Most of the press clippings found within the collection were submitted to the Foundation's Office of Communications by press clipping service providers Burrelle's Information Services and Luce Press Clippings in the 1990s and early 2000s.

The collection contains publications originally held in the Ford Foundation's library and archives. The subject matter of the materials reflects the work of the Foundation, the Fund for Adult Education, and the Fund for the Advancement of Education.
