These are his personal papers which he kept in his home.

The main topics covered by the papers are race relations and the activities of Rheinallt Jones for the Institute of Race Relations, politics, racial tension in South Africa, all aspects of African life, in particular, labour and education, the proposed Federation of Northern and Southern Rhodesia in the 1950s, the African Boy Scouts Association, Y.M.C.A. etc.

Rheinallt Jones' correspondents are numerous, as his interests were wide. In the field of politics and international affairs he corresponded with J.H. Hofmeyr, General Smuts, Arthur Creech Jones (then British Colonial Secretary), Lord Sanderson, Francis W. Hirst and Edgar Brookes, to mention but a few. His interest in education, in particular African education, brought about correspondence with Charles T. Loram, Dr W.M. Eiselen, C.P. Dent (Principal of Fort Hare), E.W. Grant and many others who were active in this field. These few examples serve to illustrate the range of topics and the variety of correspondents represented in this collection.

Also papers relating to his first wife, Edith Rheinallt Jones, and to his second wife, Clare Rheinallt Jones.
