Material relating to Roger Law's professional output, primarily as a magazine and newspaper illustrator, between 1959 and 1975, prior to his working partnership with Peter Fluck. It should be noted that Law's artwork began to be published while he was still studying at the Cambridge School of Art. It should also be noted that in this period Law collaborated with his wife, Deirdre Amsden, either as art directors for publications or working together to make plasticine model illustrations.

This part of the archive has been split into five main sections: original artwork and proofs; magazines, newspapers and other published items featuring Law's illustrations and other professional output; photographic material containing reference shots for illustrations and images of plasticine models, along with other items; research material concerning Law's journalistic output and other associated activities; and items relating to the puppet film, The Milkman: A Satire on Capitalism, made by Law with Amsden and students at Reed College, Oregon. Also present within this part of the archive are awards given to Law by the Designers and Art Directors Association; two boxes of correspondence; and some miscellaneous items.

During this period, Roger Law taught classes at Horsey College of Arts and Crafts and various other educational institutions. However, except for material relating to his residency at Reed College, and items found within the correspondence boxes, this aspect of Law's professional life is largely absent from the archive.

Items connected to one another are often found in the other parts of this section of the archive (e.g. rough drawings for a cartoon strip in the Artwork series and their finished version in the Published Material series).
