Scope and content

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, and some subjects of photographs have not been identified.

Conditions governing access

A flood at Shaffer's flat in London damaged photographs on his mantel, and the most damaged photographs have been closed until conservation treatment can be done. Some other photographs with lighter damage have been integrated into the folders open to researchers.
