The RPSAG collection consists of 37 A4 files of printed and photocopied documents and seven archival boxes containing 31 bundles of printed A4 pages, newspaper cuttings and manuscript documents. The collection also contains two CD disks and one USB drive. The first part of the archive is largely made of copied material and is not the definitive archive of RPSAG. RPSAG/1 does not contain original records of the group, or the original records of government departments. The core financial and membership records of the group are not yet available and are held by representatives of RPSAG. The selection of documents in RPSAG/1 is however unique, having been assembled and ordered by RPSAG in a way that they believed demonstrated and supported their case. The court case was extremely high profile and controversial and was a key event in the evolution of UK rail management. As well as this the case was discussed in the light of wider issues of government and ministerial openness. The collection as a whole demonstrates how the management of railways is politically significant and how key railways are to the economy of this country. RPSAG/3 and RPSAG/4 contain original records of RPSAG such as correspondence and organisational records such as minutes and financial records. It contains records that demonstrate how the group administered itself and how it sought to gain the support of shareholders. It also contains correspondence from individual shareholders expressing their often emotive views on the actions of the government, including how the situation had affected them personally. The collection demonstrates how a key event in recent railway history had a social impact on many people. Records also include those that cover the PR activities of the group and newspaper cuttings that track the development of the case. These are backed up by records from the website (RPSAG/2). The collection as a whole demonstrates how much attention the group generated and how important the case was to the public.

Compiled by Glyn Moody, the archive comprises 25 box files covering early development of the Internet, with particular focus on the impact of online developments on businesses, and 29 electronic Word 2 files containing an edited selection of 20,000–30,000 news items. The printed material was predominantly compiled to support Glyn Moody's research for his publications and for weekly columns he wrote for the Computer Weekly digital magazine between 1994 and 2000. It concentrates on developments in early Internet history, and includes screenshots of long-removed sites that were never included in the Wayback Machine; printouts of early online manuals to guide Internet users; Usenet postings and directory listings of key servers and gopher sites (Demon's FTP server, for example); printouts of online newsletters and of email conversations with hundreds of the UK's earliest Internet users; a list of every company in the world that provided World Wide Web hosting at that time; original copies of press releases, including announcement of the formation of the London Internet Neutral eXchange (LINX) in September 1994, announcement of Web-in-a-Box Internet solutions from Microsoft, DEC and EMWAC in November 1994, News International's Delphi online service announcing a move to "Internet standards", and an announcement concerning Apple's eWorld online service, which did not adopt Internet standards.

The electronic Word 2 files comprise edited digital materials from early sources on the web, including newsgroups, mailing lists and early web pages. They cover everything from press releases on Internet strategy for companies, announcements of new additions to the web (The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), for example), the launch of new standards for the web, search mechanisms in an era of CompuServe, AOL, MSN and Lycos, and an announcement on the redesign of webpages by the NHM.
