The collection consists primarily of forty-two bound volumes covering Roger Griffin's research and publications from circa 1955 to circa 1991. Topics and publications include observation logs, Observatory Magazine, The Spectroscopic Binaries, Griffin's Fellowship dissertation for St John's, computing, RV reductions, spectroscopy, and radial velocities.
Seven card-index boxes, made by Griffin, contain many years' worth of raw data from radial-velocity spectrometer observations. Digital versions can be viewed at https://www.squarewheels.org.uk/rfg/unpub/ .
There are also notebooks containing material on observations and telescope maintenance, a chart roll of spectrometer output, a 1977 leaflet on the Cambridge North Norway Expedition, and papers on the Cripps development at St John's.
