Included are correspondence, financial records, technical production files, promotion and publicity files, distribution planning papers and records of gross receipts, scripts and screenplays, and newsclippings.

Files concerning unproduced motion pictures contain mainly scripts, in some cases with little additional information. There is also a series concerning television appearances by Kirk Douglas, and three television specials or series produced or planned by Bryna Productions, Tales of the Vikings, Indian Fighter, and Spartacus. For the latter three items there are correspondence, financial records, production and promotional files, and scripts for specific episodes. Regarding Douglas's personal appearances there generally is correspondence and a script. Among the more recent productions represented is The Moneychangers, a television movie. Other files in the collection contain scripts and correspondence regarding plays and radio broadcasts by Kirk Douglas. There are scripts of radio adaptations of two of Douglas's films, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers and The Champion, as well as scripts of plays perhaps considered by Douglas for production.
