The material is divided into two sections
D.1 - D.28 Nuclear physics and the MAUD Committee
These papers include some of Thomson's early research notes on experiments with neutrons and one folder of calculations re uranium (D.8) as well as copies of the MAUD Committee reports of July 1940, various notes of meetings and some correspondence, both contemporary and later.

D.29 - D.78 Second World War: other activities
The documentation for this period is sparse. There is very little in the way of correspondence, and less to illustrate Thomson's daily activities, with the exception of the visits he made to various establishments in Canada and the U.S.A. during his time at Ottawa as Scientific Liaison Officer between Britain and Canada. Most of these papers are accounts of meetings and visits in Canada and U.S.A. but there is also some correspondence. This series of ms. and typescript reports is to be found at D.35 - D.59. D.66 - 72 relate to Thomson's work on the Radio Board. D.73 - 76 relate to his position of Scientific Adviser to the Air Ministry

This series consists of drafts of scripts, correspondence, contracts and receipts related to Frisch's work in radio, television, and film.
As with the material in Series C, the talks, etc. for which scripts survive and which are listed at D.1-38 are only a small proportion of Frisch's contribution to radio; the folders of correspondence, contracts or receipts at D.39-43 give a fuller impression of his substantial contribution as a broadcaster.

D.1-43 consists of drafts of scripts and related correspondence for BBC Radio and is arranged chronologically, save for the shorter correspondence groups found at D.39-43. A related group may be found at D.61-62; these are part of the supplemental papers added to the papers after cataloguing by Ulla Frisch. The scripts and related correspondence at D.44-50 Television Companies (U.K.) and D.51-54 Radio and Television (Europe) are arranged alphabetically by company within each section. The correspondence and papers for the films at D.55-59 are arranged chronologically.

The material in this section is very slight. It consists of a few research notes, 1899-1920 and n.d., and photographs from the period 1893-1934.

Davenport published nearly 200 papers and three books. Most of the material in this series consists of drafts of the published papers, frequently without any other material such as notes or calculations.

The series incorporates material of other kinds, such as the Adams Prize Essay (D.5-15), the books The higher arithmetic (D.89-92) and Multiplicative number theory (D.170-182), reviews by Davenport (D.208), and some unpublished material, such as 'On writing mathematical papers' (D.201-203).

The Adams Prize Essay materials include material published in various papers, 1938-1946 (including D.2-4), and consists of early drafts of certain chapters (D.5-6), the whole text, probably as submitted to the judges (D.8-14) and a little correspondence.

Material published after Davenport's death can be found at D.204-207, and his 'collected works' are represented at D.210-213.

The material has been arranged in chronological order, and where applicable the Bibliography number of the Royal Society Memoir (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 17, 1971) has been given, as well as the date of publication.

George Gery Milner-Gibson-Cullum's collection of autographs. The correspondence of Cullum's parents with notable contemporaries provided the core of the collection, but he amassed autographs from far beyond this sphere. The collection includes many examples from the royal and noble houses of Europe, of European politicians and Presidents of the USA, of Popes and senior members of the Church and of actors, authors, writers and composers.

The collection includes manuscripts in various European languages, dating from the sixteenth century to the twentieth. Most of them are, broadly speaking, of a literary, historical, or religious nature, but it is not easy to summarise the range of subjects they cover. They include, for instance, from the seventeenth century, notarial instruments in French relating to Charlotte de Beaune, an English translation of Den Spegel der Gherechticheit by Hendrik Niclaes of the so-called ‘Family of Love’, and a collection of English court poetry; from the eighteenth, papers on British trade, literary copyright, notorious criminals, and the French revolution; and from the nineteenth, a collection of papers and prints relating to the history of ballooning, items collected by Richard Burton on his travels, and a series of volumes recording the transactions of the Philobiblon Society.

The collection contains early publications, 1898-1918; notebooks and sketchbooks, 1899-[1930]; correspondence, 1877-1921; Memorials/obituaries, 1843 and papers relating to Bertrand Russell and Trinity, 1919-1986. The collection also contains papers relating to John Cornford.

The collection includes letters written by Clifford to friends and relatives, notebooks kept by him, and various items relating to his lectures and writings, including manuscript drafts, proofs, printed syllabuses, and pamphlets. There are also some photographs. The items added after Clifford’s death include correspondence about him, obituaries, reviews of posthumous publications, and papers relating to the public testimonial organised in his name.

This small collection contains: MS volumes with notes on classical subjects, particularly Aristophanes, and historical subjects; the beginning of a work on travels in Africa, and a journal of a visit to Mount Athos; a library catalogue; a manuscript book of verses.

The papers consist of correspondence, printed material, writings, personal papers, and photographs documenting the English life of Erskine Childers.

The collection includes letters from a variety of other correspondents, among them Edward Arnold, Julian Corbett, Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry James, William James, Lord Kitchener, J. Ellis McTaggart, Walter Runciman, George Bernard Shaw (to Emily Ford), and G. M. Trevelyan.
