The Clarke Papers
The Clarke Papers are Sir William's working papers for 1623/24 to 1666, bequeathed by George Clarke, Sir William's son, to Worcester College, Oxford. These papers, an important primary source for the English Civil War and the Interregnum, were first brought to wide public attention by the historian Charles Harding Firth. He edited and published a four volume selection entitled The Clarke Papers (1891–1901). The papers themselves are 51 bound volumes with a large amount of unbound material. In 2005, the historian Frances Henderson published a new selection of Clarke's working papers taken from the large collection of his writings in shorthand.

That shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,”

You curled the papers from your hair,
Or clasped the yellow soles of feet
In the palms of both soiled hands.”
