This series consists of notebooks, laboratory notes, observations and working papers, drafts for publications, and correspondence. The material is arranged into ten subseries indicating the locations of the various laboratories, institutions and universities at which Frisch worked, in chronological order: Vienna; Berlin; Hamburg; Birkbeck College, London; Copenhagen; Birmingham; Liverpool; Los Alamos; Harwell; and Cambridge. A supplemental subseries has been added consisting of papers given by Ulla Frisch after the main body of papers.

Several of the diaries and notebooks in A.8-32 also contain some scientific information and should be consulted as supplementary sources.

The first two subseries are small: Vienna, B.1-2 and Berlin, B.3-7. For material concerning Frisch's appointment at Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt (PTR), see A.46, Correspondence and papers re arrangements to work with C. Müller.

The third subseries, Hamburg, B.8-42, dates from Frisch's work as assistant to Otto Stern (see What little I remember, pp. 41-56). See F. 123 for Stern's acknowledgement of Frisch's contribution to the work on molecular beams. The outgoing correspondence in B.39 - B.42, as well as B.73 - B.81 dates from 1930 - July 1939. These letters follow Frisch's own chronological order and includes personal and family as well as scientific letters.

The fourth subseries, Birkbeck College, London, B.43 consists of correspondence from 1943.

The fifth subseries, Copenhagen, B.44-94 dates from Frisch's work at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, directed by Niels Bohr (see What little I remember, pp. 81-119). The letters at B.73-81 are, like B.39-42, Frisch's carbons, in date order, of his outgoing letters both personal and scientific. The item numbers 83-94 in this subseries have not been allocated, and do not represent missing items. See also B.208, part of the supplemental papers supplied by Ulla Frisch.

Birmingham, B.95-104, is comprised almost entirely of correspondence. These are almost wholly concerned with research projects. Unlike the previous correspondence files, they may include both incoming and outgoing letters. For personal material relating to Frisch's appointment at Birmingham, departure from Copenhagen and settlement in Britain, see A.11, A.48-53. See also B.209-221, part of the supplemental papers supplied by Ulla Frisch.

Liverpool, B.105-131, includes research reports on nuclear projects, B.109-116, and correspondence, B.117-131, which are almost wholly concerned with research projects, and include incoming and outgoing letters. For material relating to Frisch's appointment at Liverpool, see A.55.

Virtually no material survives for Los Alamos, B.132-136A, because of the strict security restrictions enforced on all personnel. For personal material relating to Frisch's service at Los Alamos, see A.58-63 and also A.12-15. The subseries does include a letter from Louis, identified as Louis Slotin by Sir Rudolf Peierls, written a month before Slotin's fatal accident (B.136A).

The ninth subseries is Harwell, B.137-142. For personal material relating to Frisch's period at Harwell, see A.64, A.65. See also B.222, part of the supplemental papers supplied by Ulla Frisch.

The subseries Cambridge, B.143-B.207, is divided into materials relating to the Cavendish Laboratory (B.143-183) and Frisch's company Laser Scan Limited, B.184-207. The Cavendish Laboratory is further subdivided into Notebooks and research notes, B.143-152, Lectures, B.153.175, and Correspondence, B.176-183. The lectures are arranged in chronological order as far as possible. The majority are graduate and undergraduate lectures given at Cambridge University, but see B.167-169 for lectures as visiting scientist at CERN 1967. Almost all the work is in Frisch's hand and is rarely written up as a narrative. The Laser Scan Limited materials are further subdivided into Notebooks and research notes, B.184-196, Publications and manuals, B.197-200, and Correspondence, B.201-207. The Notebooks and research notes include Frisch's later miscellaneous projects related to the company, as well as the original SWEEPNIK material. There are also some SWEEPNIK notes in B.143, 'ORF 18', hard-cover notebook. The correspondence includes Frisch's folder of material relating to the history of Laser Scan (B.201-205), with notes, drawings, and correspondence. See also B.223-224, part of the supplemental papers supplied by Ulla Frisch.

The last subseries, B.208-224, consists of supplemental material given by Ulla Frisch after the main body of papers arrived. These documents relate to nuclear fission in the first half of 1939: correspondence between Frisch and Lise Meitner, correspondence between Frisch and Niels Bohr, two drafts of Bohr's paper on the disintegration of heavy nuclei and correspondence between Frisch and Nature.

This category is comprised of visual materials which are not part of named collections and archives. The materials are primarily prints and photographs and have been arranged into Portraits, Views of Trinity College and Cambridge, and Albums and mixed collections.

The additional manuscript series are artificial groups containing manuscripts from various sources. Most of the contents are single items or small groups, but they include some fairly large personal archives, either arranged in sequence or scattered in various places. See the overview of the collections (https://archives.trin.cam.ac.uk/index.php/overview).

The additional manuscript series are artificial groupings, mostly of single items or very small archival entities, but in some cases large archives have been inserted in these series.

Writings, printed material, and miscellaneous material relating to both editions of F. W. Aston's 'Isotopes' and both editions of the later revision, 'Mass-spectra and Isotopes'.

The writings include an incomplete[?] draft of the first edition of 'Isotopes' written in Aston's hand [ASTN 1], some pages written on the verso of minutes of the British Association for the Advancement of Science [ca 1920-1923], with related notes and including a postcard from Hugh Frank Newall dated Dec. 193[?] about a reference found in [Antonius] van den Broek [ASTN 1/104]; other drafts are a combination of typescript and printed material with emendations in Aston's hand and that of a typesetter, some of it written on C. P. Snow's letterhead., with original material for the plates and figures [ASTN 2, 4, 7, 8].

Accompanied by printed copies of 'Isotopes' which contain some edits and have been cut up for use in the revision [ASTN 3, 6], and a typescript letter from F. P. Dunn of Edward Arnold Publishers dated Nov. 1923 sending unbound copies of 'Isotopes' for his use [ASTN 5]. Also accompanied by offprints of other works, also with emendations and cut sections [ASTN 9], and a letter from F. A. Towle of the Royal Society in July 1927 returning figures for his Bakerian Lecture [ASTN 10].

The papers contain faculty and special lectures, academic correspondence, scientific notebooks, letters and papers as Master of Trinity and President of the Royal Society, papers relating to the Natural Sciences Club, papers relating to the Cambridge Post-Expressionist exhibition and the diaries of Hester Adrian.

Letters and postcards from E. M. Forster to Elizabeth Trevelyan. Also included are five letters from R. J. Buckingham to Elizabeth Trevelyan, 3-5 and 83-84, written in 1935-1936 and 1950 to report on Forster's recovery from operations.

The collection is particularly noteworthy for its coverage of Adams's lectures, research and incoming correspondence.
Section A, Biographical, is not substantial. It includes a little material of Adams's relating to his own career including three Bedford School notebooks and his PhD thesis, and material assembled by I M James during the preparation of his Royal Society memoir.
Section B, Research, provides extensive documentation of Adams's research from the 1950s until his death. It is presented in an alphabetical sequence arranged by subject title.
Section C, Lectures, is the largest in the collection. Two subsections comprise Adams's lecture notes and other teaching material for courses given at Manchester and Cambridge, and material from conferences and seminars attended by Adams throughout the world including drafts of Adams's contributions and notes of contributions by others. A third subsection consists of Adams's ms notes found in filing cabinet drawers labelled 'Other people's lectures'. It includes notes taken by Adams as an undergraduate at Cambridge in 1949.
Section D, Publications, is very slight. It includes drafts of a few of Adams's scientific papers.
Section E, Correspondence, contains virtually no extended exchanges of correspondence as very few copies of Adams's own letters survive. There is, however, significant correspondence from colleagues such as M F (later Sir Michael) Atiyah, M G Barratt, P J Hilton, I M James and S MacLane, sometimes extending over a period of twenty or thirty years.
