1. Ruled notebook containing sketch ideas, notes, drafts; 'Doctor Who' note on first page. Memos. 'John Cleese'; tinkering with arrangements of Adams-Smith-Adams names and sketch timings (show sequence), note of ADC Squash time; 'The Wonderful Stereo World of Strutting and Fretting' pencilled inside back cover.

2-7. Four colour photographs taken on travels of friends and two unused postcards from the Ducal Palace, Urbino. Interleaved loose in the notebook.

Sketches, songs and poems, mainly dating from Adams's time at Cambridge and shortly after. Composition dates are uncertain for many items, and the ordering in this box is not at all chronological and is based on very approximate groupings of material. Further, not all of the material is necessarily written by Adams; presumably it all relates, however, to Adams Smith Adams and to other projects in which he was involved.

Includes notes on story and characters, and radio script material.

Typescript, with typescript and manuscript corrections.

Audio CD recording Adams's first reading in Germany on 14 March 1994.

Print (16" x 12") of Adams holding a self-portrait drawing, accompanied by a typescript interview with him conducted by the photographer. 'My major feature is my nose. Get that in the drawing and everything else just sticks at the back of it.'

Letters, postcards, greetings cards and telegrams from family, friends and partners, mainly to (and occasionally from) Adams.

The correspondence has been grouped by correspondent; these groups, arranged as chronologically as possible (with some ordering estimated from the contents where dates are not given), have been sequenced according to their earliest given dates. As they were found adjacent to dated ones, undated Christmas cards have been treated as circa December 1977. Some anonymous and/or undated items appear at the end.

Typescript and manuscript.
