Charles H. Warner Jr. was a New York-based architect active from the 1940s through the 1990s. Warner designed many buildings on college campuses in the United States and abroad. Additionally, Warner built many hotels, working extensively with Hilton Hotels to build new establishments all over the world. His work in foreign countries underscores his core architectural principle of designing "in context," or incorporating local culture and tradition into his buildings. Some of his more well-known hotel projects include the Ramses Hilton in Cairo and the Caribe Hilton in San Juan.

Marxist Perspectives was an academic journal that analyzed society and history using a Marxist intellectual framework and featured the work of prominent left-wing academics and thinkers. The collection includes a full run of the journal (1978-1980), correspondence, annotated articles, documentation regarding fundraising, the journal's internal newsletter, and media coverage from other publications. The correspondence documents debates about articles, editorial decisions, submissions, funding, and organizational structure. The collection also contains materials documenting the earlier activism of collaborators, including documentation of the Committee on Free Speech which defended Rutgers University professor Eugene Genovese (later the editor of Marxist Perspectives) after he made controversial statements about the Viet Nam War.
