The series comprises correspondence, financial records, notes, memoranda, brochures, announcements, and other documents relating to Coutts's activities as a prominent collector of art (primarily Canadian) and fine crafts. In addition to documenting Coutts's acquisitions from, and contact with, various galleries across Canada, the series sheds some light on his relationships with individual artists such as Janet Mitchell and Doris McCarthy. The records also touch on the management of his art collection (including donations, loans, and conservation) and his involvement, as a board member, with the American Friends of Canada, an American charitable organization devoted to the promotion of cross-border "artistic exposure."
