Some of the material is bound in scrapbooks; other material is loose.

Permission to make any published use of any material from the collection must be sought in advance in writing from the Director of Special Collections (email: special-collections@contacts.bham.ac.uk). Identification of copyright holders of unpublished material is often difficult. Special Collections will assist where possible with identifying copyright owners, but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material.

This gift was formerly incorporated into a collection called the Theatre Collection and the items were given the following numbers within that collection: 6631-6902. However, the material comprising this gift has now been identified as an unconnected acquisition and catalogued as a discrete collection.
