Series 2 relates to Handler’s professional work as a foreign correspondent, containing correspondence to his New York Times colleagues, press passes, reporter notebooks, research files, and draft writings, and documents pertaining to activities outside of his position at The New York Times.

While Handler was known for his coverage of the rise of Josip "Tito" Broz and Yugoslavia's move away from the Soviet Union, the collection contains only one folder documenting this work. The folder includes a survey of Yugoslavia's mining industry, a profile on Tito, and material related to the Belgrade bureau office of the Times.
