Papers, mainly 1938-1999, of Alvin Steinkopf, an Associated Press (AP) correspondent, documenting his work in Berlin, Poland, and Russia, 1938-1942, and in post-World War II Britain, as well as papers of his wife, Irene Steinkopf, also a journalist. The career papers include printed and draft news stories and photography of news events in Poland and Smolensk, 1940-1941. There are frequent letters exchanged while the couple lived apart during the early war years. The correspondence includes only limited contacts with AP executives, although there are exchanges chiefly of a social nature with Louis Lochner, Glen Stadler, and Clifton M. Utley. Other papers document World War II internment at Bad Nauheim and military service during World War I. Irene's papers include diaries and Chicago radio station WJJD scripts about the role of women during World War II. In addition to his wartime photography in Poland and Russia, Steinkopf photographed Queen Elizabeth's visit to Nigeria in 1956, as well as the couple's life and associates in Milwaukee, Vienna, Prague, Sarajevo, London, and their European vacations.
