E.R. Noderer (1907-1996) was a Chicago Tribune foreign correspondent from 1939 to 1950; a general assignment reporter in Chicago from 1950 to 1952; editorial page editor and writer for the Washington Times-Herald from 1952 to 1954; and a member of the promotion and publicity department of the Chicago Tribune until his retirement in 1972. This collection stems from his years of travel as a foreign correspondent and includes travel credentials, documents, letters, cables, drafts of stories and articles, manuscript journals, photographs and a scrapbook of articles. Historical events covered include World War II, and the partition of Palestine and creation of Israel in 1948. The correspondence and journals reveal the daily lives of Noderer and fellow correspondents during various events in World War II and its political aftermath in the Middle East.
