The archive, founded by the predecessor of the Syndicate of Journalists of the Czech Republic, is an extremely valuable collection of documents resulting from the activities of individual journalistic clubs, associations and organizations. The membership records include the files of members of journalistic organizations who were of Jewish origin or who were later persecuted for being Jewish. The fonds also includes the small estates of several journalists of Jewish origin: František Bauer (7 September 1897, Turnov - 1 October 1967, Prague), Oskar Butter (25 January 1886, Rohozec u Podbořany - 17 January 1943, Auschwitz) and Alfred Fuchs (23 June 1892, Prague - 16 February 1941, Dachau).
The documents stored in the fonds have been sorted according to the individual journalistic societies, clubs, associations and organizations and these have been arranged chronologically according to the date of their creation. The structure of the individual parts of the fonds is based on the surviving material. The most frequent items are minutes of meetings of various associations, correspondence and activity material. At the end of the fonds are included the documentation and personal papers of some important journalists, containing mainly personal documents, correspondence and manuscripts of articles. No archival finding aid has yet been made for the fonds.
