The papers of Béla Király include personal and professional correspondence, manuscripts, and materials related to two organizations he was involved with, the Hungarian Freedom Fighters and the Program on Society in Change. The papers are from Király's time in the United States (circa 1957 to 1989).

Correspondence with Stern consists of about 200 letters (including picture postcards--one of Stern's preferred modes of communication), starting in 1964 and continuing with fair regularity until 2016. Many of them consist of requests for comments on manuscripts, others touch on issues having to do with Columbia, still others provide advice to his correspondent on personal and career matters. Not a few are simply exchanges between friends. Also included in the collection are a number of typed draft manuscripts and of inscribed offprints.
