The fonds contains over 1,000 handwritten, nineteenth century letters from family members and friends, an impressive selection of an equally large number of his original sermons, a large selection of his biblical commentaries and lecture notes, a few photographs, and a fewer number of materials on the early development of Manitoba College.
The fonds consists of textual material and 82 micro-cassette tapes featuring interviews conducted by Dr. Mary Kinnear with women professionals in Manitoba as research for her books In Subordination: Professional Women, 1870-1970 and A Female Economy: Women's Work in a Prairie Province, 1870-1970.
