The papers consist of correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, and ephemera. The largest group of letters were written by Ellen Terry to Clement Scott, drama critic; the remainder of the items consist of letters and manuscripts written by various people and, for the most part, deal with Terry's life on the stage, her celebrated roles, and her fellow actors and actresses. One letter of interest was written by Terry and discusses her thoughts, motivations, and fears upon acting Lady Macbeth for the first time. The collection also includes three undated photographs of Ellen Terry.
