The Robert Fortuine fonds consists of Fortuine’s diaries for the period August 1956 to January 1962. The first eight volumes cover his four years spent in Medical School at McGill; the two additional volumes deal with a year of internship and a residency programme working for the United States Public Health Service on a First Nation Reservation in North Dakota. The final diary (Volume 10) ends after the first few months of his posting to North Dakota.

While the diaries offer a very detailed picture of medical studies at McGill, many of the entries deal with more philosophical matters.
