The collection consists of a map of Charlottetown and a road map of Prince Edward Island. Both were issued by the PEI Travel Bureau in the 1940s.

Prior to 1940, the Prince Edward Island Travel Bureau existed more or less as a voluntary organization financed by public subscriptions and a grant from the PEI Government. On 2 January 1940, the Travel Bureau was taken over and operated as a Department of the Provincial Government. In the 1950s the Department name was changed to the Tourist and Information Bureau and in 1960 changed to the Department of Tourist Development.

The fonds consists of background documents and plans which were used by consultants StellingKelly and Jacques Whitford in the process of developing an official plan for the proposed amalgamated City of Charlottetown in the mid 1990s. The textual documents include previous planning studies for the City of Charlottetown as well as the official plans and some by-laws for the surrounding communities of East Royalty, Hillsboro Park, Parkdale, Sherwood, West Royalty and Winsloe. Plans include earlier zoning maps of Charlottetown and the surrounding communities as well as a street map of Charlottetown, a map titled the "New City of Charlottetown", maps of existing (November 1996) and future land use (April 1997) and a second draft of a zoning by-law map, drawn in April 1997.
