The bulk of the material relates to Thompson's research and consists of notebooks, research papers and reports covering the period 1954-1986. The notebooks, 1957-1986, consist of rough notes on research carried out at AERE Harwell and the University of Sussex. There are also three notebooks of experimental results kept while Thompson was visiting Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories, Ontario in 1968. The research papers cover a similar period and were generally categorised by Thompson as either theoretical or experimental. The reports are United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority Reports and relate to work carried out at AERE, Harwell. They were produced in the period 1957 to 1969. There is publications material 1949-1991 including significant documentation of Thompson's book "Defects and Radiation Damage in Metals", (Cambridge University Press, 1969) and documentation of his 1985 lecture "Violence and disorder in solid state." There is also a set of Thompson's off-prints. Thompson's period at the University of Sussex is represented by administrative and teaching material 1973-1980.
