Arranged into: Copies and drafts of some of Thomas Jones's articles, 1940s-50s (YY 3/1); Copies and drafts of some of Thomas Jones's broadcasts, talks and book reviews, 1940s-50s (YY 3/2).

When Thomas Jones was appointed to the Cabinet Secretariat in 1916, his friend Professor Maurice Powicke urged him to keep a diary, and throughout the years Thomas Jones made a careful record of the events and activities in which he was involved, preserving letters, notes of conversations, descriptions of ministerial conferences and similar material. A selection of such material, from the years after his resignation from the Secretariat, was published in his Diary with Letters. Thomas Jones had grouped the earlier and more secret material into similar form. When he heard that T. E. Lawrence had lost the first draft of the Seven Pillars, Thomas Jones became alarmed for the security of his own papers, and resolved to have them printed. The printer he chose was an old friend, Dr Ernst H. Zellweger, a Swiss whom he had first met at the Berlitz School of Languages in Glasgow when Thomas Jones was at the University. Zellweger, who was the Headmaster of Talhof School, St Gallen, Switzerland, directed a printing establishment at Flawil, and in 1937, several copies of the Diary were printed there. During the War, a copy of the Diary was stored in Switzerland for security. The Diaries, printed in 22 small volumes, cover the period 1899-1937, and form class Z of the collection.

This collection consists of correspondence, memoranda and papers relating to the four Prime Ministers under whom Thomas Jones served. The class is, in a sense, a residue, since much material relating to these Premiers may be found under other classes, notably classes B (Government), C (Government and Society) and the subject classes E, F, G, N, P, Q, S, T, W, Y, together with the printed Diaries in class Z. The richest and most directly relevant papers are those relating to Baldwin, who Thomas Jones enjoyed an intimate friendship with. Much of the material on Lloyd George derives from Thomas Jones's biography of him and from the anecdotes, reminiscences, etc., of third persons commenting on the biography. The material on Bonar Law and MacDonald is skimpy, indeed that on the latter is largely confined to the American visit in 1929. There is more material on MacDonald's governments, however, in the classes listed above, and this could be taken as a general rule, class A serving as a kind of personal supplement to the more institutional material found in other classes.

The series consists of press cuttings, 1912-1955, many relating to Thomas Jones or consisting of press articles and reviews written by Thomas Jones. Some refer to national and political events. There are also a number of obituaries and press tributes. Some of the later cuttings refer to the political career of Eirene White. There is one folder of press cuttings of reviews of Thomas Jones, Lloyd George (London, 1951).
