Series consists of materialdocumenting Norman Atkins' involvement in federal politics and can be divided into two major periods: up to and including the 1983 leadership convention, and the 1984 election and after. The early period was a time in which Atkins was more involved in provincial politics with occasional forays into the federal realm.

The 1965 material illustrates Atkins' first serious attempt at campaign management for Dalton Camp's Don Valley campaign and these techniques and people would later provide the basis for the "Big Blue Machine". The 1967 leadership convention records relate to the effort by Camp and others to elect Robert Stanfield as the new party leader. The later election records demonstrate how Atkins developed national contacts that would be of use for the 1984 and 1988 campaigns.

The records consist of correspondence, campaign binders, memoranda, campaign advertising and ephemera, schedules, and polling data.

Included in horizontal storage: various election posters, mock ups, inserts, and clippings, containers 17 to 19.
