The fonds is comprised of microfilms of the Virginia Woolf manuscripts from the Monk's House papers at the University of Sussex. Woolf's fiction and essays are well represented, with an emphasis on lesser-known works. Much manuscript material relates to unpublished or posthumously published work and includes fragments, drafts and re-workings. There are biographical sketches of childhood and contributions to Molly MacCarthy's Memoir Club (members would meet to read their reminiscences aloud). A sizeable collection of notebooks includes Woolf's notes for Pointz Hall (later Between the Acts), Mrs Dalloway and A Room of One's Own, and fragments of stories. Unpublished essays include a typescript chapter of Reading, an unfinished book. Better-known works are represented by notes for and related to Three Guineas, and drafts of Woolf's biography of the artist and art critic Roger Fry.
