The papers were presented in 1953 by Captain Charles Ford Hamill after Admiral Kelly had, to a large extent, arranged them.
Papers of Sir William Archibald Howard Kelly, consisting of a draft of his memoirs which is very detailed until 1933; after this period it has only a few notes and observations on Turkey. The diaries for 1899, 1901, 1903, 1905 to 1907, 1910, 1914 to 1916, 1919 to 1921, 1923 to 1929 and 1931 to 1933 are also detailed. The correspondence forms two groups; the first, 1914 to 1917, includes letters from Earl Beatty (1871-1936), Admiral Tyrwhitt (1870-1951) and Lord Jellicoe (1859-1935); the second group, 194G to 1944, includes those from Admirals Cunningham, Harwood (1888-1950) and Willis (1889-1976). Some notebooks, news cuttings and articles complete the collection.
