Founding editor of Esquire magazine; collection is a mix of personal papers and business records, biographical information, personal correspondence with or about many of the authors who contributed to the magazine, speeches and photographs.

The Gingrich papers consists of a mixture of personal and office files detailing the management of Esquire magazine and Gingrich's various other interests and activities. The collection, consisting of correspondence, speeches, photographs, and subject files, should be used in conjunction with the files of Esquire Magazine which came to the library at the same time but with a separate deed of gift. The two collections together are indispensable for any study of Esquire, Gingrich's career as a publisher, and the influence of Gingrich on the careers of some of America's most important literary figures of the twentieth century.

Authors-Special

The Authors - Special File consists of materials pulled together by Gingrich most probably because of their special meaning to him. These are his files on F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. The Fitzgerald files cover the years 1934 to 1939 and consist of telegrams, correspondence, and copies of the "Pat Hobb" stories that the author wrote for Esquire. Much of this material is photocopied. The Ernest Hemingway files date from 1933 to 1939 and include correspondence and typed drafts of articles written for Esquire, notably "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." Most of the correspondence is also photocopied, but the drafts of articles are original.
