Papers relating to Edith Cannon's summer with the Beaver Brigade include a diary, postcards, documents, and notes for addresses about her experiences.

The collection consists of Edith Smellie's diary, a photograph, and notebook "Visiting List." The first section of her diary recounts a trip from Brockville, Ontario, to New York from October 2-10, 1888. She and her companions left Brockville by steamboat and transferred to rail at Morristown. The diary details visiting Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as Macy's and other stores. The final pages of the diary contain calculations and a short list of purchases, including boots, shoes, paints, and collars. A few pages in the diary begin to recount a second trip in 1889, as well as some poems. In addition to the diary is a sepia cabinet portrait by Sheldon & Davis, Kingston. The visiting list contains numbered entries of visitors for 1897, 1898, and 1899. There are also some addresses.

Fonds contains the correspondence between Dr. Edmund Evan Simpson and the Osler Library Librarians, W.W. Francis and Cecile Desbarats, from 1942 to 1964. The fonds contains 21 letters, original and copies.

An Inuit grammar was compiled by Peck during his stay at Wakeham Bay in 1916.

The emphasis of the Maxwell archive is the period from William Sutherland's entry into his brother's firm as a partner until Edward's death in 1923. This period is marked by the firm's most ambitious projects which combined Edward's Late Victorian Romanticism with William's Beaux-Arts inspired classicism, with distinctive results. The Montreal-based firm continued to generate buildings for its influential local clients among whom were Charles Hosmer, Henry Vincent Meredith, James T. Davis and the Ross family. The brothers' more substantial non-residential projects, and their most enduring, include the additions and alterations to the Château Frontenac in Quebec City, the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina, and locally, the Montreal High School and the Church of the Messiah.

Le fonds Maxwell témoigne essentiellement de la période au cours de laquelle Edward et William Sutherland furent associés, soit jusqu'au décès d'Edward en 1923. C'est de cette période que datent les projets les plus ambitieux du cabinet, où se trouvent conjugués le romantisme de la fin de l'ère victorienne dont s'inspirait Edward et le classicisme dérivé des Beaux-Arts qui marquait le style de William. Le cabinet, établi à Montréal, réalisa de nombreux projets pour le compte de clients prestigieux, dont Charles Hosmer, Henry Vincent Meredith, James T. Davis et la famille Ross. Au nombre des projets non résidentiels les plus importants, signalons les annexes et rénovations au Château Frontenac (Québec), le Parlement de la Saskatchewan à Régina et, à Montréal, Montreal High School et Church of the Messiah.

The fonds consists of a scrapbook containing photos, ephemera, and clippings related to the McGill graduates athletic club, Winter Carnival, and copies of the McGill News, approximately 1947. In addition, there is a photograph of Convocation (May 22, 1946), a cardigan sweater and a MOC patch.
