FRAZ/35 consists of eight boxes of notebooks previously housed apart from the rest of the Frazer Papers. Eleven volumes were housed on Trinity College Library shelves with printed books. Thirteen volumes and a small number of loose notes were removed from the Papers at the time they were bequeathed by Lady Frazer, and were presented by the College to the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology and then transferred to the Haddon Library of Archaeology and Anthropology. In 2010 these volumes were transferred back to Trinity College. A note has been made recording the previous location of each volume.

The notebooks contain notes on books read; drafts of articles, speeches, and introductions; and bibliographical references to be added to later editions of works. They have been arranged in a rough chronological order, according to the date of the publication of the works where applicable, and roughly span the dates 1880-1939. The early notebooks include one evidently from Frazer's study of the law, 'Maine's Ancient Law, Jurisprudence' (Item 2). Three notebooks relate to the second and third editions of 'The Golden Bough' (Items 9-11). The loose notes included with the notebooks arriving back from the Haddon Library are on Vitruvius and on items at the Pitt Rivers Collection at Oxford (Item 5).
