This section does not include lectures given as part of courses at Cambridge University which are found in section D9. The surviving materials in this class vary from complete texts to notes and precis and, in the latter period, overhead projector slides.

This collection contains papers relating to the Johnson, Donne, Kemble, and Powys families, and other related families and individuals.

The archive comprises Jebb's 'Servanda': scrapbooks of material 'to be kept'. Press clippings, correspondence, printed parliamentary and academic material, ephemera and so on are pasted in to numbered pages, sometimes with MS annotations by Jebb; loose material, such as correspondence, is interleaved. The first volumes are disbound and have been weeded, with remaining pages preserved in paper wrappings within 'transfer cases'.

Transfer case 1 contains papers from 'Servanda' scrapbooks I (Jul 1876-Nov 1879, with loose letter from 1874), II (Jan 1880–Nov 1881) and III (Nov 1881-Apr 1883); separate gatherings in paper covers also seem to have come from this volume: Nov 1881, ‘Mahuffy v R.C.J. (scant contents)’, ‘R.C.J.’s Life of Bentley’, 1882; ‘Controversy with Sayce, 1881-1882’; Transfer case 2 contains papers from 'Servanda' scrapbooks IV (Nov 1883-Jun 1884) and V; Transfer case 3 contains much loose material and scrapbook pages, presumably from 'Servanda' VI and VII, as well as papers from 'Servanda' VIII (1889).

The intact 'Servanda' volumes cover the following dates: IX, Mar 1890-Oct 1891; X, Oct 1891-Oct 1893; XI, Oct 1893-Aug 1894; XIA, 1894-Jun 1896; XII, Sept 1894-Nov 1896; XIII, Nov 1896-Jul 1898; XIV, Jul 1898-Jul 1899; XV, Jul 1899-May 1900; XVI, Jun 1900-Mar 1902; XVII, Mar 1902-Jul 1903.

There are also two bound volumes both labelled 'Newspaper Cuttings', one containing similar material to that contained in the 'Servanda' scrapbooks from 1903-1905, the other containing press cuttings relating to Jebb's death, letters regarding this mainly to Lady Jebb, material relating to Jebb's funeral service, and reviews of his edition of Bacchylides (1905-1906).

Jeans' papers include: school reports and juvenilia; diaries; personal and family correspondence; scrapbooks and albums; portrait photographs; and legal and financial material. There are notebooks containing scientific work; lectures; accounts and correspondence relating to publications; printed proofs; astronomical photographs; and scientific correspondence.

There is also material relating to Jeans' sister Gertrude, his first wife Charly (née Mitchell), daughter Olivia, and second wife Susi (née Hock).

The Henry Jackson papers include notes for lectures, correspondence files and a scrapbook.

These papers form a series within the additional manuscripts and are catalogued as Add.MS.a.289-290, Add.Ms.b.75-76, Add.Ms.b.80-88, Add.Ms.c.24-47a, and Add.MS.d.73.

Non-textual material is arranged as follows:
1-82: Photographic films (1937-1963)
83-104: Photographic slides (1939-1951)
105-118: Photographic prints (1971-1972)
119-121: Out-size material (various dates)

The main sequence of correspondence (J.1 - J.124) is presented alphabetically, dated, and with an indication of any material of particular scientific or biographical interest. Most of the correspondence is with individuals, but some societies and organisations are also included.

There are few very substantial exchanges and it is clear that there are considerable gaps in the material; in particular there is very little early correspondence on electron diffraction, and the only letter in the collection from J.J. Thomson is at C.3.

J.125 - J.134 consists of shorter correspondence, mostly unindexed.

The correspondence in this section is presented as follows:

J/1-J/341: Alphabetical by correspondent, 1927-1994.
J/342-J/412: Shorter scientific correspondence, 1936-1993. Presented in chronological order; indexed.
J/413-J/422: Requests for off-prints, 1940-1990. Presented in alphabetical order; not indexed.
J/423-J/443: References and recommendations, 1948-1985 and undated. Further subdivided as follows:
J/423-J/424: Grants and funding, 1948-1976
J/425-J/430: Higher degrees, 1950-1980
J/431-J/435: Royal Society, 1951-1985

Note that some recommendations etc appear in the files of correspondence arranged alphabetically by correspondent, J/1-J/341.

Chambercombe Park Terrace, Ilfracombe, N. Devon; addressed to Hall at The Vicarage, Barton Turf, Norwich, Norfolk. - Will be pleased to accept 10 shillings for the autograph book; thinks it must have been the work of her grandmother or great aunt. Hall mentions the Paston family: her own ancestors of that name came from Beaudesert, Warwickshire, and she does not know of anything connecting them with the family of the same name from Norfolk. Wishes her father, who had a 'head for heraldry', was alive to 'chat with' Hall.
