Materials in this catalogue are organised hierarchically and assigned to sub-fonds such as Personal, Academic, or Business papers. These groupings are intended as broad contextual guides rather than strict definitions, and they determine the reference number that is assigned to that particular archive collection (for example A for Academic, P for Personal).
Because many creators’ lives and work do not fit neatly into a single category, some collections include material that might also sit comfortably elsewhere. In some cases, collections that contain academic or literary material have been placed within Personal papers, reflecting how the records were originally grouped or described.
More detailed information is provided at collection and item level.

They usually involved the Pirries and his daughter Kathleen. He was often a visitor at the Pirries' home, Witley Park, [Haslemere, Surrey]. Kathleen and her 'chicks' were living at Minehead in early 1915 and by the end of the year at 50 Montpelier Road, [Brighton, Sussex]. She often went with her father to social engagements and helped him entertain dinner guests, which he regularly did on a Wednesday or Thursday evening. Lady Robertson was sometimes a dinner guest and on Tuesday 5 Oct Freyer gave a dinner party for 12 guests, who included Mr and Mrs John Redmond. Other friends were G Lambart and Lord and Lady Devonport. On 17 Mar there was a reception at the Hotel Cecil with William Redmond and on 21 Aug he attended the King and Queen on their visit to the Indian hospitals and the awarding of the VC and other decorations to some of the Indian troops. His weekly visits to [the Indian hospitals] Brighton generally took place on Saturday, when he would go by train either for the day or overnight.
