This series consists of a journal kept by Morrison during two trading journeys from Montreal through the Great Lakes to Toronto, Niagara, Detroit, and Michilimackinac in 1767 and 1769. The journal is a record of Morrison's business transactions conducted during these trips, as well as his day-to-day management of the journey and his team.

The journal was placed in a separate series as it is distinct in form and content from other material in this collection. The journal is a bound volume that contains daily entries with information about weather and travel, as well as accounts, invoices, lists of goods exchanged, and some other notes, including a list of Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) vocabulary. Entries in the journal are in rough chronological order.

This series consists of business and personal correspondence created by and received by James Morrison in his capacity as a trader and merchant. Most of the correspondence is between Morrison and his business contacts in Quebec, Ontario, the Northern United States, and England. Some letters are from family members and contain both business and personal news, including Morrison's nephew, Samuel Morrison, in Baltimore, Morrison's brother-in-law, Charles LePallieur, who worked as a fur trader in Ontario and the United States, and Morrison's son, Charles Morrison, who travelled to Jamaica in search of work. Many of the letters in this series contain interesting information about the price and availability of various goods, especially wheat, rum, sugar, and molasses.

The letters in the series are grouped by intervals of 5 or 10 years into files of roughly similar size: 1770s (Correspondence, 1771-1776), 1780s (Correspondence, 1781-1789), the first half of the 1790s (Correspondence, 1790-1795), and the second half of the 1790s (Correspondence, 1795-1800). The letters are arranged in chronological order.

This series contains documents related to Noel Noel-Buxton's personal life and financial transactions, created between roughly 1869 and 1948. Includes material related to Buxton's early education, dental health, and the Noel-Buxton Foundation. Also includes photographs and a drawn portrait of Buxton.

The arrangement of the series reflects the structure of the fonds when it was described by McGill archivists. This may reflect the original order or may be an arrangement that was introduced by Professor H. N. Fieldhouse, who acquired the fonds for McGill and spent many years conducting research in it. 

This series contains drafts of various biographical works and other writings dating from roughly 1914-1953. Includes Noel Noel-Buxton's autobiography, a tribute to Noel Noel-Buxton by one of his sisters, a biography of their father Sir Thomas Fowell Buxto

This series contains documents related to the Hall family's public and private life. The documents date from approximately 1739 to 16 April 1859 and were created while members of the Hall family were living in Germany, the United States, and Canada. The documents in the series reflect the Hall family's participation in religious, masonic, and military organizations and includes certificates, official correspondence, a manuscript and a recipe.

The documents in this series were those that did not fit easily into the other series of the fonds. Files in this series are grouped by activity and are arranged in rough chronological order.

This series contains financial and legal documents created by or on behalf of members of the Hall family between approximately 1719 and 1912. The documents in the series were predominately created in Montreal, Hinchinbrooke, and Quebec City, with some documents created in New England. Documents include accounts, receipts and invoices, loans, power of attorney, land surveys, wills, inventories of estates, a marriage contract, and other documents.

This series contains correspondence between members of the Hall family and their extended family members from approximately 1742 to 1899. Letters were written predominately from New England (especially Philadelphia and Andover), Quebec City, and Montreal. The contents of the letters chiefly concern family news (including deaths and births), with some letters related to business, political and military events, and genealogy.

The correspondence in the series is grouped into a file for each family member represented - usually the creation of the letters, though some files also contain letters they received. There is also a file of correspondence related to family legacies and genealogy, as well as a file of miscellaneous letters, created by senders who were unidentified or who only appeared once in this series. The files in this series are arranged in approximate chronological order.

This series contains personal diaries kept by Christina Barbara Hall, Benjamin Hall, and Charlotte Hall between 18 October 1795 and 8 May 1886. Christina Barbara Hall's diaries were written while she lived in Andover, Massachusetts, and in Montreal, Quebec. Benjamin Hall's diaries were written from Montreal and during a trip to London, England. Charlotte Hall's diary was written while she lived in Montreal. The diaries chiefly concern weather, news of family and community members, as well as occasional remarks about politics.

Each diary (or set of loose pages) was allocated a separate file because of the size and/or fragility of the volumes, and to maintain consistency within the series. Files in the series are arranged in chronological order. Diaries are mostly bound volumes, though Benjamin Hall's diaries are loose pages.
