Papers, mainly 1936-1955, of Robert G. Nixon, a journalist and writer who worked for the International News Service (INS) from 1930 to 1956 and thereafter worked in the public relations field. Included are a copy of an oral history interview conducted for the Truman Library, a brief personal memoir about his experiences as a war correspondent during the Battle of Britain, expense statements, memorabilia, fragmentary correspondence, public relations products, biographical photographs, and writings. The collection primarily consists of printed and draft news stories and notes chiefly pertaining to his coverage of World War II military events in Europe and North Africa, 1939-1943, the Casablanca and Potsdam conferences, and the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. A few items relate to Merrill Mueller and other INS journalists. Nixon's free-lance writing is represented by unpublished books ghost written for Floyd Dominy, commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation; Congressman Michael Kirwan; and General Harry Vaughan; and by a few fiction and non-fiction items. Public relations work includes a large file of press releases, brochures, and other printed items prepared for the National Council for Industrial Peace and a program prepared for the government of Iran.
