There are a number of letters (1850-1863) to Samuel Brock Durant of Prince Edward Island from his mother Mary Ann Durant (who later remarried to become Mary Ann Goddard) and his sister Elizabeth Durant, both of Plymouth.

There are two letters from Septimus Durant of Castlemain to his mother, one explaining how the bank manager had defrauded him (1860) and another newsy letter of current events (1868). A 1935 letter from Geo. N. Somers, pastor of Margate United Church, confirms the date of birth of Lottie Armenia Durant, while another 1869 letter from John Yeo to Mrs. Durant confirms a package can be shipped to England on his vessel. Also included in the collection is an 1864 store ledger statement for Samuel Durant. Other correspondence (2004, 2005) discusses the collection of letters.

The collection consists of two diaries of Gertrude MacMillan covering 1 January 1910 through 25 May 1910. The diaries are a daily account of rural family farm life. Outdoor chores include cutting and sawing wood, separating milk, thrashing, slaughtering pigs, and hauling manure. Helena "Wilhelmina" (Gertrude's younger sister) and Florence Coffin (her cousin who lived with the family) went to school, but Gertrude stayed at home and her diary records homemaking tasks such as baking and sewing. Gertrude also recounts visitors' names, passersby, pedlars, mail delivery, and purchasing household supplies and foodstuffs. Other than a sprained ankle, the only mention of Gertrude being ill is a sore eye on 25 May 1910, the last diary entry. The collection also includes a name key (to identify people mentioned in the diaries), two portrait photographs (one of Gertrude and one of her parents and sister) and two newspaper clippings regarding Gertrude's death in 1910.

This photograph [ca. 1910] depicts an unidentified procession along the water at Victoria Park in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Some of the men in the procession are wearing tartan sashes and tams, others top hats. The three men leading the procession are carrying bagpipes, and musical instruments can be seen further back in the crowd. A number of people appear to be walking alongside, but slightly apart from, the actual procession.

The fonds contains photocopies of records from David Rogers' Dunk River Mills, including a ledger (ca. 1868-1887), three daily logs (1889-1893; 1895; 1895-1896), and miscellaneous newspaper articles and other papers from inside the ledger (ca. 1901, 1912, 1914). The ledger names the mill customers, prices and the products milled for them, such as wool, oats, flour, boards, shingles, etc. The later handwriting and agricultural newspaper articles pasted into the ledger were put there by Frank Lawson Cairns (1895-1964) of Lower Freetown, grandson of David Rogers. The daily logs hold rough notes about mill orders and payments. These transactions were likely recorded in the log books in the course of daily business activities at the mill, with the intention that they later be transferred into the bound ledger.
