The earliest material dates from 1853 and consists of family letters and papers relating to residences. The bulk of the copying covers financial records, including cash books, accounts, cheque book stubs, vouchers and correspondence, for the period 1889-1902 when the Hopetouns resided in Australia, dividing their time between the Government Houses in Sydney and Melbourne. In addition, there are scrapbooks and sketches of Australian tours, 1887-1891, 1900-1902, and family letters & papers including some from the Royal Family. Correspondents include J.F. McCarron, Lord Kintore, Lord Knutsford and the Prince of Wales. Newspaper cuttings, 1901-1902, are also included.
