'Addresses' presented by the University of Cambridge, typically to other Universities at their centennial or similar celebrations, are composed, normally in Latin, by the Orator, and presented by an appointed delegate. Loyal addresses (i.e. those to the Crown), and some others, are, in modern times, normally in English.

The archives comprise a wide range of operational records, covering the management and development of premises and grounds, garden planting, gardening advice within and without the University, visitors and Friends, accounts, bequests (including that by Reginald Cory) and staff, as well as papers concerning interaction with the Botany School and botanical research in general.

Cover programme content (conference, lecture, guided garden tours, exhibitions, dinner), venues, attendees and anniversary booklet.

This series - University Registry miscellanea - chiefly consists of compilations of practical use within the administration.
