The volume contains general information about the Pulitzer Prize, lists of its recipients and recipients of other journalism prizes between the 1890s and the 1930s, and newspaper clippings. The remainder of the items are copies of articles labeled with their identifying information and the year submitted for the Pulitzer Prize. Others are articles clipped directly from newspapers that are not otherwise labeled. These include Pulitzer prize-winning political cartoons editorials, and investigative pieces from the 1920s and 1930s. While many of the articles seem to be unrelated to other items in the volume, there are several series of related articles from the same newspaper. These include: stories about the 1934 America’s Cup from the New York Herald-Tribune; stories about prisoner abuse in Trenton, New Jersey from the New York Evening Post; and stories about lynching, chivalry, and Southern culture from the Montgomery Advertiser. The articles in the second half of the volume tend to be focused on international politics and U.S. foreign policy.
