Series consists of a miscellany of records attributed to the Clerk of the Executive Council and relating to both state and land activities of his office. The surviving records rarely form complete series and some bear only a tenuous association with the Clerk's stated duties. The records include: correspondence received and sent; oaths of allegiance and of office; records relating to the role of the Clerk's office in managing the leasing and sale of lands; and records, such as the Blue Books of Statistics, accumulated in the Clerk's office for reference purposes.

In the conduct of his duties, the Clerk of the Council prepared and preserved certain records on behalf of the Council and others on his own behalf. Among the latter were entry books of letters and orders sent to other government officials, correspondence received, and registers or logs of work performed and information gathered. The inventories of records preserved and the daily or weekly logs demonstrate the range of responsibilities assumed by the Clerk over time and the nature of assistance provided by his staff in performing those duties. The Clerk or his deputy served as Secretary to committees of Council and special commissions, ensuring a degree of consistency for the record-keeping associated with those bodies.

Record Group 4 (Records of the Civil and Provincial Secretaries, Quebec, Lower Canada and Canada East), series A1, vols. 53-622, may include records the creation and/or accumulation of which would have originally been the responsibility of the Clerk of the Executive Council. However, such records cannot now be attached to the Executive Council of the Province of Lower Canada fonds. As explained in the 1953 published inventory (Public Archives of Canada - Manuscript Division - Preliminary Inventory - Record Group 1, Executive Council, Canada, 1764-1867 ), the Council records included in those volumes were already inter-mingled at the time of acquisition by the National Archives with records of the Civil and Provincial Secretaries for Lower Canada. This inter-mingling is attributed in the 1953 inventory to the fact that for many years the offices of Clerk of Council and Civil Secretary were held in plurality by one individual who, apparently, did not keep the records separate, although there is reason to believe that the inter-mingling is attributable to interference with the records by a later custodian (the Keeper of the Records after 1867 in the Office of the Secretary of State of Canada). Regardless of the explanation, it was recognized in 1953, and is no less true today, that it is not feasible to separate out the records belonging to each office and to attach them to their respective fonds. Therefore, these records have been left described as part of RG 4 and users should consult that fonds.
