Âmbito e conteúdo
Series consists of correspondence acquired with Archives 1 and 2. (It should be noted, however, that correspondence continues to be acquired). The scope of this series is vast both in terms of the time period covered and the topics and correspondents featured. The letters range from Russell’s teen years to the last year of his life. While the series is called ‘personal’ correspondence to distinguish it from his more ‘political’ correspondence featured in the 300, 500 and 600 series, as well as his publishing (400) and legal (800) correspondence, it touches on all aspects of his life, including philosophy, peace, social issues, love affairs and family matters.
Included is correspondence with Russell's wives Alys (Pearsall Smith) Russell, Dora (Black) Russell, Patricia (Spence) Russell, and Edith (Finch) Russell; Russell's children, Conrad, John Conrad, and Katharine (Tait); the wives of his brother, Frank; and Russell's lovers, Ottoline Morrell and Constance Malleson.

Some of the letters received have been annotated by Russell. In many cases, carbon copies of Russell’s outgoing letters are included; in more recent years, copies of Russell’s replies were typed on the verso of the original letters received. In a few cases, there are also original letters written and sent by Russell that found their way back to him or the archive--for example, those written to Margaret Llewelyan Davies and Lucy Donnelly.

Organização
The bulk of the series is arranged in two alphabetical sequences by name of correspondent: Archives 1 (boxes 5.1-5.58) and Archives 2 (boxes 10.47-10.52), which correspond with BRACERS document number order. In a few cases, letters are grouped and filed under a subject heading, such as ‘China’ in Archives 1, which contains letters and other documents relating to Russell’s trip to China with his future wife, Dora Black. The family correspondence is arranged alphabetically by correspondent in boxes 8.1-8.2 and 8.7-8.25. Finally, the correspondence between Russell and Ottoline Morrell (boxes 2.37-2.70 and 2.72-2.74) is arranged chronologically in three groups: (1) Russell's incoming correspondence, (2) Russell's outgoing correspondence, and (3) typed transcripts of Russell's incoming correspondence.
