The collection is comprised of material formerly classed as Uncat ZA Langner and MS Vault Shelves Shaw. Additional Langner papers were identified in the Eugene O'Neill Papers (YCAL MSS 123) the Theatre Guild Archive (YCAL MSS 436) and material classed as MS Vault Shelves Shaw during the processing of those papers. These materials have not been merged and organized as a whole, but are described separately in the contents list below, according to the source of acquisition.
Information included in the Description of Papers note and Collection Contents section is drawn from information supplied with the collection and from an initial survey of the contents. Folder titles appearing in the contents list below are often based on those provided by the creator or previous custodian.
