The papers of Casimir A. Burczyk are divided into two series: Papers and Photographs.
Papers (1946) contain assorted military documents relating to Burczyk's military career. Discharge forms give the details of his service and undated reminiscences provide some brief narrative to complement them. A photocopied map of the Pacific Ocean along with a brief key shows several stations that Burczyk stopped at along the way to Iwo Jima in 1945.
Photographs (1945-1946) consists entirely of pictures taken during Burczyk's time in the South Pacific May 1945 through April 1946. There are many pictures of the planes that he worked with including almost twenty shots of unique nose art painted on the aircraft. Over 100 scenery shots show the military base that built up on Iwo Jima following American occupation. Buildings, equipment, vehicles, and cemeteries are all shown, though the vast majority are unidentified. Photos of military personnel are almost entirely unidentified and most show men either posing or relaxing. One group of pictures depicts a basketball game. There are also pictures of island natives in traditional costume. Photos of Burczyk in uniform and at ease on Iwo Jima are also included. The photographs are of a high quality and give a good idea of the military establishment on Iwo Jima, but their lack of identification limits their overall usefulness.
