This includes reprints and annotated copies of Bowman's published articles and books as well as notes and printed material for future revisions of these works. These files also contain correspondence. There is some overlap with Series V Research Notes.

Especially well-represented is his research on "War & Peace." The majority of this material is newspaper clippings (1940-49) with some memoranda and copies of correspondence. This material was probably collected for a book on war and peace or it could have been collected as a result of his work for the Council on Foreign Relations when he was the rapporteur for the Studies of American Interests in the War and the Peace: Territorial Series.

The War & Peace clippings were kept in two series. There are 11 volumes of clipped newspaper articles dating from 1942 to 1948. In a separate series of 7 volumes Bowman saved the text of speeches or documents that appeared in the newspaper. The title of the article, the name of the newspaper in which it appeared, and the date were retained in this series.
