There are nearly 200 photographs of Peter Shaffer and his friends and relatives, a mix of candids and portrait photographs. They have been arranged roughly chronologically by date; the earliest is a portrait of Peter and Anthony at around one year of age. Many of the photographs do not have captions, so some people in them have not been identified.

The Personal Papers series is arranged into Incoming correspondence, Outgoing correspondence, Diaries, Photographs, Printed Material, and Other papers. All of the incoming and outgoing correspondence has been listed, if not catalogued in full. Letters Shaffer received on his knighthood are together after the general alphabetic run, as are letters from unidentified correspondents. Other correspondence relating directly to various plays may be found in the Works subseries under the title of the play.

The papers consist of correspondence, writings, diaries, photographs, and printed material which document the life and work of playwright Sir Peter Levin Shaffer.

Shaffer's diaries span 56 volumes and run from 1958 to 2015. There are two diaries for 1963, and no diary for 1966, 1967, 1973, and 2008. The 2008 diary was lost by Shaffer at JFK Airport in New York in 2008. Shaffer used these primarily as appointment books, but regularly added short descriptions of events, including reviews of plays and concerts attended, as well as occasional descriptions of dinner parties. While traveling he made lengthier entries recording activities. He also used the diaries as a way of keeping track of the number of days spent in the UK and the US.
