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.
