The fonds consists of nine scrapbooks kept by Lucy Maud Montgomery during the 1890s and early 1900s. One is devoted to articles she wrote for the "Halifax Echo" while the others contain poetry, articles and short stories written mostly by herself but including some work by others. Two personal scrapbooks contain more miscellaneous items such as programs, wedding invitations, tickets, cards, timetables, pictures, notes, and articles about herself. Some items are annotated by the author.
