
