It includes: records, models and other artefacts and documents relating to, or directly produced by, Thomas Sharp during his lifetime but does not generally include published materials or standard sources, such as local authority council meeting minutes. The material is varied and, occasionally, unique: models of towns, a post-war propaganda movie entitled "When we build again", correspondence with editors and other paper based records.
