Series 6, News Clippings, 1927-1954, is arranged alphabetically by subject, and details famous cases in which Hays was involved (Scopes, Sacco and Vanzetti, Scottsboro, and others). These clippings are taken from several different media sources, many of which were compiled in scrapbooks by Hays or his staff. The material often features reporting that compares Hays to other contemporary commentators.

Series 8, Photos, 1925-1935, arranged topically includes photographs of Hays, and people and places related to certain cases in which he was involved, including the Scopes Trial.
