Thomas Adams papers
Manuscripts
The collection is made up of account books, notes, articles of agreement, and correspondence. The three account books include a postage posted volume and two cash account books (1764-1766). The three articles of agreement are drafts of agreements regarding land in Blanchland and Hexham (1772). Also included are 15 notes kept by Thomas Adams regarding his two favorite dogs: William the Lion and Sancho (1792-1806). There are ninety pieces of correspondence (1793-1795) between Thomas Adams, George Wood, Clayton & Walters, Kirton & Grey, Edward Blonk and Robert Hopper Williamson. The correspondence deals with the possible enclosure of Allendale and Hexhamshire Commons. The Crewe Trust (Adams was their lawyer, George Wood was their agent) was disputing this action and wanted to make sure they did not lose out when the lands were enclosed. Many of the letters deal with the attempt to bring all the parties together to discuss the subject, but to no avail. The correspondence includes the letters received by Adams, as well as kept drafts of his replies.

Welsh Protestant's sermons preached in Northern Ireland: manuscript volume
Manuscripts
These sermons appear to have been copied from the manuscripts of Thomas Jones in 1690 by a clergyman preaching in Coleraine in Northern Ireland. The final leaf bears dates for "preaching at Coleraine" by both the copyist and "Mr Boyd of Loghgells" [i.e.Loughguile], perhaps William Boyd (d. 1772), rector of Ramoan.

Thomas Nast scrapbook related to the Heenan-Sayers heavyweight fight
Manuscripts
Disbound scrapbook of pencil sketches made by American cartoonist Thomas Nast while traveling to and in England to cover the heavyweight boxing match between Englishman Thomas Sayers and American John C. Heenan on April 17, 1860. This scrapbook contains sketches Nast made before, during, and after the fight (though there are very few drawings related to the fight itself). Most of the drawings, which include rough sketches and more polished drawings, reflect the settings and people that Nast encountered between his arrival in England in February 1860 and the fight on April 17th. Images depict sailors and officers on the ship the City of Manchester, ship interiors, coastal landscapes, individuals and scenes in English towns, including both street scenes and room interiors. Details related to the boxers include their colors, rooms, and the boxers preparing with their trainers. In addition to the drawings, there are also photographs consisting of: a carte-de-visite of Thomas Nast (Page 1-a, 90-b, 91); James Price Jr. (Page 2-a); Captain James Price (Page 2-b); Tom Sayers (Pages 17-a, 59-a, 68-b, 68-c); an unidentified man (Page 45-f); Cusick (Page 46-d and 48-d); Nat Langham (Page 49-d); Bob Brettle (Page 50-e); an unidentified young woman kneeling next to a fallen horse (Page 53-c); a fragment of a garden and building (Page 82-a); and a man and woman (Page 82-b). There is also an engraved portrait of Nast (Page 90-c) and a playbill for the Haymarket Theatre Royal, 1885 July 15, removed from the album's back pastedown.
