Papers of Constance Babington Smith
BABS · Fondo · 20th c.

The papers include personal and professional correspondence; photographs; cuttings of articles and reviews, both by Babington Smith and on her own life and works; texts of talks and addresses given; and poetry. There is a great deal of material relating to her biographies of Amy Johnson, John Masefield, Iulia de Beausobre (Lady Namier), and Margery Blackie. Particularly notable is the material relating to her cousin Rose Macaulay; Babington Smith edited three volumes of Macaulay's letters, as well as writing a biography of her, and the collection includes photographs and other Macaulay family papers. Also well-represented is Babington Smith's interest in Greek Orthodox Christianity, with correspondence, research and religious papers.

See the attached inventory for further details.

Parte de Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton

The correspondence in this section is arranged in two alphabetical series, one longer (contained in HOUG/1-28) and one shorter (contained in HOUG/28-35). It is not now obvious how these series differ, but they may well originate with A. E. Scanes, the first person to arrange and catalogue the papers.

Individuals are often listed under their titles, so for example Henry Austin Bruce, 1st Baron Aberdare, appears in HOUG/1 under 'Aberdare' rather than HOUG/4 for 'Bruce'. In addition, letters sometimes appear under topics or institutions, so there are letters in HOUG/1 from Frederick Eaton, Solomon Hart, and J. P. Wright, re the [Royal] Academy of Arts.

Parte de Papers of Frank Adams

This class contains virtually no extended exchanges of correspondence, as the great majority of letters are incoming, with very few carbons of Adams's replies. The content is essentially mathematical; chiefly requests for Adams's advice or comments on specific problems, reflecting Adams's high standing in his field. Of special interest is the extensive correspondence from M. F. Atiyah, M. G. Barratt, P. J. Hilton, I. M. James, A. Liulevičius, S. Mac Lane, and C. W. Wilkerson.

Research
ADAM/B · Class · 1950s-1989
Parte de Papers of Frank Adams

The material is principally Adams's undated MS drafts, notes and calculations documenting his research from the 1950s until his death. It was found in Adams's own folders with titles inscribed thereon. These titles have been reproduced in the catalogue entries and form the basis for the arrangement of the material in an alphabetical sequence. At the end of this sequence is miscellaneous research material including 'work done' and 'work in progress'. The contents of bulky folders have been subdivided for ease of reference.

Papers of Frank Adams
ADAM · Fondo · 1946-1989

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.
