The biographical and clippings files give a good overview of his life and accomplishments. His personal correspondence reflects his broad international influences and formative years in Europe. These files hold letters from the journalist Henri Pierre; journalist and academic Elie Abel; poet Louis Dudek; poet and artist Eldon Grier; author Albert Maltz; scientist Michael Brett Crowther; author Norman Mackenzie; science writer Lord Ritchie-Calder; human rights activist Martin Ennals; author Jay Deiss; Director of the World Health Organization, Joseph Handler; artist Cook Glassgold; writer and editor David Leff; political scientist Khayyam Z. Paltiel; sculptor Morley Troman and many others. Files relating to his studies at the New School for Social Research contain correspondence with the scholars Max Ascoli and Riccardo Bauer. They also include his unpublished thesis, "The French Communist Party under the Third Republic". In addition, there are 16 photocopies or printed scans of portraits of Steinhouse, taken in Egypt, Germany, France, and Canada, including some in air force uniform or on journalism assignment, from 1944 to 1982.
