This collection is distinct from the Pepys Library. It contains reference material relating to Pepys from the seventeenth century to the present day, the first transcription of his diary from the 19th century, and printed books (the latter being catalogued on the University of Cambridge's Library catalogue, 'idiscover').
Any records of the Pepys Librarians held by the college are in the 'Personal Papers' collection. Please see a list of former Pepys Librarians below (with an accompanying reference code to their personal papers if applicable).
