The fonds consists of personal and business correspondence, will and probate, and a collection of James Dougall letters. Most of the correspondence is arranged chronologically, and is concerned with Stevenson's business affairs and banking transactions. One letter from J. P. Downes, a fellow townsman and militia officer, deals with alarums and excursions on the troubled Niagara frontier in the autumn of 1839. Stevenson's activities on behalf of his constituents are reflected in letters concerning Picton harbour improvement, a pension for a veteran of 1837 and the appointment of a postmaster at Bloomfield. Also included are photocopies of general and business correspondence that are held privately, but were copied and included in this fonds.
Fonds consists of a copy of "Robert Drummond: A Pioneer of the Rideau Waterway," a biographical article of Drummond, a lock builder on Rideau, and a shipbuilder in Kingston; and a copy of "125 Years of Physics at Queen's University, 1842-1967".
The fonds consists of forms, publicity releases, financial records, guides and minutes of Convention Committees relating to the 1968 National Liberal Party Convention. The material provides an invaluable glimpse into the working of a national political party leadership convention in general and the candidacy of a particular politician.
The fonds consists of a set of diaries, virtually complete, spanning forty-seven years, sermons, essays, correspondence, and minutes of church meetings.
Fonds consists of submissions and transcripts of interviews, received as a result of a request for stories, anecdotes, memories, and photographs, pertaining to William Allen ('Dollar Bill'); a compact disc of songs by the folk group 'Tanglefoot', including one track entitled 'Dollar Bill'.
The fonds consists of correspondence, business records and some personal papers. The material is divided into two parts relating to family and business. Included are a number of essays on various current social and religious topics.
