The Correspondence and Memoranda files were partially processed by the Time Inc. Archives producing the correspondence files titled: Adler, Biographical, Burck, Congratulatory, Pace, Personal, Reese, Time Edit, Toss(?), and parts of General. Some of these files state that they are "from correspondence." Materials remaining in the unprocessed General files are similar to materials found throughout the files created by the Time Inc. Archives which may mean the processing was incomplete.

General includes letters from subjects of Time covers (Barbara Streisand and an assistant to Martin Luther King, Jr.); invitations to events and to speak; from various companies including Ford Motor Company; and from social organizations (Harvard Club of New York). Biographical contains personal correspondence, letters from school acquaintances, and a 1939 article on Fuerbringer from St. Louis Post Dispatch. Frank Shea was the assistant to the managing editor, and his correspondence primarily contains responses to readers on the behalf of Bernard Auer, Roy Alexander, and Fuerbringer during their absences. Toss(?) looks like material weeded out by the Time Inc. Archives for deaccessioning. Personal contains letters to and from family, the Harvard Club of New York, and former St. Louis colleagues regarding social events, participation on boards, personal charitable activity, and the handling personal household tasks.

Other items of interest include an information packet and letter from Ford thanking Fuerbringer for visiting to test drive the upcoming 1964 Ford Mustang; and a 1965 letter from Time writer Henry Grunwald, the future Editor-in-Chief, requesting visas to travel for work.

Although only some folders have "Time" in the title, the majority of Fuerbringer's Departmental Files relate to Time and his work as the managing editor.

While titles on these early materials call it a "news tour," later articles and other publications written by Time and Time Inc. employees cement the term "newstour." According to a packet on the history of Time Newstours in Henry Grunwald's files, "the purpose of the Newstour is to give an opportunity to a small group of American leaders to visit areas of the world currently in the news..." While the Newstour is arranged by Time, each participant pays their own expenses. Newstours includes briefing binders containing itineraries, participant lists, and background information; cables, memoranda, and other correspondence; notes; and travelogues written by Fuerbringer and other participants.

Speeches contains transcripts and notes along with invitations, correspondence, event ephemera, and news clippings. The majority of speeches are in the General files in reverse chronological order and include interviews. Fuerbringer gave speeches at conferences, universities, and professional associations outside of Time Inc. such as The Annenberg School of Communications, Concordia Theological Seminary, The Dallas Knife and Fork Club, and Suburban Newspaper Publishers Seminar. He also gave speeches at the Time Ad Convention and to Time staff. Interviews include "Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr." on WOR-TV. Also included are some speeches by other Time Inc. staff such as Henry Luce III and Bernard Auer.

Trips includes correspondence, itineraries, and written reports for Fuerbringer's business travel during his roles as assistant managing editor and managing editor for Time. Unrelated to newstours, the purpose of the trips seem to be to observe the social and political climates and included meetings with heads of state, foreign ministers, and prominent business leaders in a similar vein to the newstours.

The Office Files primarily focus on James R. Gaines's tenure as Managing Editor of Time with a limited amount of materials related to his work as a member of the Time Inc. Online Steering Committee. Materials include article and magazine proposals, magazine dummies, quarterly reports on Time Digital, overviews and summaries of meetings, sales and usage reports, market evaluation and strategic assessment reports, budget reports, press releases, and correspondence and memoranda. Subjects discussed include the creation of new products, editorial decisions, magazine launches, project pitches, joint ventures with outside organizations, and staffing changes.

The Audiovisual subseries contains videocassettes, audiocassettes, and one audiotape reel donated to the Time Inc. Archive by Gaines. The subject of many of the tapes is INTV, an unknown abbreviation. Other subjects related to the work that Gaines did as Managing Editor of Time as well as music from "10-10 Wins," a radio show produced by CBS radio.

Unreformatted audiovisual material in the collection is not accessible.

Correspondence and Memoranda include lists of correspondents' locations; internal and external correspondence to Jamieson's assistant Elizabeth Waite; reports on story and page counts; memoranda from Corporate Editorial; memoranda to staff from Jamieson or Time Inc. executives; errors reports; Time staff changes; masthead changes; corporate and editorial policies; meeting agendas; some Time Letters reports; some polls and reports from Louis Harris. The 1960s contain some material from James Keough who was also an Executive Editor but left Time Inc. in 1968 to be an aide to Nixon. Corporate Memos includes information on employee benefits; shareholder reports; staff events; and staff changes. Memoranda to specific people at Time include Managing Editor Henry Grunwald, Assistant Managing Editor and Time Life News Service Chief Murray Gart, Production Directors Don Barr and Hub Smith, and Assistant Business Manager Harriet Watt. Some months or years of correspondence are not present.

Subject Files covering decisions made by Jamieson and his office on editorial areas such as overseeing content close dates within production scheduling, masthead changes, choosing the Man of the Year, cover choices and scheduling, tracking newsstand sales and comparisons with Newsweek, specific stories in various sections, political convention coverage, and daily office concerns.
