This extensive collection of working and personal papers cover a period dating from McGough's childhood to the time immediately before its deposit in 2007. It gives much insight into his working practices and includes many manuscript, typescripts and notebooks containing various drafts of his poetry, plays, books for children and work for television and radio. Much material relates also to McGough's time as a member of The Scaffold and The Grimms. There are extensive series of appointment diaries and correspondence, with letters from notable individuals, publishers, agents and fan mail, as well as many personal letters. There is an important series of published and unpublished poetry pamphlets and magazines dating the late 1950s onwards. Included with the collection is also a series of printed books by McGough and others, these have been catalogued separately as part of the Library's printed book catalogue, see SPEC McGough.
