The collection presents several examples of Clarke’s writing, including his original proposal for a geostationary communications satellite in 1945 and a personal letter accompanying promotional papers from the B.I.S.

Clarke wrote to the editor of the Wireless World magazine in 1945 with a proposal for geosynchronous satellites. An expanded proposal was published in article form less than a year later in the magazine. The collection hosts both issues of Wireless World.

Clarke’s letter was posted in 1946 and signed “Flight Lieutenant A. C. Clarke.” In the letter, Clarke writes about radar work after the War, attacks Robert Farnsworth—of US Rocket Society fame—and mentions two science fiction stories “…coming up in ASTOUNDING!” These stories, Loophole and Rescue Party are also available in the collection.

The collection also hosts Clarke’s first non-fiction book, Interplanetary Flight An Introduction To Astronautics, in both its British and U.S. first editions (in Catalog D · Prelude to Sputnik).
