Back issues of the newspapers are kept for varying lengths of time. The Library maintains files of newspaper clippings concerning public issues and the activities of the New Brunswick government. Clippings are primarily from four New Brunswick dailies, three of which are in English and one in French. The files are classified by subject. An extensive periodicals collection is maintained, providing an invaluable source of current information.
Back issues are readily available.

Included in this collection are buttons, brochures, posters, and other promotional material in a variety of formats. The larger part of the collection is from the 1980s to the present. It is a non-circulating collection.
