This sub-series consists of textual records documenting Ed Broadbent's political activities as Member of Parliament for Oshawa-Whitby (1968-1979), Oshawa (1979-1990) and Ottawa Centre (2004-2006), and as Leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP) from 1975 to 1989.

This sub-series contains mostly correspondence, campaign material and speeches devoted to the successive election campaigns. It contains correspondence between Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Ed Broadbent from 1980 to 1982 that reveals the conditions under which the latter accepted Parliament's project for the Patriation of the Constitution and the creation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom. One letter from Trudeau informs Broadbent that he is to be sworn in as Member of the Privy Council in recognition of his role "as Leader of the third party in the House of Commons and as an active participant in the patriation debate". This sub-series also contains notes for speeches, campaign notes, newspaper clippings and news releases by the NDP during the 1980 election and the 1984 election. Notes and opening remarks from the 1984 election and the 1988 election Leaders debates are to be found in this sub-series. The sub-series also contains files of correspondence, notes and speeches surrounding the debates on the Meech Lake Accord and Ed Broadbent's leadership in 1988-1989. It also contains Ed Broadbent's 1989 resignation letter as the leader of the NDP.
