The corporate files hold records relating to Canadian Pacific Steamships, Canadian Pacific Airlines, community service projects, reports to the Chairman and President, speeches and public addresses, and business correspondence. Some of his correspondents were G.W. Bourke, C.F.W. Burns, F.D. Chapman, Alan Chippindale, Dr. E.H. Coleman, T.H. Crump, Hon. Charles A. Dunning, H.L. Guy, R.P. Jellett, John H.F. Turner, and R.F.

The historical material includes files on Sir Edward Beatty and Sir William Van Horne; the manuscript of Bonar's 'Canadian Pacific Railway Company and its contributions towards the early development and continued progress of Canada' and research files for that work; correspondence about the company history project including letters from T.H. Crump; reminiscences of the Hon. L.S. Beaubien; company promotional material; and other documents pertaining to the history of Canadian Pacific. In addition, there are photographs of J.C.
