Scope and content
The documentation comprises notebooks, manuscript working, data, drafts, correspondence and off-prints. The earliest material is a group of nine small notebooks used by Jeffreys for natural history notes, 1902-1915. There are also significant components relating to probability and statistics, and seismology, especially the later work in collaboration with R.S. Sidhu, M. Gogna and M. Shimshoni. Additionally, at the end of the alphabetical sequence, there is a small group of miscellaneous papers, including manuscripts by C.G. Darwin, and drafts relating to theses supervised by Jeffreys: V.S. Huzubazar in respect of statistics (1949) and E.P. Arnold in respect of the revision of seismological tables (1965).
