The Correspondence series (1 linear foot and 12.0 GB, 1943-2012) includes both original and digitized versions of documents and is divided into three subseries: Family correspondence, Personal correspondence, and Research correspondence. Family correspondence contains letters and related materials sent or received by Lawrence Witt's mother, Gladys Collins. The bulk of the correspondence was sent by Witt himself, and much of that from when he was a prisoner of war (POW) in Germany. Also included are notifications sent by the Department of War about Witt's status, a few notes or letters to Witt, and related materials such as newspaper clippings. Personal correspondence primarily consists of letters sent between Lawrence Witt and his future wife, Lois Davis, but also includes a few letters from other friends and acquaintances. The bulk of this subseries was sent following the end of the war. The Research correspondence subseries contains letters related to Laura Edge's research on her father's and other airmen's experiences as prisoners of war in Germany during World War II.

The Collected materials series (0.5 linear feet and 14.8 GB, 1943-2010) includes originals, photocopies, and digitized versions of documents and is divided into three subseries: Military documents, Stalag Luft IV documents, and Miscellaneous.

These include discharge papers, medical records documenting the physical and psychological implications of Witt's war experiences, certificates and diplomas, and other documents as well as copies of official military records that Edge requested as research materials. The Stalag Luft IV documents subseries consists of diagrams, notes, photographs, and printed materials related to the Stalag Luft IV prisoner of war camp. The Miscellaneous subseries includes the transcript of a serviceman John Anderson's diary, Witt's life story used at his funeral, and notes from interviews of Witt's crewmates.
