The DeWitt Mackenzie Papers primarily document his life as a correspondent for the Associated Press (AP). The bulk of the collection consists of Mackenzie's correspondence, photographs, World War I dispatches from the front lines, telegrams and columns from 1930-1951, unpublished memoirs, manuscripts, memorabilia, and authored books. The collection is an excellent historical resource for both World Wars and the post-World War II (1945-51) era. The Mackenzie Papers has been arranged into four series: Subject Files, Columns and Dispatches, Memorabilia and Photographs, and Printed Material. The Subject Files series contains correspondence, articles, and files on countries and other subjects. Columns and Dispatches consist of the cables of articles written for AP (1917-1918 and 1939-1951) in chronological order. Images of Mackenzie, his family and fellow correspondents as well as medals, awards and other items can be found in the Memorabilia and Photographs series. The Printed Material series includes books, magazines, and other published items.
