 At its core is the previously unpublished [[MRP: Correspondence of Sir George Oxenden, 1663-1669| private correspondence of Sir George Oxenden]].<ref>BL, Add. MS. 40708-40713: Private correspondence of Sir George Oxenden, Oxenden papers, vols. 11-18</ref>  The correspondence is contained in letter books held at the British Library.  These letter books are lightly indexed in the British Library online catalogue. They have neither previously been calendarised, nor have they been available in transcribed and annotated form.
-A sense of the range of this correspondence in terms of the letter writers and their locations can be derived from an [[MRP: Alphabet of names|Alphabet of names]] and an [[MRP: Alphabet of places|Alphabet of places]].  Complementing these letters is a substantial corpus of primary legal documentation, drawn from the Court of Chancery, and increasingly from the [[MRP: Admiralty Court cases| High Court of Admiralty]]; together with post mortem inventories and wills proved at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury.
