The fonds consists of correspondence, memoranda, minutes, publications, and scrapbook that well documents the lifespan and workings of the CIC. The papers of the Committee for an Independent Canada (CIC) consist of correspondence, policy papers, speeches, photographs and other organizational related material. For the most part the collection consists of the files of the CIC's national offices in Toronto and Ottawa. It is important to keep in mind when approaching the collection that the CIC was not a traditional hierarchical organization. The CIC was a series of efforts by various individuals and groups of people under the collective banner of a Committee for an Independent Canada. Since the national office partially functioned as a clearing house for the CIC's diverse, and national activities, the files within the collection give an excellent cross section of those activities. The CIC collection is divided into four series: National Office Correspondence and Subject files; John Trent Correspondence and Subject files; Alpha-numeric files; and Audio and Visual materials. There is also a documentary film featuring the CIC's first national conference, which largely concerns the intent and ideals of the organization, and a three-hour tape recording of a National Unity Project Steering Committee Meeting on November 5, 1976.
