The collection came to the Library in two phases. Boxes 1-4 contain notebooks, typescripts, printed items and a few photographs, mostly relating to Engledow's travels in Africa and Asia and to his agricultural research. Boxes 5-11 contain a broader assortment of notes, correspondence, reminiscences, memorabilia, photographs and artefacts, relating mainly to Engledow's personal (non-academic) life and activities, as well as copies of printed publications by or collected by Engledow. The grouping of material in boxes 5-11 largely preserves the arrangement assigned by Engledow's daughter Ruth Steketee, who presented this part of the collection to the Library in 2014. [N.B. Additional material relating to Engledow and not catalogued here can be found in the Glover collection (Box 8), Yule Box and Pamphlets collection (Box E).]

Includes correspondence, diaries, notebooks, typescripts and one photograph.

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.

Manuscript and printed scores, some correspondence.

Mathematical notes.

Manuscript papers and a few notebooks consisting of notes and calculations. The majority of the material relates to astronomy and optics and dates from 1854-90.

The papers in this collection were removed after Richard's death from drawers and filing cabinets in his College rooms, and presented to the College by his widow. The arrangement here preserves in broad outline the system adopted in the cabinets, though there has been some tidying in the interests of clarity and to correct obvious misfiling. The wider collection also includes a copy of the dissertation submitted in successful pursuit of a Fellowship at St John's College, 1964, a bound copy of Richard's PhD dissertation, 1965, and a complete paper set of his published papers, all of which are held in the College Library.
