The fonds consists of 7.4 metres of textual records organized into three sub-series: Business Files; Research and Publication Files; and White Pass and Yukon Route Records. The contents of the sub-series include historical research files, speeches, correspondence, White Pass & Yukon Route letterpress books, ledgers, certificates, drafts and final copies of White Pass: Gateway to the Klondike manuscript, publications and journals. The publication of his book created many of the historical research files, related correspondence files, and production notes. The graphic materials are organized into three series: White Pass & Yukon Route Photograph Albums, 1898-1899; George Black Photograph Albums, 1898-1965; and William D. MacBride Photograph Album, 1900-1952. There are black and white and colour photographs, some with negatives, and colour slides by Roy Minter or commissioned by Roy Minter. Also included are maps, posters, calendars, press releases, and other corporate promotional material, original artwork and technical drawings by R. Minter, production notes, research, and correspondence concerning films and audio visual presentations created by Mr. Minter.
