The second series is divided into three subseries: Articles and Interviews, Literary Criticism, and Bibliographies.

The first subseries consists of correspondence regarding articles on and interviews with Stoppard, in some cases accompanied by typescripts, and printed articles and interviews, all ranging in date from 1966 to 1999. Also included are an outline, draft, and proofs of Mel Gussow's as well as a typescript of which was designed as part of a touring educational program sent by the University of California to various university campuses in the United States.

The second subseries contains typescripts of books by Jim Hunter and other critical works, while the third subseries is made up of bibliographies by David Bratt, Corinne George, and Kimball King.

The third series is also divided into three subseries: General Correspondence; Political, Human Rights, and Charitable Organizations Correspondence; and Declined Proposals. Correspondence was originally maintained in roughly reverse chronological order by date received, which has been retained wherever possible. Most letters have notations, mainly by Stoppard and his secretary, usually Jacky Matthews, regarding the date they were answered, how they were answered, etc. The correspondence is primarily incoming, but some photocopies of letters by Stoppard, usually dictated to his secretary, are also filed here. It should be noted that correspondence regarding particular works may also be found in the Works series. For information about the location of letters by a single correspondent, see the Index of Correspondents.

The first subseries contains letters grouped by date as well as by subject, and consists for the most part of correspondence from people with whom Stoppard worked, as well as translators, journalists, periodical editors, fellow playwrights, and admirers of his work. Letters from Stoppard's agent, Kenneth Ewing of Fraser and Dunlop Scripts, filed with the miscellaneous correspondence, cover the years 1962-87 and follow Stoppard's career from its beginning. Other significant correspondents include Kingsley Amis, Dame Peggy Ashcroft, Ed Berman, Dirk Bogarde, Michael Brandman and others at Brandman Productions, Noël Carr, Michael Codron, E. L. Doctorow, Guy Dumur, Richard Eyre, Lady Antonia Fraser, Michael Frayn, Elisabeth Frink, Shusha Guppy, David Hare, Glynn Boyd Harte, Michael Horovitz, John Le Carré, Ilya Levin, Brian Magee, Trevor Nunn, Laurence Olivier, Harold Pinter, Ned Sherrin, and Kenneth Tynan. Business correspondence with Faber and Faber about Stoppard's books is accompanied by printed dust jackets. Correspondence with and about Václav Havel has been grouped together and includes letters regarding Stoppard's acceptance on Havel's behalf of an honorary degree awarded by Toulouse University in 1984, and a copy of Havel's written for that occasion. Two folders of letters from Stoppard to Anthony C. H. Smith from about 1960 to 1993 complement other Smith correspondence which is located within the miscellaneous correspondence folders.

The second subseries consists of correspondence with various political and human rights organizations with which Stoppard became involved beginning in the 1970s. Among these are Amnesty International, Writers and Scholars Educational Trust (WSET) and its and the Campaign Against Psychiatric Abuse. There is a significant amount of material relating to Stoppard's organization of the Roll Call, or reading of the names of Soviet refuseniks, at the National Theatre in 1986. Stoppard's Czechoslovakia File and Russia File contain correspondence and articles relating to human rights issues and political dissidents in Czechoslovakia and Russia. Additional articles by Stoppard relating to political topics may be found with other articles by Stoppard in Series I. A typescript diary of Stoppard's visit to Russia with a member of Amnesty International may be found in his Russia File. Prints of photographic negatives from Stoppard's trips have been developed by the Center and placed in the collection. Stoppard and his wife Miriam served as patrons of various charitable organizations and made many financial donations through the charitable trusts they established; files relating to those causes are also present.

The third subseries consists of correspondence from individuals and organizations requesting interviews, talks, or financial contributions, or proposing theater or film projects for Stoppard's consideration. Stoppard's original separation of these requests from similar, sometimes accepted, requests found in the miscellaneous correspondence has been retained.

The fourth series includes a continuous run of appointment books and desk diaries from 1980 to 1993, numerous awards and honorary degrees received by Stoppard, legal documents such as passports and birth certificates, memorabilia, and miscellaneous clippings, theater programs and posters, and periodicals of interest to Stoppard. Bank statements dating from July 1967 through December 1974 provide information on various productions around the world. Photographs and drawings of Stoppard, his family, and his associates are also present.

The fifth series contains translations of works by Václav Havel, works by Tony Harrison, Harold Pinter, James Saunders, Peter Shaffer, and A. C. H. Smith, among others. Some of these are accompanied by letters to Stoppard.
