The collection consists of screenplays, literary manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, awards and ephemera. The screenplays, while not consisting of Sonya Levien's total output of seventy films, does cover the entire span of her career. The correspondence does include some personal letters but is mainly business related, including letters relating to the Metropolitan magazine and Carl Hovey as editor and correspondent. There is also material in the collection related to Levien's early involvement with the Sufferage movement, both in America and England, as well as material recounting life in England and surviving the Blitz in World War II.
