The sub-series consists of records in digital form relating to Joan Fraser's senate career, including her role as Deputy Leader of the Opposition and the Liberals in the Senate. It includes her political journals; parliamentary and political correspondence; and records relating to the work of senate committees. The political journals, 2001 to 2018, are not a daily diary but rather hold more detailed accounts of special events and political issues, including elections, leadership campaigns, and the removal of the Liberal senators en bloc from the Liberal Party caucus by Justin Trudeau in 2014. It includes correspondence relating to senate matters, including letters to Chris Alexander, Bert Brown, Gérald Comeau, Céline Hervieux-Payette, and Justin Trudeau, among others. There is also party correspondence relating to support for Jean Chrétien, leadership conventions, party funding, the Pink Book, and party membership.

Fraser played a leading role in the Senate Study on the Canadian News Media and the writing of its final report, which appeared in 2006. The sub-series includes notes on the report, the communication plan, notes on key findings for briefings and press conferences, and correspondence with Laurier LaPierre and Jim Munson. The sub-series also holds records on ethics, documenting the Mike Duffy affair and its impact on the Senate, including a timeline, spreadsheets of senate votes on ethics issues, and her personal disclosure documents. There are also memoranda and working drafts of documents relating to the Standing Senate Committee on Rules, Procedures and the Rights of Parliament.
