The papers consist of minutes of meetings, accounts of boat races, financial accounts, correspondence, printed rules and regulations, dinner menus, photographs, as well as May Ball posters and programmes. The materials are arranged into series according to club, followed by a separate series for the May Balls, with Miscellanea following. This collection will continue to grow as material is received.

The material gathered here includes May Balls held by the First Trinity Boat Club and the Third Trinity Boat Club, and then balls that they co-hosted while still separate entities, followed by balls hosted by the First and Third Boat Club. Material is arranged into Minute books, Account books, Posters, Programmes, Photographs, and Dance cards.

The material gathered here contains material related to the general history of rowing at Trinity College and/or Cambridge University rather than focusing on one specific club.

The minutes run from 1832 to 1936 in ten volumes; these are followed by a volume of Henley race accounts and a volume of decisions made by the Cambridge University Boat Club made for and by the Boat Club.

Trinity College, Cambridge. - Committee on Junior Bursar's Muniments. The volumes listed by the Vice-Master were stowed in the Senior Bursar's Muniment Room. Enclosing a ''plan of the relevant parts of the Senior Bursar's Muniment Room', and 'a list showing (a) the former position and (b) the present position, of each item which has been moved'.

This typed list is headed 'Volumes moved temporarily from the Junior Bursar's to the Senior Bursar's Muniments Room'; a footnote explains that 'Descriptions and former positions as stated in Mr. Adam's list, O.10a.39, of which there is a copy in the J.B.s Muniments Room on the table' [the list referred to here is probably what is now O.10a.40/3].

[At top: Laurence Olivier], Nat. Th. - Despite his own storm of openings, he is thinking of Peter and his opening and sends his best wishes; thanks him for the [marvels?] he created for 'Love for Love', indistinguishable from the Congreve; may he be rewarded with a real triumph next week.

Shaffer's diaries span 56 volumes and run from 1958 to 2015. There are two diaries for 1963, and no diary for 1967, 1968, 1973, and 2008. The 2008 diary was lost by Shaffer at JFK Airport in New York. 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.

Pleased with Virgil's Messaianic Eclogue, cannot sympathise with Conway's desire to change the pronunciation of the classical languages, letters in the Times attacking Murray on the expense of his volume of the Queen's letters: [Queensgate House, Kingston Hill]

This subseries contains drafts or other surviving evidence of some of Peter Shaffer's early works, such as photographs or a contract. Represented are the radio play 'Alexander the Corrector,' the mysteries The Woman in the Wardrobe, How Doth the Little Crocodile? and Before and After, and the screenplays 'Prodigal Father,' 'The Salt Land,' and 'The Balance of Terror.'

In a letter from Peter to Johnson he explains that he wrote 'The Woman In the Wardrobe' under a pseudonym because he and Anthony [Shaffer] wanted to write two more together under that name; provides a riddle to guess the pseudonym they used. This is accompanied by fax transmission sheet. The reply from Johnson apologises for misattributing 'The Woman in the Wardrobe' to Anthony Shaffer, and for getting the type of work wrong: a detective novel and not a play, and notes that Shaffer has not revealed what happened at the end, prolonging his 'agony'; thanks him for kind remarks about his column.
