The collection consists of one videocassette of a home movie taken by Alice Clark, memorabilia of World War 1 including photographs of a group of volunteers in Charlottetown and of Jack Allen McDonald, a postcard (1918), and an obituary and notes on Louise F. Dias, nee Stanley, widow of Ernest Muttart, first Canadian casualty in WWI, and two published volumes: Tales of Abegweit by Benjamin Bremner and a partial view booklet of PEI, circa 1900.

The video begins with the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, followed by scenes of the countryside taken from the train on a trip in 1941 from Ottawa to Prince Edward Island. The film contains street scenes of Charlottetown, including Queen Square, as well as shots of Mt. Stewart, Milburn, and the PEI landscape. Some footage takes place at a festival of Scottish games. Persons appearing in the film footage include Alice, Edna Glover, Roger Rousseau, Will and Muriel Cobb.

The collection consists of two copy prints of images of Crosby's Mill. Crosby's Mill was one of many independent small mills which operated in Prince Edward Island in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was in existence at Bonshaw as early as 1841, owned and operated by Andrew C. Crosby. The complex included at various times carding, shingle, saw, and grist mills. For a brief period of time it was even used to generate electricity for a few surrounding residences. One of the copy prints was copied from a photograph taken circa 1890. The other was a photograph taken of a watercolour painting of the Mill in 1917 by C. M. Seaman.

This collection consists of a plan of Murray River south of the river showing the line and property of the railway. The plan also includes names of other property owners and locations of various buildings and businesses.

In April 1871, the Prince Edward Island Legislature approved the Railroad Construction Bill which authorized construction of a railroad throughout the Island. The financial burden of such an undertaking was one of the major considerations for joining Confederation two years later. Somewhat erratic service was provided by the contractors until the railroad was turned over to Thomas Swinyard, Dominion Government Commissioner in December 1874. Trains running according to an established timetable began in April 1875 from Charlottetown to Summerside, Georgetown, and Souris return and from Summerside to Tignish. The branch line to Murray Harbour and intermediate stations was apparently laid around the turn of the century although rail connection with Charlottetown was not established until the Hillsborough Bridge was completed late in 1905. The line was resurveyed in 1915.

The collection consists of four photographs taken on the day following the opening of the PEI Legislature. They are group photographs of the leading public officials, Lieutenant-Governor Marion Reid, Premier Catherine Callbeck, Speaker of the House Nancy Guptill, Deputy-Speaker Libby Hubley, Leader of the Opposition Pat Mella. Also included in two of the photographs is Margaret MacKinnon, first female Aide- de-Camp to the Lieutenant-Governor.

When the first session of the fifty-ninth general assembly of the Prince Edward Island Legislature met in June of 1993, the five principal public officials were all women, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Premier, the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House, and the Leader of the Opposition. The Women's Secretariat of Prince Edward Island was the body responsible for organizing the photo session.
