The collection is comprised of Watt's botany notebooks, notes and drafts (mainly related to Breckland), Watt's work in nature conservancy (mainly in Breckland), a very small selection of correspondence with an index of correspondents, a section of Watt's photographs (again, primarily of Breckland), and a number of Watt's Breckland maps.
