The fonds testifies to the Jesuit presence in several communities in Northern Ontario since 1844.

In addition, the fonds provides information on the Jesuit involvement and interest in setting up schools for the Indigenous children of the region, including the Spanish Residential School, as well as on the history of the region and on the Ojibwemowin language.
