The collection consists of both Leal's own photographs and those he collected. There is a large number of portrait photographs which are arranged by surname but are undated. There are also a number of personal photographs which are listed by date (1937-1953) and topic and include such subject matter as the royal visit of King George to Kingston in 1939, some World War II activities, social events of the Canadian Locomotive company as well as collected photographs of air races, 1928-1930. There are also a number of commercial business photographs.
The collection consists of pictures taken by an unknown photographer, or photographers, in Kingston and the surrounding area, around the turn of the twentieth century. The photos show local landmarks such as Kingston City Hall, Kingston homes, Kingston Mills, Martello Towers and Jones Falls. Also included are photographs of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, men, horses and guns. Steam vessels such as the Rideau Queen, the Toronto and even pleasure sail boats, ice boats and quite a number of pictures of canoes and canoeists are included along with pictures taken at or near the Kingston Yacht Club. There are many pictures of as yet unidentified individuals in various poses including family scenes, picnics and fishermen. Another sizable lot of pictures were taken away from Kingston at various sites that have yet to be identified. One series were shot in what looks like a summer resort area and several others are of cities or a city yet to be identified.
The fonds consists of photographic negatives along with some photographic prints and slides which include photographs of news events, publicity and aerial shots along with pictures of interest to Queen's University. The largest part of this fonds is made up of portraits of Kingstonians, many prominent, and Queen's University Graduates.
The fonds consists of correspondence, press clippings, speeches, articles, diaries, scrapbooks, reports photographs, sound recordings and a large collection of political cartoons. The material covers the period from his earliest American accountancy training in 1923 through his professional career and public career as Auditor General of Canada 1960 to 1973 to his present interests. It is in his role as watch dog and critic of government spending that Mr. Henderson is best known and the major part of the fonds is concerned with this role. Mr. Henderson's frank and articulate comments and criticisms of government expenditures and procedures aroused public interest and conflict with the government, especially that of Prime Minister Trudeau. These aspects are well represented in the fonds, along with Mr. Henderson's significant, but less visible, international accounting work.
