Among his notable correspondents were Edgar G. Doudna, Paul Douglas, F. Ryan Duffy, Merlin Hull, Hubert Humphrey, Warren P. Knowles, Robert M. La Follette, Jr., Gaylord Nelson, and William Proxmire. Several series of letters from friends or scholars describe conditions abroad: Japan, 1945-1955, discussed by Justin Williams, an advisor on the U.S. Army occupation staff; the Near East, 1951-1953, viewed by a nephew, Earl J. Wyman, on the staff of the Arabian-American Oil Company; and Burma, 1953-1955, described by Carlton Ames, a student on a research project there.
The remainder of the collection is composed mainly of copies or drafts of Wyman's books, articles, addresses, and book reviews. One box of miscellaneous papers includes records of the Pierce County Fish and Game Association, 1938-1942, records of the River Falls State Teachers College International Relations Club, 1947-1951, and papers pertaining to the graduate study program for teachers.

Houses and other buildings -- including the bell tower of the Catholic school, finished in 1907 -- can be seen on the hillside on the other side of the river. The bridge was meant for wagon traffic, so the photograph was probably taken in the early 1900s. Unused.
