John Wallace Boyes was born on 27 January 1907. He studied at the University of Saskatchewan and at the University of Wisconsin, where he earned his PhD. His career brought him to McGill University following that. He was involved with Council Canada, 1939-1940, and was an assistant professor of genetics at the University of Alberta from 1940-1942. A genetics researcher, he was a member of the American Genetics Association and the International Society of Plant Morphologists, served as president of the International Congress of Genetics, and acted as a consultant for the Montreal Children's Hospital.
The fonds is divided into two series: the first contains lecture notes and coursework from his studies. The second contains professional papers and is divided into two subseries. The first subseries contains records relating to his activities at the University of Alberta. The second subseries contains records generated during his time at McGill University.
