The collection consists of correspondence, diaries, cuttings and drawings of General Feilding. They deal with his visit to Australia and New Zealand in 1871-72 to select land for the Colonists' Land and Loan Corporation; his visit to Queensland in 1881-82 to advise on a railway from Roma to Point Parker; and the work of the Transcontinental Railway Syndicate. There is also a diary of Charlotte Feilding on a trip to Canada, New Zealand and Singapore in 1894-95.
