The Fritz Weinman Papers document the life of Jewish German emigre, Fritz (Fred) Weinman and his family through correspondence, vital documents, photographs, newspaper clippings, and ephemera. The archival materials document his efforts to leave Nazi Germany and aspects of the places he lived before ultimately settling in the Pacific Palisades. Several documents also record property lost by his family and efforts to receive restitution. His last name is sometimes spelled "Weinmann." The collection is arranged into three series: Family History (1928-1997), Biographical (1860-2001), and Correspondence (1939-1975).

Series I, Family History, includes bank receipts, vital records, correspondence, clippings, and notes related to the lives of Fritz Weinman's family members. These include his mother Adele, brother Bruno and his wife Elizabeth, sister Edith Weinmann Dittman, sister Gerde (Gerda) Weinmann Goedhart, brother Kurt, grandfather Samuel Weinmann, and other family members. The series is arranged alphabetically by family member name.

Series II, Biographical, contains documents, research, photographs, and writing related to Fritz Weinman. This series is divided into two subseries.

Subseries A, Weinman, Fritz, includes vital records, documents, and photographs recording Weinman's life and journey across Europe, Mexico, and ultimately to the United States. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by country or by individual's name, and then chronologically within.

Subseries B, Weinman-Roberts, Dr. Lois, includes historian Dr. Lois (Barbara Johnson) Weinman-Robert's biographical research and writing.

Series III, Correspondence, contains letters and a telegram written to Fritz Weinman and his family, primarily from friends and associates. The series is arranged alphabetically by name of correspondent when the writer is known.
