Nearly 1300 letters arranged alphabetically by surname, with letters received on the announcement of his knighthood in a separate file at the end, followed by a file of letters from unidentified correspondents. Other correspondence relating directly to various plays may be found in the Works series under the title of the play. Shaffer did not use email but printed emails provided by friends and agents may be found in the collection. Denis Zaphiro's letters are the earliest dated letters, beginning in 1944; some of them are addressed to both Peter and Tony Shaffer.

Correspondents include members of the Shaffer family, and friends from St Paul's School: James Mossman, Jerrold Weinstein and Denis Zaphiro, Trinity College friends Mal Diamond, Donald Friedman, Raymond Leppard, Richard Mayne (also at St Paul's with Shaffer), and Leopold de Rothschild. Shaffer's letters to his parents, and also to Jerrold Weinstein appear in the archive, as they were passed to Shaffer following the deaths of his parents and after Weinstein's early death. There are also letters from Shaffer's long time partner Robert Leonard, as well as colleagues from the theatre and performance arts including Leonard Bernstein, Simon Callow, John Dexter, Peter Firth, Paul Giovanni, John Gielgud, Peter Hall, Ian McKellen, Maggie Smith, Harold Pinter, Stephen Sondheim, Victor Spinetti, and Tom Stoppard.

Photographs in sepia and in black and white. Views of Trinity include Great Court, the fountain, the Master's Lodge, King Edward's Gate, a view through gateways in Whewell's Court, and Nevile's Gate with Trinity Lane beyond. There is also a photograph of Trinity Lane running south towards the Old Schools with King's College Chapel behind, probably taken from V. H. Mottram's room in Staircase P, Great Court; it is this room which is likely shown in the single interior shot of the album. A photograph of the alcoves in the tribunal at the west wall of the Hall, each occupied by a figure in cap and gown, and a view of the river and the tower of St John's College chapel from North Paddock complete the images from Trinity; there is also a view labelled 'Coe Fen' which is mounted on two layers of card.
