Three copies of a list of Burren Placenames. The first list is a handwritten draft with lots of notes. The second list is typed, and arranged into 3 columns that give the OS form of the place name, other known versions of the name, and the suggested Irish form. The third list is a carbon copy of the typed list and has several handwritten edits from Robinson and Micheál Ó Maolchaoine / Michael (Pop) Mulqueeny.

Two handwritten letters from Charles Self to Robinson, in the process of writing a book on behalf of the University of Bristol's Speleological Society. The first letter requests permission to use the boundaries of Robinson's Burren maps, upon which he has added cave and water tracing information.

Material representing Tim Robinson's Burren research.

Arrangement is broadly by subject area, there is some intersection between subjects and correspondents reflecting the inter-disciplinary nature of Robinson's research and writing. The related material field makes an effort to reflect this.
