This series contains Gitlin's personal and family correspondence, mostly incoming, in the form of letters, cards, and emails. Some professional correspondence is also included, though correspondence related to articles and book publishing can also be found in Series II. Notable correspondents include Kathy Boudin, Sidney Blumenthal, Tom Hayden, Marshall Berman, Staughton Lynd, David Riesman, and Stuart Hall. Family correspondents include his sister (Judy Gitlin), his parents, and his romantic partner from roughly 1982 to 1992, the historian Ruth Rosen. Correspondence is largely organized by date, though in some cases by correspondent.
