The Mark Sandrich papers span the years 1924-1994 (bulk 1926-1945) and encompass 7.8 linear feet. The collection contains a variety of film-related production material, scripts, and clippings. There is some script material for television and some miscellaneous story material by Sandrich and others. There are Paramount and RKO studio memos, government-issued production material from World War II, and extensive correspondence with Irving Berlin. A scrapbook containing clippings, correspondence, and programs within its several hundred pages was dismantled.
