The fonds consists of records reflecting some of the activities of the Town of Grande Prairie from 1917 to 1951. The majority of these records are connected most specifically with the office of the Secretary-Treasurer and relate to town governance and finances. The fonds is arranged in four series: Provincial legislation, Financial records, Tax records, and Correspondence files.

The fonds consists of 1 portrait of the 1934 Grande Prairie Town Council, 13 photographs of parades and town landmarks, 1 photograph of Russell with Bob Keyes and Bob Ross, 1 photograph of Al Wright's model aircraft and 1 photograph of Ken Burgess, fireman, in front of the burning rubble of the Donald Hotel; 1 souvenir issue of The Daily Herald Tribune featuring a Grande Prairie High School reunion in 1979; a copy of a program from the fourth Soap Box Derby in Dawson Creek; and an obituary card for Russell Burgess.
