Student and travel notebooks;

The notebooks contain notes made by Gareth Jones. The earliest ones were kept while he was a student at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth and Trinity College, Cambridge, and are mainly linguistic in character. Later notes are often political commentaries and observations on international developments - in Europe, America and Russia. There are also many travel notes commenting on the countries where he travels and the people whom he meets. Some were kept while Gareth Jones was in the employ of David Lloyd George, based at Churt, and acting as a researcher for the compilation of Lloyd George's War Memoirs.

Russian notes

Notes, addresses and interviews related to the Soviet Union, mostly in French. At the start of the notebook there are notes including a reference and instructions to go to Kharkoff from Samuel N. Harper, a Russia expert who had returned from USSR in late October 1932 and who met Sir Bernard Pares and Jones at an RIIA meeting on December 14, 1932. It is believed that the notes were immediately after this meeting. The remainder of the notebook dates from July 1933 and was written in Paris. According to Ray Gamache this diary notebook is actually a very important one in that it establishes with documentation who persuaded Jones to undertake his 1933 trips to Germany and the Soviet Union for his newspaper series, "A Welshman Looks at Europe."
