The fonds contains the majority of the drawings and papers of Montreal architect and landscape architect John Schreiber, who was a professor in the School of Architecture at McGill from 1953 to 1987. These documents constitute a rich treasure of original design work, expressed in draughtsmanship of great virtuosity. John Schreiber’s work is an example of the contribution to Canadian architecture and landscape architecture of a generation of Europeans who, leaving that war-shattered continent in the late forties and fifties, found an appreciative and fertile ground for their talents and ambitions in Canada. The two hundred and thirty four projects represented in the Schreiber fonds span half a century of work and are documented in more than four thousand plans and drawings, hundreds of photographs and close to six linear metres of textual files.

"Architectural Drawing, 1831, 1 drawing." There is a perspective of the Tour de St. Jacques in Paris in the archive.

"Dessin architectural, 1831, 1 dessin." Il s'agit d'une perspective de la tour Saint-Jacques à Paris.

The collection has been attributed to John Ralph Murray, based on the clippings that were saved. It is not known if he also compiled them. An assumption has been made that the few earlier clippings from 1875 concerning Charles H. Murray (M.D. -1876) meant that he was a relative of J.Ralph Murray. All the rest of the clippings are from the years 1881-1886. They cover a variety of subjects including examination results, articles concerning the admission of women to the University, the transit of Venus in 1882, reports of societies at McGill or in Montreal and articles from the student newspapers of other universities .

The collection contains a photo album of classmates and Annie Hall, and three diplomas McGill MD, CM 1891, Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons, 1891, and the Quebec College of Physicians and Surgeons 1892.

In between the two lectures is a lecture for the Graduate Studies Course B on World Economic Survey since 1919. In addition there are loose papers which amount to a bibliography of books and periodicals by John Percival Day, a poem "Owed to John Percival Day" written by presumably W.D. Woodhead, a list of names, a list referring to numbers, a blank form from the University Club of Montreal Dec. 1 1938, and a sheet of graph paper with lines drawn in pencil and ink.
