The fonds consists of the manuscript of "Seventy Years of Growing with Canada" (368 p. with name index), a letter from an editor from Pyerson Press, dated 1938, and a photocopy of an article on Zephirin Malhiot. The manuscript is the autobiography of Mr. Malhiot, from his childhood spent on his parents' farm in Becancour, where he learned French traditions, up to 1927. His memories cover both the technical and the political aspects of building railways and energy stations in Canada at the end of 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.
