These contain the records of the City of Bristol from medieval times, together with those of other bodies such as the District Councils, Urban and Rural Sanitary Authorities, the Diocese of Bristol, and "Public" records which include those of Quarter and Petty Sessions, County Court, the Coroner, hospitals, as well as shipping registers and crew lists.

There are also records of businesses, trade unions, schools and societies, estate papers of local families, most especially the Smyth family of Ashton Court with their voluminous correspondence dating from Tudor times.
