Papers of Sir Frank Leonard Engledow
The collection came to the Library in two phases. Boxes 1-4 contain notebooks, typescripts, printed items and a few photographs, mostly relating to Engledow's travels in Africa and Asia and to his agricultural research. Boxes 5-11 contain a broader assortment of notes, correspondence, reminiscences, memorabilia, photographs and artefacts, relating mainly to Engledow's personal (non-academic) life and activities, as well as copies of printed publications by or collected by Engledow. The grouping of material in boxes 5-11 largely preserves the arrangement assigned by Engledow's daughter Ruth Steketee, who presented this part of the collection to the Library in 2014. [N.B. Additional material relating to Engledow and not catalogued here can be found in the Glover collection (Box 8), Yule Box and Pamphlets collection (Box E).]

A small quantity of personal and professional papers and medals, given by various sources.
Hinde, Robert Aubrey (1923-2016)
The papers in this collection were removed after Richard's death from drawers and filing cabinets in his College rooms, and presented to the College by his widow. The arrangement here preserves in broad outline the system adopted in the cabinets, though there has been some tidying in the interests of clarity and to correct obvious misfiling. The wider collection also includes a copy of the dissertation submitted in successful pursuit of a Fellowship at St John's College, 1964, a bound copy of Richard's PhD dissertation, 1965, and a complete paper set of his published papers, all of which are held in the College Library.
RNP represents Richard Nelson Perham, NLP represents Nancy Lane Perham, and SJC represents St John's College, Cambridge throughout this listing.

Papers of George Grimes Watson
The collection primarily consists of correspondence, arranged into various series: the 'ex libris' correspondence is that which was interleaved in George Watson's personal library and has since been reordered, and other preexisting groups of correspondence – including that with 'prominent persons', or pertaining to 'The New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature' or to books authored by Watson – have been ordered within separate series. Typescripts and offprints of Watson's writing, and that of others, also feature, as do newspaper cuttings, photocopies of research material, and a small number of photographs. Additionally, some documentation and ephemera relating to Watson's career at the University of Cambridge and St John's College are included.
