The material from the first accession is made up of letters and papers from two of Sraffa's most notable Cambridge correspondents, John Maynard Keynes (items 1 to 89) and Ludwig Wittgenstein (items 90 to 144). Those from Keynes to Sraffa include letters concerning their collaboration in an edition of Hume's Abstract of a treatise on human nature, and attempts to ensure Sraffa's release from interment. Those papers relating to Wittgenstein include tantalizing glimpses of his intellectual relationship with Sraffa.

The material from the second accession contains correspondence and papers giving useful biographical information about various parts of Sraffa's life. This material is arranged as follows: birth/residence certificates (145-148); documents relating to Sraffa;s refusal of the title of Cavaliere nell'Ordine della Corona d'Italia (149-155); article for the Manchester Guardian and its aftermath (156-162); attempts to enter Britain in 1920s (163-166); 1926 Economic Journal article (167-168); family renunciation of Jewish lineage (169-171); Angelo Sraffa and Milan and Bocconi Universities (172-173); death of Angelo Sraffa and subsequent events (174-180a); papers relating to Sraffa's internment and the offer of a post at the New School (181-215); correspondence on various matters (216-229); miscellaneous papers (230-234).

94 articles on hydrodynamics, most of them offprints, accompanied by a typescript list which has been attached to this catalogue record. Four articles are from the pre-publication stage, but the only one bearing annotations is a corrected copy of an article (item 3, "The flow under gravity of an incompressible and inviscid fluid through a constriction in a horizontal channel" in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, 1937). Another article, an Advance copy, has a photograph of a device for a pipe line laid in loose: item 22, "Protective Air Vessels for Rising Pipe Lines" for The Institution of Mechanical Engineers. One proof is a Confidential report for the Aeronautical Research Committee in 1929 (item 2, "The Influence of Oxygen on Corrosion Fatigue"). Two of the items are represented by the original journal in which they appeared (item 11, Journal of the Institution of Civil Engineers No. 3, 1940-41; and item 17, The Structural Engineer Vol. XX, Number 7, July 1942). One offprint listed on the accompanying typescript list is an article by Binnie, but the item itself is an article from later in the same journal, T. Brooke Benjamin's "Wave formation in laminar flow down an inclined plane" rather than Binnie's "Experiments on the onset of wave formation on a film of water flowing down a vertical plane" in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 2, Part 6, Aug.1957.
