The Making of Modern Atlanta files, 2011-2012, include interview transcripts and paperwork related to the project concerning Andrew Young. The material was utilized in a book co-written by Newman with Andrea Young and Ambassador Andrew Young (Andrew Young and the Making of Modern Atlanta, 2016) and a two-part documentary film (Andrew Young's Making of Modern Atlanta, 2016). The interviews, with political and civic leaders, concern the modernization of Atlanta in the late 20th century.
