| Description | 1, 2. Two field notebooks, one dated 1908 on front cover and signed "WM Calder Ch[rist] Ch[urch] Oxford, the other undated but bundled with the first.
Both notebooks contain pencil transcriptions and drawings of Greek inscriptions. The second (undated) notebook also has sketch maps of find locations. The dated book also contains some loose enclosures, including a letter from the German Classical scholar Hermann Dessau to Calder at Ankara, dated Berlin-Charlottenburg 1 July 1910, replying to a letter from Calder and discussing Greek inscriptions.
There is some evidence that the notebooks were revisited at various times: for instance, towards the end of the notebook there is a (later?) note indicating a copied inscription published in MAMA volume I.377. There are also some cross-references to previously published material. The last few pages contain a series of numbers linked to place names (possibly longitudinal readings?).
3. Field notebook, dated 1908 on front cover and signed "WM Calder 180 King St Aberdeen" on the first page. List of places with coordinates on first page, and list of photographs on 3rd page; further topographical lists at end of the volume.. The rest of the notebook contains drawings of inscribed stones and transcriptions, some notes and cross-references, with some later additions. Also various loose inserts:
