This collection comprises results of decades of Jeremy Evans’ horological research, including notebooks, assorted files on specific clockmakers, and a database of horological information extracted from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century newspapers, most notably a complete record of Daily Advertiser from the beginning of the eighteenth century to c.1753.

This series contains prints from microfilms and photocopies of British newspaper extracts mentioning seventeenth- and eighteenth-century watches and watchmakers, compiled and annotated by Jeremy Evans. The newspapers include mainly the Daily Advertiser and other contemporary local papers such as The London Gazette, but twentienth-century catalogues and other publications are also present. Topics include mainly losses or thefts of watches, but also sales of goods, debts, bankruptcies, marriages, deaths, wills, appointments, absconsions, elopements, criminal charges, etc. The files also include some photographs of watches and clocks. Please note that some of the microfilm prints are not easily legible and in a few cases Jeremy Evans' attempts to decipher or identify the surnames were tentative, and alterative spellings of surnames are often provided.

This collection comprises material related to the research, writing, laying-out and publishing The Clockmakers of Somerset 1650-1900 and The Clockmakers of Bristol 1650-1900, as well as assorted research papers and ephemera, including but not limited to a collection of photos, copies of deeds, correspondence with owners of clocks including enclosures, and photocopies of archival documents.

The stock/sales books list every clock that went through the business. They record the stock number, date of purchase, description, supplier, cost, repair details (description, repairer, dates and cost), total cost, retail price, date sold, sales price and buyer's name and address. The unique stock number given to every item consists of a three- or four-digit month and year tag, followed by a sequential number.

These albums contain images of clocks which went through the business, together with typed "descriptive tickets", i.e. one-page detailed descriptions of the clocks and their cases, dials and movements, prices, as well as biographical notes about the makers and references to published sources. Some clock photographs are included without the descriptive tickets, and conversely, some descriptive tickets do not have accompanying photographs, which are often annotated as having been lent to various individuals or institutions.
