This series consists of files from the Washington Post’s in-house library of resources utilized by editors, reporters, artists, and photographers in their daily work at the newspaper. The original library contained books, clippings, an online database, and various reference files. The materials received within this collection mostly consist of what the library identified as “pamphlet files,” the bulk of which are represented by name and subject files. Other items belonged to their “archive,” which is material they considered to be historically relevant even after it was no longer in active use. An administrative binder in the series provides further details about the library’s mission, services, and resources. A large number of staff and executive name files include speeches, clippings, press releases, testimonies, and research. “Backgrounder” files include notes from off-the-record talks, interviews, and briefings with U.S. presidents and foreign officials dating from 1963 to 1968. The topics include foreign policy, the Vietnam War, the economy, domestic issues, and the 1964 election. The series also contains the Pentagon Papers as originally received and arranged by the Washington Post, and the version submitted into public record by Senator Mike Gravel. There is little to no documentation of the decision-making process that led to their publication. Files on the history of the Washington Post document the move of the newspaper offices into a new building on L Street in the early 1950s, and include planning documents, articles, blueprints, equipment purchases, photographs, correspondence, and notes. Some of the earliest documents in the series include correspondence regarding a financial dispute between Beriah Wilkins and Elizabeth Hatton, whose husband Frank Hatton purchased the Washington Post with Wilkins in 1889.
Material types include: correspondence, clippings, articles, books, notes, photographs, slides, blueprints, memoranda, schedules, scrapbooks, programs, biographies, speeches, and testimonies.
Arranged alphabetically by topic or material type.
