The collection relates to the Morgan family and the Penderry estate, in the parish of Llangyfelach, and litigation over the estate in the early nineteenth century. The papers appear to have been part of the collection of James and Collins, solicitors.

The collection was originally catalogued at University College Library, Swansea, where an interpretation of the original order was made. This catalogue lists the items chronologically under the headings stated in Scope and content.
