Physical condition of the volumes is poor, with some fading of text - particularly towards the end of the sequence.
Each volume has an alphabetical index of recipients of the letters referring the user to the page on which the letter is to be found, but not to the individual letter. A sheaf catalogue for the collection was started by Leslie Townsend but remains incomplete; at present this covers volumes 1-2 only (1885-1888). Information in alphabetical order of recipient, with some subject references; details given are author, date, recipient, (including address, whether a FRS and date of election), summary of contents and volume and page number.
The series was microfilmed between 1975-1977. See Miscellaneous Correspondence (reference MC) which contains corresponding incoming letters sent to the Society.
