Jack Conroy’s personal collection of magazines consists of numerous leftist, labor, and literary magazines, some only in a few issues, dating mainly from the 1930’s and 1940’s. Most focus on the issues of political injustice, labor movements, discrimination and racism. Accumulated by Conroy over the years, titles with numerous issues include the Berkeley Barb, Common Sense, International Literature, New Masses, Health and Hygiene, In Fact, Modern Monthly, Pacific Weekly, Partisan Review, Poetry Northwest, The Tramp, Windsor Quarterly, and Wormwood Review. The collection also includes literary magazines that Conroy edited, such as The Anvil, The Rebel Poet and The New Anvil. This list also notes missing issues and the presence of works by and about Conroy.

Titles in the collection that duplicate Newberry Library holdings have been removed if they do not contain material by or about Conroy. See the Conroy Accession File for details.
