Foucault and the History of Sexuality
The other one which I did work on a much more closely was the early drafts of parts of the history of sexuality by instance to three. You can see various iterations of each chapter in the archive and how Foucault reshaped and reworked material. He would cut a slip of paper from one typed page, glue it onto a new sheet, glue another passage later and then right by hand the linking passage between the two. So that for me was a really interesting insight into his working practices. As yet we have very little of other books but I suspect there are still traces of those in the archive too.
