This ledger was composed to help and guide successive Heads of House Athletics in their work. It contains details about the abilities of pupils and events in which they would do well, or not so well. Additionally it includes information about races and events, such as who won and the awards given. There are also general summaries of the Athletics seasons throughout the file.

This ledger was begun in Play term 1891 by R. R. Campbell (A 1888 - c.1893) and continued by subsequent Heads of House. It gives details of sporting achievements of the House and accounts of matches, lists of those who received the House colours and pinks, names of boys who have left and arrived, the names of monitors and anything else the Heads thought interesting or noteworthy of recording. Early entries include lists of all the fellows in the House. At the beginning of the volume is a short history of Ashburnham House prior to its separation from Homeboarders House in 1891. There is also a list of Heads of House and monitors and Housemasters at the front of the volume. Stuck in throughout the volume are House Lists.

This series of postcards depicts scenes from around Westminster School. They were numbered by R.S. Chalk (OW), who penned the following note regarding the series in 1976:

"Westminster School Postcards c.1911
(Purchased up Suts. c.1923)
1,2 - Staff
3-12 - School & Busby Library etc.
13-19 - College
20 - 25 Ashburnham & Library
26-31 - Yard, Rigaud's, Grant's
32-33 - Dean's Yard
34-36 - College Hall
37,38 - Science Labs
39-44 - Fields and Gym
45-47 - O.T.C.
48 - Carpenter's Shop

It would seem 9 of the original 57 p.c.s are missing. These included (i) Interior of Suts (alas!); (2) Art School (memories of incredible character W. Kneen); (3) Ashburnham Staircase (? two); (4) Fields); also perhaps a second view of College Garden
R.S.C, 1976"

Chalk annotated the back of the postcards he had in his possession. These annotations are included in each record for which they are present.
Each postcard in this series is marked 'Westminster School Series AFB' on the reverse. While the meaning of 'AFB' is uncertain, it is possible it may refer to the initials of the photographer, who is potentially a College John named Arthur Brown. This speculation is drawn from information included in Chalk's captions.
