The papers consist of correspondence, diaries, subject files, writings, other Whewell papers, family papers, and later papers of others. The family papers include those originally gathered by Whewell's first wife Cordelia (née Marshall) and his second wife Lady Affleck (née Ellis). The papers of Lady Affleck's brother and Whewell's friend Robert Leslie Ellis now form a subset of this collection. The collection is further described in the System of arrangement field below, and materials received by gift and by purchase are described in the Related units of description field below.

The second of five boxes arranged A-Z by correspondent.

These boxes of miscellaneous papers includes six travel diaries kept by Whewell, two notebooks kept by Robert Leslie Ellis, and a cash book kept by Whewell as Vice-Chancellor from Nov. 1842 to Nov. 1843. The other letters are a miscellaneous grouping and include some letters written by Whewell. The franks are part of a larger collection gathered by Cordelia Whewell, which may be found at Add.MS.a.77/5-125 and 273-323. Her autograph collection is housed as Add.MS.c.65-66.

This box contains a miscellaneous grouping of material, some gathered by William Whewell, some by Cordelia Whewell and retained by William after her death, and some material gathered after William's death by his executor James L. Hammond.

The 47 letters from Julius Charles Hare to William Whewell date from 1822-1850 (Items 126-162).

The collection of franks of bishops and peers (Items 5-125, and 273-323) appears to have been created by Cordelia Whewell. Another part of this frank collection is housed as Add.MS.a.80/163-238. Cordelia also gathered a collection of autographs (housed as Add.MS.c.65-66).

The letters to James Hammond from Ann Newton, William Whewell's sister, are dated after William's death and concern his papers and the preparation of a biography (Items 163- 172, 174-206). The other letters to Hammond are in response to his appeal for letters from Whewell for use in a biography (Items 207-272) and are written by Whewell's correspondents or by the children or relatives of his correspondents. Some of these letters sent by these people may have been added to the collection elsewhere, and the letters in this box may provide evidence of provenance for these items.
