The collection currently comprises one three-volume set of Drake's Travels in Italy, written in his own hand, and one two-volume set of Drake's history of York's 'Eboracum' owned by Drake and including handwritten annotations.

The set is written in Drake's own hand, and chronicles his journey from the south of France in November 1750, through to Naples in September 1751. The manuscript itself was written whilst Drake was staying with the Vicar of Womersley.

This two-volume printed edition of 'Eboracum' contains handwritten notes on and additions to the text by Drake and appears to have been his own personal copy.
