The series consists of a filing system which recorded BCHA members in an index card file. The index cards give the member’s name and address, and in many cases the system appears to record the status of membership, membership payments (and/or possibly subscriptions to publications), on an annual basis. Some sections of the card file are labelled with dates, and some with the labels “agents” and “members at large.” Some members were located out-of-province. The original organization system is unclear; it mixes chronological and geographic features.

The series consists of a wide range of records filed by subject matter. These include but are not limited to the following subjects: BCHF’s own archives and records management policy; its constitution, bylaws and regulations; correspondence with BC Archives; the organization’s manual and administrative procedures, organization functions and history; change of name; members’ biographies; membership directories and mailing lists; long range planning; pre-conference workshops; publicity; committees (education, membership, publishing); the organization newsletter (B.C. Historical News) and journal (British Columbia History); digitization issues; writing competition and awards; release of historic census records; BCHF logo; fundraising and gaming event license; the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) training; website; annual reports; registrar of companies; historic sites.
The creation of the series was based on an artificial arrangement by the archivist, made necessary since the files were not part of a recognizable original classification system, were poorly labeled or otherwise in poor original order.
