The fonds consists of microfilm of the Duckworth collections held by the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador, the National Archives of Canada, and the Queen's University Archives, which were jointly microfilmed in 1977 and 1980. The collections were identified on the microfilm by the institutional stamps of the Newfoundland Archives and of the National Archives on the documents belonging to each, while the photocopies of the material belonging to Queen's Archives bear the hand printed letters Q.A. In the finding aid, the initials PAC and QUA respectively are used to distinguish the small number of documents from the two latter repositories from the main body of material derived from the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador, which is not specially identified. Series consists mainly of official papers, 1810-1812, relating to Duckworth's period as Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Newfoundland. There are also a few earlier papers dating from the governorship of Duckworth's predecessor in Newfoundland, Admiral Holloway, and from Duckworth's previous service in the West Indies, as well as a very small number of miscellaneous private papers which derive from periods before and after Duckworth's Newfoundland command. The material is arranged in six main sub-series. The fonds also includes a small amount of original correspondence on naval affairs, letters from Admiral Duckworth to Lady Duckworth and returns by ships in his fleet, March 1809.
