Digby Wolfe’s papers primarily document his writing and teaching career. The collection is organized in 5 series:
Personal/Biographical contains contracts, diaries, photographs, and tributes.
Writings include drafts of screen plays and scripts, film treatments, production proposals, critiques, music and lyrics. Occasionally, these files contain related materials, but most often, these are strictly Digby Wolfe’s writings. Scripts for "Amos ‘n’ Andy," "All in the Family," a Johnny Carson special, and Jackie Mason are noteworthy.
Projects consist of ideas, notes, research, press (clippings, reviews), scripts written by others but involving Wolfe, proposals, and research. Files relating to "Laugh-In" include reviews and reaction, censor’s notes, and legal documents. Other noteworthy projects relate to Ernie Ford and Bill Cosby.
