Artwork by Cedric Price, predominantly early work from childhood and university, with a small number of later items and designs for promotional material. Chiefly loose items, many of which were originally bundled into a large portfolio; plus a drawing book. [Note: CP's notebooks may be found at Price 1/8.]

Price showed himself to be an excellent draughtsman from an early age. The work is in a variety of styles: graphic designs, line drawings (including technical), diagrams, doodles and sketches, rough and fine work. Some are abstract subjects, most are concrete; many concern buildings (mostly domestic) observed or imagined, boats and marinas, landscapes and seascapes.

Media includes pencil, coloured pencil, draughting pen, watercolours, biro, prints. Also includes some photocopies (colour and black-and-white) of originals.

This section documents Jeffreys's life from her childhood in the 1900s up to her nineties. The material includes records of school and undergraduate studies, and her continuing links with Northampton School for Girls. There is documentation of early testimonials, showing the high regard in which she was held, and her later honours and awards. There is a sequence of diaries 1975-1996, and a number of household, commonplace and address books. Jeffreys retained close ties with her native county of Northamptonshire and her keen interest in family and local history is recorded. It is unfortunate that there is not more evidence of her well-known musical pursuits. Photographs show Jeffreys from childhood to shortly before her death. However, the largest single component of this section is biographical material relating to her husband Sir Harold Jeffreys (1891-1989). Jeffreys devoted much of her time after his death to writing about his life and work, assisting others with biographical accounts and helping in other ways to preserve and honour his memory.
