The papers consist mainly of Welsh translations of poems written in English, namely, The Minister by R. S. Thomas, The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and We came unto a river wide by T. Gwynn Jones. Also, a translation of a document at Clwyd Library on the Mold riot in 1869 and of a play entitled The last of the Cambrian princes : a trilogyby Dr. T. D. Williams.

The correspondence dates from 1947 with letters to and from T. Ceiriog Williams. Amongst the correspondents are Bedwyr Lewis Jones, Arthur ap Gwynn, R. S. Thomas, Sir Ifor Williams and Sir Thomas Parry. Some relate to Daniel Owen and his memorial. In addition, there are notes on Daniel Owen and newspaper cuttings.

T. Ceiriog Williams lived in Marian-glas, Anglesey. Evidently, he was a keen translator of English poetry to Welsh and an acquaintance of Prof. Bedwyr Lewis Jones.
