- Harold Hayes, a 1948 graduate of Wake Forest College, is perhaps best known for his role as editor of Esquire magazine (1963 to 1973). He later authored two books on ecological issues and worked on several television projects. In 1987, Hayes wrote an article on Dian Fossey for magazine, which was the basis for the 1988 film . He had nearly completed an expanded version of the article when he died of cancer at age 62. This collection consists of Harold Hayes's personal papers and other materials dating from his high school and college years through the posthumous publication of his last book. There is considerable material on Hayes's work at magazine, both in the series and in the personal correspondence. Post- projects are also well-documented, particulary Hayes's book projects, his editorship of magazine, and his brief tenure with the CBS news program 20/20. The Dian Fossey series contains extensive material on Fossey's life and work, including many interviews with her friends and associates.
