Apart from a little earlier correspondence about lectures, most of the material relates to 1972-1974 when Kendrew was most deeply involved with the BAAS. In March 1972 he accepted the invitation of the then President (Sir Vivian Fuchs) to allow his name to go forward as President-Elect in 1972-1973 and President in 1973-1974. He was installed at the Annual Meeting in 1973 at Canterbury and gave the Presidential Address at the 1974 Annual Meeting at Stirling. He was also invited, but declined, to accept the Presidency of Section X (General) in 1972-1973.
The principal officials of the BAAS during Kendrew's period of office, with whom much of the correspondence is exchanged, were M. Pyke (Secretary and Chairman of Council), A.M. Hughes, R.P. Saville (Assistant Secretaries).
