1-5 Lists of donations and subscriptions, more especially towards a building fund (Lord Dinorben gave the land). Considerable sums were received from industrial firms in England which had dealings with Amlwch agents and tradesmen.
6-9 Annual Reports, some undated, some in MS., some printed.
10-37 Balloting papers for election of officers and committee (years 1849 and 1856). Very primitive, all written by hand.
38-48 Correspondence, bills, &c., 1837-1839. Letters from Sir Richard Bulkeley and other magnates; from Bishop Bethel and Dean Cotton, enclosing subscriptions. Books for the library were usually bought of Rees, Caernarvon; Shone of Bangor; and Taylor of Liverpool.
49-93 Do. for 1840-1846. Evidence of a desire to gather in a mineral collection (50); delivery of lectures (e.g., Nicander on Ornithology), and as a substitute, the public reading of lectures given by distinguished men elsewhere (see 59). A peripatetic lecturer on Astronomy named Thomas Walker (91,92) had to be turned down, not so much because his terms were too high, but because he threatened to bring 7 cwt. of luggage with him to illustrate his lecture. In papers 49, 53, there are sad references to the distress of the poor in 1840.
