George Bernard Shaw bequeathed his literary and personal papers to the British Museum (now Department of Manuscripts, British Library), but he left his "Old Diaries account books Bank pass books paid cheques and their counterfoils expired agreements box office returns and other records of my business operations" to the British Library of Political and Economic Science, intending them to be used by "economic or legal historians or by biographers seeking documentary evidence as to prices and practices during the period covered by my lifetime". The collection was transferred from the British Museum to the British Library of Political and Economic Science in 1960. Further deposits were made by the Public Trustees in 1961 (business papers kept by Messrs Walter Smee and Co, accountants) and 1969 (further relevant material sorted by the British Museum). In 1973 Janet Dunbar gave the Library copies of letters from Charlotte Shaw and photographs of her family. The copies of The California Shavian were given by the Shaw Society of California in 1962. More domestic bills were added to the collection in 1998.
