Items C. 1 - C.344 consist of lectures etc as part of Adams' role in teaching, These are further subdivided according to subject:
C1-C89 Algebra
C90-C129 Geometry
C130-C143 Homology
C144-C218 Homotopy
C219-C230 K-theory
C241-C248 Lie Groups
C249-C263 Representation Theory
C264-C315 Topology
C316-C344 Miscellaneous

C.345 - C.646 are from conferences and seminars he attended and C.647 - C.708 consist of lectures by others.

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.

Where applicable reference has been made to Adams's List of Publications (A.2)

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.

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)

Correspondence is arranged as follows:
1-24: Scientific Correspondence 1945-1950: A chronological sequence of correspondence with colleagues about research, publications, visits etc.
25-36: Correspondence: Contents of an untitled folder. Chronological sequence of scientific correspondence, complementary to the preceding. Includes correspondence re equipment and supplies.
37-93: Old Letters: Contents of two box folders so inscribed: alphabetical sequence of correspondence with colleagues about research, publications, visits, equipment etc.
94-152: General Files: Contents of box folders so inscribed: alphabetical sequence of correspondence A-K with colleagues about research, publications, visits etc. Files L-Z were not found.
153-158: Miscellaneous

Drafts and Publications are arranged as follows:
1-437: Drafts: Drafts of papers by or co-authored by Hodgkin, with accompanying manuscript experimental data, calculations, equations etc. Correspondence with co-authors included.
438-463: Editorial Correspondence
464-465: Offprints: Hardback bound volume of offprints of papers, 1937-1950, by or co-authored by Hodgkin. 1 box of loose offprints.

Research has been arranged as follows:
1-67: Experimental Notebooks: These notebooks chiefly cover experimental work carried out at the Physiological Laboratory, University of Cambridge, and the Marine Biological Association laboratory, Plymouth, Hodgkin's first summer at the MBA was in 1939 when he worked for the first time with A. F. Huxley on squid nerve fibre. After the interruption of the war years their work resumed at Plymouth in 1947 and was completed by the publication of five papers in 1952. Contents are chiefly tables of experimental results, often with notes on the details of particular experiments, with diagrams and calculations etc. Dates, where found, are sometimes inscribed at the top of a page or on the cover, though some notebooks have no dates. Intercalated pages of notes and graphs are also found. Entries in the hands of others, chiefly A. F. Huxley and B. Katz, frequently found.

68-105: Theoretical and General Notebooks: These notebooks chiefly contain theoretical notes, usually with reference to published work by others, as background to Hodgkin's experimental work. Intercalated notes etc are found.

106-1127: Files for Experimental and Theoretical Work further divided: 106-156: Early research (1935-1939);
157-308: Various topics (1942-1991). A small amount of material relating to Hodgkin's work during World War II is included at C/157.; 308A-1120: Later experiments and theory (1960-1988). Much of this material was found organised in a rough chronological sequence. It chiefly consists of experimental data (manuscript and computer-generated), calculations and theoretical notes. A large proportion of the experiments are on vision; 1122-1127: 'Circuits' (1939-1960). Contents of a box so inscribed. The material appears to be chiefly c 1945 and to relate to Hodgkin's work in designing electrical circuits. It appears to cover some of his later wartime work on airborne radar at the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) 1940-1945, and work on the nerve impulse, which he resumed with A. F. Huxley in 1946. It is probable that some of the circuit diagrams represent Hodgkin's preparations for the resumption of the nerve impulse research.

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.

The items in this series are notes, which, for the most part, are discrete and focused, and are either titled on the note or Batchelor has added a slip of paper bearing a title to the document or file. The contents of some is almost certainly included in lectures and publications

From early in his career Batchelor travelled widely to conferences around the world. The following files may include preparatory materials and follow-up exchanges, though any papers given at or publications arising from conferences are likely to be found in sections K and H respectively.

This class includes two series of Batchelor’s correspondence files and also loose scientific correspondence that was not filed. The alphabetically-arranged files of correspondence (F1 and F2) begin with letters from the 1940s. Probably at the beginning of 1980, with the size of the files increasing, a second series was begun. The files in the first series thus practically finish in 1979, however occasionally letters of a later date were inserted, hence the covering dates of some files in this continue beyond 1979. A third series (F3) has been created for the correspondence that was not filed. A correspondent’s appearance in this third series does not indicate that they do not appear in series F1 and/or F2.

Batchelor was instrumental in the move to establish departments within the mathematics faculty. In 1959 DAMTP was founded with him as first head of department – a role he was not to relinquish until 1983. As such he was able to shape the department, supervising its move into its first consolidated home in former premises of CUP on the Mill Lane site and introducing a fluid dynamics laboratory in the face of opposition from the Department of Physics. He continued as its head of Department until his early retirement in 1983
