http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61848246

During his retirement Stoner organised and selected his papers, intending to write an autobiography. The material thus consists of Stoner's own compilation of biographical material, with many of his own notes, dates and comments: (1) Narrative accounts of his school and university days; (2) Stoner's notes of lectures given at Cambridge by Rutherford, E.V. Appleton, G.F.C. Searle, J.J. Thomson, C.G. Darwin, C.T.R. Wilson and others, and of N. Bohr's lecture on quantum theory and atomic structure delivered in Cambridge in 1922; (3) A complete run of his daily journals, 1919-1968; (4) Stories, essays and poems; (5) Material relating to the Department of Physics, Leeds University; (6) Published articles and correspondence; (7) Reports and papers of various committees; (8) An extensive correspondence covering the period 1918-1966, fully indexed by Stoner. The regular correspondence between Stoner and relatives in the London area during the Second World War forms an interesting record of the period.
