The collection contains many of Philip Hart Dunning's personal scripts which include play, radio, TV, and film scripts, one novel, and a few short stories. While the collection represents a large portion of his work, it is by no means complete. A small amount of related material such as preliminary notes, correspondence, contracts, clippings, etc. is included in the collection and filed according to play title with the script. In cases where there is no script, a title is represented only by a synopsis. The collection comprises 94 titles in all, including some associated items, at least one of which is dated after Dunning's death. In a few cases there is more than one version of a given title. Many of the scripts are original typescripts, however, most are copies, and most have annotations.
