The first of two boxes of an autograph collection begun by Cordelia Whewell, and continued after her death, possibly by Lady Affleck, and William Whewell's executors.

Most of the autographs date from the 18th and 19th century, but there is one 16th century letter from William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley to Sir Robert Petre (item 18) and four other 17th century letters and documents, including a letter from William Cecil, Viscount Cranborne to his father the Earl of Salisbury in 1607 (Add.MS.c.66/38). A group of eight letters from French statesmen dating from the 1660s and 1670s (items 2, 29, 33, 98, 104, 110 and Add.MS.c.66/39-40) are accompanied by an undated letter from Louis XIV (item 108).

There is some evidence of the different stages of the collection, with what may have formed the nucleus of the original collection, letters written to Cordelia's parents Mr and Mrs John Marshall, many of them replies to invitations. More concerted collecting efforts are evidenced in letters from E. M. James (Items 84-85) and R. V. Swaine (Add.MS.c.66/59) to Cordelia, which originally enclosed autographs for the collection; these are linked to the letters listed therein. The collection was added to after Cordelia's death: letters postdate her death in 1855, and there are a number of Ellis family letters and documents, which may have been added by Lady Affleck (née Ellis). These include a copy of the codicil to the will of Henry Ellis, dated 10 June 1774 (Item 44). A letter written eight years after William Whewell's death by his executor J. L. Hammond (Item 68) encloses autographs for the 'College Collection' but they are neither enclosed with the letter nor elsewhere in this collection.

The second of two boxes of an autograph collection begun by Cordelia Whewell, and continued after her death, possibly by Lady Affleck, and William Whewell's executors.. The collection is described in the record for the first box, Add.MS.c.65. In this box, items 78 and 81 were found to be missing when the collection was re-catalogued in Nov. 1971.

Includes 30 letters to William Aldis Wright, and one letter written by him. Eight letters are addressed to William Whewell.

Letters acquired from different sources, some of them by gift and purchase. Other letters appear to have been removed from books in the printed collections, as the authors or recipients match book collections to be found there. The original books in which the letters were found, however, is not always recorded.

A group of papers which appear to be centred around the Dunn Gardner family of Chatteris, near Ely, with letters from extended Johnston and Hake family members, and writings related to them, with two notebooks and loose notes and schoolwork by Marriott Gardner, who died while a student at Trinity College in 1781.

With note from 'H.O.E' addressed to 'Adams', giving an opinion on the document.

The work referred to on the label is J. O. Halliwell’s Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words, first published in 1847. The papers in Add. MS b. 74/5–6 may have been collected for the purpose of improving that work.

Fourteen music books with connections to Trinity College chapel, five of them remnants from two sets: items 2-4 and 6-7. Seven of them are for single voice parts: treble, alto, and bass. There are six organ books and a score. Anthems predominate, although item 8 contains only services, and four of the organ books have anthems at the front and services at the back. They appear to have been in use for a considerable period, as seen in item 6, which was begun in the 1730s but was still in use in 1814.
