The series consists of research correspondence, family pedigrees, genealogical research notes, newspaper articles, and obituaries for the Powell and Dewar lines as well as those of inter-married families. Robert Powell compiled extensive genealogical notes for members of the Powell, Torrance, Proudfoot-Hurd, Cassels, Hughson-McBean-Curry, Dewar, Merritt, and Rousseau families. The series also holds biographical material for William Dummer Powell (1755-1834), Dr. Grant Powell (1779-1838), Grant Powell (1819-1904), Dr. Robert Henry Wynyard Powell (1856-1935), and Montagu Powell (1884-1933), and other Powell family members.

There is a significant number of files relating to the Rousseau Project, a genealogical society developed to research Jean-Baptiste Rousseau, the first permanent European settler of what is now Toronto. Robert and Louise Powell expressed great interest in the Rousseau Project as Louise was a descendant of Rousseau.
