The fonds consists of scrapbooks and files of clippings of Albert Edward Todd and a written account entitled "A Summer's Automobile Tour Along the Pacific Coast," dated 1911. The scrapbooks are bound in four large volumes and are numbered Volumes 2 - 5. Volume 1 may refer to the loose clippings in folders (I-VII), which was previously maintained in binders. The scrapbooks consist primarily of newspaper clippings from Victoria newspapers, however personal correspondence, maps, and ephemera are also interfiled. The main subject matter covered by the scrapbooks is transportation, with an emphasis on highways and railroads. Todd was active in Victoria in promoting transportation and tourism. Other subjects include local politics (including coverage of his own political career) and developments and land use in Victoria. Personal and professional correspondence can be found throughout the records. The textual records are from the Old MS collection and are assigned reference codes E/D/T56 (written account) and E/D/T56.1 (clippings and scrapbooks).

Also included in the fonds are 7 b&w photographs mounted on a single cardstock. The photographs were taken along the Pacific Highway pathfinding trip in 1910, made by A.E. Todd and Ada Todd. The pathfinding trip served as their honeymoon after they were married in Los Angeles.
