Part I
Part I of the Brzezinski Papers spans the years 1941-2002, with the bulk of material dating from 1952 to 2002.

Zbigniew Brzezinski Papers 7
Part I is arranged in nine series: General Correspondence, Carter Administration, Speeches and Events, Writings, SubjectFile, Classified, Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information, and Oversize .
The General Correspondence file consists of letters sent and received by Brzezinski from 1952 until 1977 and covers hiscareer at Harvard University, Columbia University, the Department of State, and the Trilateral Commission.Correspondents include academic colleagues, political figures, government officials, business leaders, journalists, andstudents from around the world. Frequent correspondents include Jerzy Giedroyc, William E. Griffith, Hubert H.Humphrey, Henry Kissinger, Jan Nowak, and Henry Owen.
The Carter Administration series begins with material related to Brzezinski's service as principal foreign policy advisor toJimmy Carter's presidential campaign and continues through his service as assistant to the president for national securityaffairs. The files are grouped in sections on the 1976 campaign, the transitional period prior to Carter's inauguration, andthe National Security Council (NSC). Campaign files include internal memoranda from Brzezinski to Carter on foreignpolicy issues, correspondence with foreign policy advisors who prepared briefing papers, Brzezinski's work on speechesand policy papers, briefing books for presidential debates, and press clippings. Transition files contain congratulatorycorrespondence, letters from job seekers, memoranda, and press clippings.
Since most of the files relating to Brzezinski's work with the National Security Council are located at the Jimmy CarterLibrary in Atlanta, Georgia, material contained in the National Security Council section of Brzezinski's own papers consistsmainly of personal correspondence and press files. Press files contain media coverage of Brzezinski and transcripts ofinterviews with Carter and Brzezinski. These files reflect the work of Jerrold L. Schecter and Alfred Friendly (1938- ), whoserved as NSC press spokesman from 1977 to 1980 and 1980 to 1981 respectively. Additional press clippings for thisperiod can be found in personal press files contained in the Subject File . Information about Brzezinski's service as nationalsecurity adviser is also recorded in the appointment books in the Subject File.
The Speeches and Events file documents Brzezinski's speaking engagements, attendance at conferences and meetingsrelating to international affairs, trips throughout the world, and other activities prior to his appointment to the Carteradministration. During speaking engagements, Brzezinski usually spoke from brief notes, although texts of speeches wereoccasionally prepared after the event. Speech notes and texts are placed at the front of files relating to an engagement.Topics of Brzezinski's lectures included United States-Soviet relations, Sino-Soviet relations, the Communist states ofEastern Europe, the dynamics of the Cold War, the trilateral relationship, and America's role in world affairs. Othermaterial in these files includes correspondence, notes on meetings and impressions of countries visited, and conferencepapers.
The series devoted to Brzezinski's writings contains articles, book reviews, book files, columns he wrote for NewsweekInternational and the Japanese newspapers Nihon Keizai Shimbun and Nikkei Shimbun, and his McGill University master'sthesis entitled “Russo-Soviet Nationalism.” The book files comprise the largest section of the series and focus on bookswritten prior to 1977, especially The Soviet Bloc: Unity and Conflict. Article and speech files contain a few of Brzezinski'swritings from later years relating to international affairs in the post-Cold War world.
The Subject File highlights Brzezinski's public policy activities and issues of concern to him. Included are files pertainingto his pursuits in the years following the Carter Administration. The “Trips and Conversations with Heads of State” filefocuses on Brzezinski's travels, mostly to former and current communist countries, from 1989 to 2002, to attendconferences and meet with heads of state and other government officials. In the 1990s Brzezinski served as an unofficialenvoy of the Clinton administration at meetings in China focusing on political conditions, human rights, trade status, anddiplomatic relations. He also met with leaders in the former Soviet states looking to the United States for assistance andsupport. Included in this material are trip diaries, memoranda, notes on meetings, correspondence, background information,press clippings, and photographs. Files on the Ukraine are the most extensive and provide an account of Brzezinski's workas head of the American-Ukrainian Advisory Committee. Also dating from the post-Carter Administration period are copiesof correspondence with American presidents and other heads of state. Letters between Brzezinski and George Bush, BillClinton, and Richard M. Nixon contain substantive discussion of foreign policy issues.

Humphrey in 1968, several Democratic candidates in 1972, andGeorge Bush in 1988.

Trilateral Commission files focus on Brzezinski's workwith this group of business, academic, and political leaders formed to promote cooperation between North America,
