The fonds consists primarily of drafts of numerous radio plays and television screen plays written by Cohen. The collection also contains significant correspondence (personal and business), reviews, and related material over a period of thirty years. Two scrapbooks containing newspaper clippings on the life and career of Cohen, as well as production photographs are also included.

This accural consists of three screenplays by Max Charles Cohen: a typescript of "The Hanging Clown", story by Bill Manhoff and screenplay by Cohen; and two copies, one handwritten and one typed, of "The True Bleeding Heart of Martin B.", story and screenplay by Cohen.
