The fonds consists of documents, ephemera, memorabilia, photographs, cassette tapes, video reels, and electronic media relevant to the personal and professional history of Timothy Porteous. The scope predominately covers the period from 1957 to 1987, and includes the speeches that he wrote for Prime Minister Trudeau, diaries and ephemera from his travels (both personal and professional), campaign memorabilia, personal diaries and scrapbooks, letters, photographs, My Fur Lady ephemera (including first drafts and other versions), and his work with the CC, CCA, and OCA.

This fonds is divided into four series. The first series contains his personal papers, the second materials related to his career, the third contains materials created when he was a student, and the fourth contains anything related to My Fur Lady.
