The volume contains correspondence, memoranda, and other papers relating to British policy in the Arabian Peninsula. The papers deal with relations between the countries and territories in the region, including Nejd [Najd], the Hejaz, Transjordan [Jordan], Kuwait, Iraq, Yemen, and the Idrisi state. Matters covered include border delineation, conferences, treaties and agreements, and inter-tribal conflict usually involving the Ikhwan.

Each part includes a divider which gives the subject and part numbers, the year the subject file was opened, the subject heading, and a list of correspondence references contained in that part by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.

The correspondence is mostly interdepartmental in nature and comes from officials at the Foreign Office, Colonial Office, India Office, and War Office. Further correspondence, usually included as enclosures, comes from British political and diplomatic offices in the region, some of the Arab leaders, and representatives of the United States and other European Governments.
