Article files

The Article Files consists of two dated subseries (1933-1959 and 1960-1977), each arranged alphabetically by the name of author or contributor. These subseries represent a consolidation of the magazine's monthly issue files into an alphabetical sequence. The dated subseries files originally contained, in addition to galleys, drafts of published articles, communications with the editors, research and legal department memoranda, and related correspondence. The unique materials have been retained, but the files have been winnowed of most galleys and some photocopies of article drafts, and brought together alphabetically by name of author. The Article Files series also includes a third subseries, which is a sampling of the monthly issue files.
