Fonds consists of approximately 10 scrapbook albums containing photographs, sketchings, newspaper clippings, postcards and other memorabilia of Dorothy Hoy's travels in Ontario and to the United States. Scrapbooks focus primarily on Hoy's summer camp activities at various camps in Northern Ontario (Camp Tanamakoon, Camp Minnesing, Camp of the Red Gods) and vacations at resorts in Algonquin Park and the Muskoka region. Other locations featured in her scrapbooks are: Niagara Falls, Huntsville, Toronto, Ottawa, New York and Atlantic City, New Jersey. Also found in this fonds are 29 postcards of Belleville and Ottawa, and one album (C 138-0-0-5) belonging to Victor Staunton of Toronto containing photographs of mining sites, newspaper clippings and maps relating to Porcupine - Kirkland Gold Mines Ltd. Several of the scrapbooks were unbound when they were acquired by the Archives of Ontario and pages may have been mixed together. It is difficult, therefore, to determine the original order of the pages. These pages have been loosely arranged by the archivist according to date and location of the photographs where possible.

Collection consists of 49 photographs including cabinet cards, cartes de visite, an album containing 28 portraits and 3 stereographs. Photographs show formal group and individual portraits of several generations of two prominent families in nineteenth century Ontario - the Baldwins and the Cawthras. Robert Baldwin was a leading Upper Canadian Reform politician and an architect of Responsible Goverment. Photographs in this collection are of the family of Baldwin's son, Robert Junior, and his granddaughter, Elizabeth Mary Baldwin.

Collection also includes an album containing cabinet cards showing descendants of William Cawthra, one of Upper Canada's wealthiest merchants. The album is identified on inside cover as being "from Anthony Adamson".

Collection has been arranged in two series, by family.
