The fonds consists of records accumulated by J.D. Anderson that document various activities of the BC Parks system. Fonds includes primarily reports, correspondence, studies, and research materials. This fonds contains records that document general information about the BC Parks system, including legislative materials, inventories, and ministry reports; materials that document the development of the BC Parks system more broadly, including records relating to the Protected Area Strategy and BC Forest Service; park-specific files including records relating to Strathcona and Great Bear Rainforest; administration materials; land trust and acquisition materials; modern context records, and records of the administrative activities that took place in Southern Chilcotin Mountains Park.

The collection consists of published articles and photographs with commentary by Peter M. McAllister concerning the Great Bear Rainforest Campaign which began in 1990 to protect what is now called the Great Bear Rainforest, a temperate rainforest of approximately 64,000 km2 on the North-Central Coast of British Columbia.
