The group consists of correspondence and papers deriving from the proceedings and activities of the Ceredigion and Pembroke North (later the Ceredigion) Liberal (later the Liberal Democrat) Association, 1986-1997. They include draft constitutions of the committee, lists of officers of the society, paid-up members, and members of committees and sub-committees, agenda and minutes of meetings, circular letters, press releases, reports and internal memoranda, invitations and tickets of admission to various events, financial reports and balance sheets and executive summaries.

The fonds consists of a disappointingly small group of miscellaneous papers accumulated by Dr Roderic Bowen during the course of his political career and public life. They include printed matter, 1901-1993, press cuttings, 1906-1992, speech notes, [1950]-[2000], letters, 1955-2001, and pocket diaries, 1985-2000. There are also files of papers relating to the work of the Committee of Inquiry on Bilingual Road Signs in 1972, which he chaired, and to the unsuccessful attempt to secure a knighthood for Dr Bowen in 2000-2001.

The file comprises letters mainly relating to estate properties, and particularly to the Van Quarry in the parish of Llangyndeyrn. There are a number of papers, 1923-1926, relating to the Conservative interest in Cardiganshire, including a suggestion to wind up the Cardiganshire Unionist Association because of an excess overdraft, 1925, and a file of copy objections to persons on the electoral lists, 1926.
