The series consists of business and legal documents, correspondence, addresses and memoranda, and newspapers. Many of the legal and business documents are concerned with insolvency cases in Montreal, 1841-1875. While most of the material relates to Brown's political activities and business in Canada, some letters relate to the United States, particularly Florida, and its expulsion of Native peoples. The series includes an index of the Vindicator, 4 Nov. 1836 to 7 Nov. 1837, as well as a journal Brown kept aboard the Mary Frances during a sea voyage in 1838.
The series consists of 121 watercolour paintings of birds, created by Elizabeth Gwillim while she was living in Chennai, India (then Madras). The birds were painted from life rather than from the skins or stuffed specimens used by many artists of her day. Many paintings feature their avian subjects within a full landscape. Some paintings contain inscriptions with species identifications and, occasionally, additional observations about the birds.
