Biographical material documents most stages of Flowers's career from 1958 to 1990, and includes papers relating to his various appointments, honors and awards, photographs and press clippings. His undergraduate studies at Cambridge are also represented, through five notebooks from the early 1940s. There is material reflecting his concerns for science education and research, and political interests and papers relating to Flowers's career at the University of Manchester. Also included are speeches, lectures and broadcasts, including some given during his rectorship of Imperial College, London, and his contributions to House of Lords debates from 1979. There are also lecture courses from the University of Birmingham (1950-1952) and the University of Manchester (1958-1967), and broadcasts for BBC radio (1957-1983). There are publications material, editorial material and offprints. Flowers's involvement in numerous UK and international bodies is documented. Flowers's association with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority between 1958 and 1977 is well documented. Political concerns are reflected through correspondence and papers relating to Pugwash Conferences (1962-1967), while his continued interest and involvement in the affairs of Imperial College of Science and Technology, London and the University of London, following his retirement as rector in 1990 are also documented. The principle component of Flowers's correspondence is an extensive sequence of "personal correspondence" whose subject matter is broad, covering a wide range of professional issues and more personal matters relating to colleagues, friends and family. There are also day files (1990-1997), and correspondence with J.W. Bray MP in 1966 and Lord Rothschild in 1970s and 1980s kept as separate sequences by Flowers.
