The fonds is incomplete, and consists of a limited selection of records documenting the activities and functions of ACTS.

The fonds consists of records that document the founding, activities, and functions of the Association, including correspondence, minutes, newsletters, financial reports, lists of members, copies of the constitution (1990 and revised June 10, 1993) and two copies of "Some thoughts on the raison d'etre and aims of our theological society," by Doug Harink, October 1989.

The fonds consists of house chronicles (1980-1990); correspondence from several Sisters involved with ministries in Chile, a travel diary of a Sister passing through Bolivia to follow courses preparatory to working in Chile, newspaper articles, subject and reference files.

The photographic collection includes images of the mountains, villages, cities, parishes, and people of the areas where the Sisters from St. Josephs Province ministered or traveled. The album was assembled by Sister Merita Ward, who also organized into scrapbook form various memorabilia of her stay at the language school in Cochabamba, Bolivia, where she prepared for ministry in Chile.

The fonds consists of house chronicles, local council minutes, registers for local receipts and expenses; school policy booklet, year books, Newswheel, professional publications, newspaper articles, Order of Truck Rollers information, reference and subject files.

The collection consists of b&w photos of the ongoing construction of the school, action shots of the workers, student activities: picnics, proms, graduations, travels. Events recorded by Kenneth Stone form a major part of the 4 cm of pages of transparencies. Coloured photographs of some of the Copper Valley School Association annual alumni/ae reunions add to the collection.

The fonds consists of seven sous-fonds of textual records, some photographs, and an album of the Provincial Administration of St. Joseph's Province. These sous-fonds belong to: the Provincial Superior, Provincial Bursar, Provincial Prefect of Studies, Prefect of Music, Mistress of Novices, Directress of Juniorate, and Provincial Archivist. All these officers maintained their own offices and records at St. Ann's Academy (Victoria) until its closure in 1973. Today, only the Provincial Superior, Provincial Bursar, and Provincial Archivist maintain active file systems. Recording activities, transactions, and persons has always been a policy with the Sisters of St. Ann and these are to be found in ledgers, registers, and forms throughout the fonds, particularly in the context of schools. There are files of correspondence relating to certain subjects or activities, reports and copies of reports made to counterparts in the General Administration and vice versa, minutes of meetings, chronicles (house journals), journals of official visitations, school records, records of sisters' studies, and a great deal of miscellaneous reference, "orphaned", or ephemeral material. The records span the years 1858 to 1995 with the bulk of it being generated between 1900 and 1990. The dates prior to the Province's formation in 1892 can be explained by predecessor bodies, most notably the Vicariate which performed a number of the Province's current functions and whose records were absorbed by the Provincial Administration.

The fonds consists of historical overviews of the ministries of the Sisters of Saint Ann in Haiti, historical newspapers and newspaper articles, copies of the newsletter L'Hibiscus, chronological surveys, reference, and subject files.

The collection records some of the activities in Haiti of the Sisters from St. Josephs Province. The album of photographs was organized to give visitors an overview of the personnel and efforts in Haiti. The scrapbooks contain newspaper articles describing the needs, history, and culture of Haiti.

The fonds consists of script house chronicles (1888-1957), local house minutes, accounts, visitation reports, historical magazine and newspaper articles, newsletters, missionary biographical information, school artwork, notebooks about fish-cutting and fur work, jubilee booklets and programs, post-mission data, photocopies of early correspondence stored at Mother House of Sisters of St. Ann, anthropology articles *Van Stone re Ingalik), general reference and subject files.
