http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/154306673

Whiddington discarded most of his papers when he moved to Norfolk on retirement from Leeds University in 1951. The surviving material consists largely of manuscript notes for lectures: notes for lectures Whiddington attended at Cambridge including those given by G.F.C. Searle and C.T.R. Wilson, 1907-1908, and notes for Whiddington's own lectures at Leeds. There is also correspondence relating to Science at war (with J.G. Crowther), Her Majesty's Stationery Office, 1947 and Whiddington's Royal Society memoir of J.W. Ryde.
