The collection contains copies of the Lockerby genealogy written by W. Earle Lockerby as well as the history of the community of Hamilton which he edited. It also contains photocopies of a petition and affidavit from the Scottish Record Office pertaining to the voyage of the "Edinburgh" to Isle St. Jean in 1773; an article by Frank Bigwood from "Kintyre magazine" containing a passenger list for the "Edinburgh"; and a covering letter by Earle Lockerby. The latter gives a new interpretation of the date and circumstances of the arrival of the Woodside and Montgomery families on Prince Edward Island.
