The first series concern Mr. LeBlanc's activities before entering public life, when he worked as a teacher, a journalist, and press secretary to the Prime Minister (1955-1972); other records highlight his involvement in the Liberal Party of Canada (1968-1997). A number of series concern Mr. LeBlanc's activities as a minister, first as Minister of Fisheries and Environment (1974-1979), then as Minister of Fisheries and Oceans (1980-1982), and then as Minister of Public Works, responsible also for the National Capital Commission and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (1982-1984). One series contains several records concerning New Brunswick and Cabinet committees (1979-1984). Records created in the period when Mr. LeBlanc was a Senator and Speaker of the Senate (1984-1994) form another series, as do those created when he was Governor General of Canada (1994-1999). Lastly, the fonds contains personal records and an extensive collection of letters and photographs.
