The collection represents Hinton's selection and evaluation of the material in his possession. He regularly pruned his files of what he considered less important papers, while grouping together documents on a particular topic or of special interest and often adding his own title and comments. Although documentation of his work for industry and official bodies must be sought in the records of Imperial Chemical Industries, the Ministry for Supply, United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and Central Electricity Generating Board, the collection contains personal material for all stages of his career. Of special interest in this regard are his unpublished autobiography (copyright IMECHE) and other notes and reminiscences, and his personal and office diaries from 1941 to 1983. Many of the other activities of special concern to Hinton are also well documented, such as his work for the engineering profession in papers relating to the Council of Engineering Institutions, the Fellowship of Engineering, and the Finniston Committee of Enquiry. Other contributions to the public service as Special Adviser to the World Bank and Chairman of the International Executive of the World Energy Conference are also represented. The correspondence section is not large, but includes many reminiscences and overviews of various aspects of Hinton's career.
