Fonds consists of records created by Campbell during the periods in which he held public offices for Canada and the province of Ontario. Includes two letters from Sir John A. Macdonald: 28 October 1870, on patronage; and, 19 November 1884, on the boundary dispute with Ontario, conditions in England, honours, and the appointment of a Parliamentary Librarian (6 pages).

There are microfilmed records consisting of general correspondence and memoranda dated 1869-1892, received by Campbell as a cabinet minister and lieutenant-governor. Includes three items dated earlier than 1869. Pages of a typed calendar are interspersed with the correspondence so that there is a page of calendar between about every 25 letters. Undated letters are placed at the end. Following this correspondence are memoranda, dated 1855, 1858, and 1867 which relate to the early legal practice of Sir John A. Macdonald, Campbell's first partner, and which relate to land reform, mail service to Australia, and railways. This material is located on microfilm reels M-19 to M-26.
