The collection includes clippings from American newspapers in English, French, and German, collected by the British Library of Information in New York City. The clippings focus on American sentiment towards Great Britain and the British Empire in 1920-1921.

The British Library of Information was a branch of the British Foreign Office News Department created in 1919 to improve relations between the United States and Great Britain. This was done in two ways: firstly, by dispensing officially approved information about Britain's domestic, imperial, and foreign affairs through the Library's reading room in New York city; and secondly, by monitoring American public opinion through newspaper clippings, which were collected and sent to the Foreign Office.
