Series consists of typescripts and carbon typescripts of Douglas's poetry, articles and fiction and includes manuscripts of four books, one of which was never published. It also includes manuscripts of Douglas's annual Christmas letter and of a column "Whaletown Roundup" she wrote for the Campbell River Courier newspaper in the 1950s. With the exception of the "Whaletown Roundup" manuscripts, all of the manuscripts, while original copies, are duplicates of manuscripts in the Gilean Douglas Fonds at the University of British Columbia Library. They are retained in the Cortes Island Archives to make Douglas's writings more easily accessible to local researchers.
