Papers collated by Harry Secombe, his wife Myra, and their children, kept at the family home in Guildford, Surrey, England. The items were collected during a career spanning over 50 years. In 2021, the family offered the papers to the Library on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Most of the material has been re-boxed. The 17 bound scrap books were digitized by his son David, and copies of the digital images were also sent to the Library in 2023.
