Series documents Audette's career within the civil service. Files relating to Audette's term on the Northwest Territories Council document postwar changes in the NWT, particularly in education, government administration, construction techniques, and the government's relationship with the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Correspondence with Farley Mowat and Bishop Trocellier in these files complement the official record.
Series also include files on Audette's career with External Affairs, the Canadian Maritime Commission and the Tariff Board are of a different nature. Although there is some correspondence pertaining to the creation of the Maritime Commission, these files are largely comprised of personal letters, including requests from family and friends for political favours. Editorial reports prepared by Audette for Customs & Excise are located here, as are copies of speeches given thoroughout his career. The speeches include post-retirement addresses on his involvement with the Maritime Pollution Claims Fund and the Mainguy Commission.
