This fonds consists of records created, accumulated and by Ross and Peggie Thatcher focusing primarily on the public side of Ross Thatcher's political career prior to and while he was Premier of Saskatchewan.

The types of records included are newspaper clippings; photographs; photo albums; scrapbooks; slides; certificates of achievement and recognition; correspondence; copies of Ross Thatcher's speeches; Ross Thatcher's 1936 Bachelor of Commerce thesis "The Marketing of Milk" and yearbook; audio cassettes; a 16 mm film and some mementos.
Also included are official portraits of Pierre Elliot Trudeau and Roland Michener, signed by photographer Yousuf Karsh; an official signed family photograph of Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra, Sir Angus Ogilvy and their children; audio recordings of Thatcher's final Speech from the Throne recorded on five long play albums; original political cartoons featuring Ross Thatcher and his Cabinet and audio recording of Ross Thatcher's funeral. Most of the photographs are unlabelled and unidentified, and were taken by a Saskatchewan Government Services photographer.
