Assorted photographs.

Photographs of Adams, friends, family, animals et cetera.

Please note that most photographs here are unlabelled and Adams was not necessarily the photographer in any instance: copyright remains with the photographers. Dating is approximate, and the grouping of photographs is in some cases merely heuristic.

'Pirate Planet Notes'.

Title from manila folder (not retained). Manuscript and typescript notes and treatment drafts. A few sheets contain on reverse a draft for a different piece (sketch?) about actors (see, e.g., sheets lxii-lxiv), and dialogue between 'SW' and 'JH'. A few pages are 'Tiny Minds' letterhead.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency notes and fragments.

Preparatory material, with corrections and annotations. Includes a manuscript note reading 'High on a promontory | overlooking a green valley | sat an electric monk | on a bored horse', and a typed version of the introduction headed 'The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Short Story'. Some with print dates. Typescript and manuscript.

Some sets of pages are paperclipped together where they were originally stapled; they are not necessarily sequential.

Two pages of notes from elsewhere in the deposit, on Keith Thomas's 'Religion and the Decline of Magic', have been inserted by the cataloguer and attached to a page that bears this note: 'I'm not sure how useful it is at the moment reading Religion and the Decline of Magic. I'd like to include an incident not unlike the one in which Sir Arthur Eddington fooled some part of his audience into thinking that a supernatural event had taken place, and fooled another part of the audience into thinking that they hadn't seen anything odd happen at all.'
