The series consists of registers, books of share certificates, and directors’ and members’ minutes created between 1931 and 1992 by Canadian companies. The majority of the companies were helicopter businesses that were acquired by Okanagan during a period of large-scale expansion in the 1970s. Some of these businesses acquired other companies before themselves being acquired by Okanagan.

The companies represented in the series are Ambank Aircraft Limitée; Ariel Engineering Limited; Associated Helicopters Company Limited; Canadian Helicopters Limited; Creighton Helicopters Ltd; Dominion Pegasus Helicopters Ltd; Haida Helicopters Ltd; Heli-Aero Logging; Lac St Jean Aviation Limitée; Lecky Paper Ltd; Sept-Iles Helicopter Services; and Smith, Davidson & Wright.

The series also consists of photographic prints depicting other companies' operations and aircraft, as well as proof sheets, letterhead, and envelopes. The series also consists of legal documentation and correspondence for Lecky Paper.
With the exception of company stationary, which appears to have been arranged by Okanagan staff into one general file, the series is organized alphabetically by company and chronologically within each company. This chronological arrangement reflects the order in which the records were received upon transferal to the BC Archives.
