The collection consists of three documents, which support and supplement data, analysis and discussion published in the project report: S M Hirst and T M Dickinson, 'The archaeology of Bidford-on-Avon: excavations 1970–94', Transactions Birmingham and Warwickshire Archaeology Society, 123 (2021), 1–211. The principal text is a new catalogue of burials and artefacts found before 1971 . This is supplemented by an Excel workbook , containing four spreadsheets (for inhumations, cremations, spot finds and unstratified finds) that tabulate data from both pre-1971 and 1971–1990 burials and finds. An introduction to the pre-1971 burials complements and elaborates the methodological discussion in the published report: it includes a critique of the available sources of information and the problems that they raise for creating a new catalogue, an explanation of the criteria and conventions used in constructing the catalogue, and a bibliography of unpublished and published works cited in the documents in the collection.

The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon cares for the non-digital archives and artefacts from the 1920s interventions, and the Warwickshire Museum, Warwick those from the 1971–94 excavations. A small number of artefacts from Bidford found in the 19th century are located in Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum.
