The Seattle-Kobe Affiliation Committee Public Relations Records date from 1957 to 1964 and contain quarterly reports, correspondence, memoranda, meeting notices, committee directories, newspaper clippings, and photographs illustrating the programs, projects, and activities of the committee and the relationship between residents of Seattle and Kobe. Reports, correspondence, and clippings discuss committee activities, special events, student exchange programs, visits from Japanese royalty, political leaders, and other dignitaries, and information about donations and gifts exchanged between the cities. Cultural events, such as showings of Japanese films, an exhibit of Japanese art at the Seattle Art Museum, and the Seattle visit of the Kobe High School choral group (as well as the Ingraham High School Choir's visit to Japan in the following year) are also documented in committee materials and newspaper clippings. Materials comprising an overview of the Seattle-Kobe Sister City relationship, as well as information on the city of Kobe itself, are included in the collection.

The public relations records were maintained by Jeanne Smith, public relations director for the committee.
