Additions, 1944-1976, of reports and other writings, research, correspondence, memos and photographs, of a journalist and special assistant to the publishers of Time magazine. Of note are the files pertaining to Behind the Urals (1943), which document his experiences as a worker in the Soviet steel factory at Magnitogorsk in the 1930s.

The Office files contain mostly correspondence and memos. The largest portion of this collection is under the General files heading, and consists of background material and other research on varied topics; briefing books, and scrapbooks from Scott's travels. The three folders of photographs depict Scott himself at events and in portraits. The remaining files contain Scott's writings in various stages of draft, including reports for Time and one box of manuscripts.
