(2) Supporting material:

• Photocopies of ten letters to his mother (in French) and sister Mrs Elizabeth Throckmorton, Sept 1821 - April 1837

A collection of lecture notes, offprints, a report on 'Colossus', 2 photographs, and the speech he gave at the lunch to mark his 50th year as a Fellow. Collected from his room in College by the Archivist after his death to create this collection.

The collection contains some of Simon Barrington-Ward's letters, articles, sermons, and Christmas cards (sent to Ronald Hyam). There is a file about his appointment as Bishop of Coventry and a biographical file which includes his obituary.

Diaries of Robert Broadbent who was an undergraduate at Magdalene College between 1928 and 1933 (the diaries start just before his arrival in College (Jan 1928) and run on after he has left (Dec 1933) and there are further entries for May 1934).

The diaries are in six volumes, one per year. There is also a shortened and edited version entitled Myself when Young, 1928-1933 which Broadbent completed for the College in 1980. There are three appendices:
(1) Principal characters
(2) Last days in India, 1947 based on letters to his wife
(3) one term's accounts as an undergraduate

There is also a copy of the address given at his funeral in 1989.

The diaries throw light on Cambridge and College life for an undergraduate of the period. He meets A.C. Benson, Fr R.H. Benson, Jim Butler, Rupert Brooke, Charles Sayle, and Frank Salter. His main friends are C.R.D. Lumby, (off and on) George Mallory, and some Old Reptonians. He is keen on antiquarian books, rowing and Union debating. He and Lumby explore the College Old Library, and undertake some cataloguing [see esp. MCPP/VEC/1/2 page 53 (17 Feb 1908)]. He goes to some history lectures and Conservative Party meetings, and takes some Sunday School classes. His days are regularly punctuated with invitations to breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and coffee; he 'keeps' compulsory Chapels, and the occasional 'Albi' (i.e. visits to the Master's Lodge). He is a member of the Marlowe Society, the Kingsley Club, the Carlton Club, the "Pepys Society" (a literary group including Keable and Grimble). He knows how to evaluate sermons, prints and furniture.

C.S. Lewis was appointed the first Professor of Medieval & Renaissance English at Cambridge and moved from Magdalen College, Oxford, to take up the position in 1954. He was made a Professorial Fellow of Magdalene College in 1954, and he had rooms in First Court. He was made an Honorary Fellow in 1963 and died on 22 November 1963. A Memorial Service was held in the Chapel..

He described his move as a 'great success' and described Magdalene in the following terms:
‘My new college is a smaller, softer, more gracious place than my old. The mental and social atmosphere is like the sunny side of a wall in an old garden'; ‘A tiny little place … but a perfect gem architecturally and (I think) much more congenial socially and spiritually.’

See Walter Hooper (ed)., Collected Letters, 3 vols. (2000-2006), esp. Vol. III 'Narnia, Cambridge & Joy, 1950-1963'.
In addition to the letters in this archive, Hooper prints his ‘Easter hymn’ (F/FT/3); a letter about Canon Tibbats; and a letter about the possible deposit of Kipling’s papers in the College (p. 1261, 4 May 1961).

For other letters of College interest, see W.H. Lewis (ed) Letters of C.S. Lewis , p. 289 (Lady Willink's death), p. 293 (unexpurgated Pepys), and p. 308 (Hon. Fellowship).

Most of C.S. Lewis's papers are held in the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

This collection consists of records relating to George Mallory's time whilst he was a student at Magdalene College, a few from his time at school at Winchester College, and from his career post Magdalene as a schoolmaster at Charterhouse.

The bulk of the collection is made up of letters written between him and his wife Ruth from the time of their engagement in 1914 until his death on Everest in 1924. The collection also contains the three letters found on his body in 1999.

The collection does not contain any original photographs although there are a number of copies which can be used for reference but cannot be reproduced without the prior consent of the copyright owner.

There is also a biographical file containing articles and other secondary sources about Mallory - see MCHR/1/MALLORY

A substantial collection of correspondence, books and memorabilia, photographs, slides and audio-visual materials, drafts for books, lectures and poems, bequeathed to the College; together with the diaries of Dorothea Richards, which run from 1912 to 1986. The main archival collection is in 62 boxes and 50 notebooks. There is also a notable collection of Chinese scrolls, for which a special scrolarium table was constructed after the bequest came to the Old Library . Although many books and papers were removed and destroyed, or lost in flooding, during the lifetime of the donors, what remains gives a comprehensive representation.

The original site covered the area of First and Second Courts but not the land between the south range of first Court and the river or up as far as Chesterton Road.

In 1428 Abbot Lytlington of Crowland Abbey was licensed by Letters Patent of King Henry VI to acquire the site so that a hostel could be established in Cambridge for student monks from Benedictine houses (Crowland, Ely, Ramsey, and Walden) to live whilst studying in Cambridge. They were over the river and so away from the temptations of the town.

John de Wisbech, Abbot of Crowland, planned First Court and began by building the Chapel in the North Range between 1470 and 1472. The Hall was built in 1519 by Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham.

In 1542 Lord Audley persuaded the King to re-found Buckingham College as the College of St Mary Magdalene but he died two years later having contributed nothing to the buildings. At the time of his death First Court was not finished and was partly open to the street on the west side. Audley’s successor was the 4th Duke of Norfolk who promised, in 1564, to help finish the Court but was put in the Tower of London in 1568 and executed in 1572. The West Range and Gatehouse were finally finished in 1584 thanks to the generosity of Sir Christopher Wray.

The building and developement of the College was affected by lack of money. In the 17th century it took a long time to raise the funds to build what is now the Pepys Building. Nothing more was built during the 18th century although internal changes were made to the Chapel. In the 19th century only a very plain Master’s Lodge was built.

The College's fortunes were revived by A. C. Benson (Master, 1915-1925) who left his mark everywhere - his initials can be seen in 20 places around College. The improvements lead to an increase in the number of students and Fellows andthis in turn lead to a programme of modernisation which was carried out between the 1950s and the 1970s. In 1990 it became possible to commercially develop the Quayside and in 2005 Cripps Court was built. The most recent building to be opened (2021) was the new Student Library.
