The Charles Lederer Papers contain drafts of various screenplays, revisions, and notes from selected produced, and unproduced, projects from Lederer's career between 1949 and 1964. This collection is separated into three series, with each respective title/project acting as a subseries (when necessary).

The Charles Lederer Papers consist of scripts, synopses, and notes for a selection of Lederer's produced and unproduced works from 1949-1964. Housed in two records center boxes, this collection contains records from many of Lederer's projects; however, it does not contain references to all of his projects within the aforementioned timeframe. Notable ommissions include, but are not limited to: "The Thing from Another World" (dir. Christian Nyby and Howard Hawls, 1951), "Gentlement Prefer Blondes" (dir. Howard Hawks, 1953), and the Tony Award-winning musical Kismet. For specific inclusions, refer to the Container List. There are three series within this collection: "Produced/Published", "Unproduced/Unpublished", and "Miscellaneous". The first two series contain relevant subseries based on specific projects, further elaborated on in the respective Series-level notes.

The Liz Manne Papers consists of material collected throughout Manne's ongoing career in the US film industry, specifically through her work with Fine Line Features, the Sundance Channel, and Duopoly (the venture she co-founded with Catherine Tait in 2002). This collection is separated and sequenced into relevant series and subseries based on the organization from which they originate and then further specified by project.

Spanning approximately five linear feet, the Liz Manne Papers feature material from 1991 through 2016, with a majority of records coming from 1995 to 2005. This collection is reflective of Liz Manne's expansive career as an executive in film marketing with a focus on her work in independent films from Fine Line Features, the Sundance Channel, and Duopoly.
