There are many loose photographs and newspaper cuttings in this volume.

The scrap-books include correspondence, playbills, press cuttings and photographs, relating to Emlyn Williams, his family and friends. Newspaper extracts relating to current affairs are also included. A large quantity of material has been tipped in between the pages of the scrap-books. However to facilitate reference, only the scrap-book pages have been foliated. Thus a folio number can refer to the tipped in material, as well as to the scrap-book folio. This is a selective index, fan mail has not usually been indexed unless written by correspondents of note, and letters from Miss Cooke and family correspondence have not been indexed. The names of the correspondents are listed as they appear in the scrap-books. Most of the material refers to stage appearances by Emlyn Williams. The names of the authors of works not written by Emlyn Williams have been noted.
