The fonds consists of records relating to the operation and activities of the Grande Prairie Guild of Artists. The records include incorporation documents and bylaws, minutes, agreements, financial statements, ledgers, miscellaneous financial records, membership lists, correspondence, newsletters, show and course information, art inventories, artists’ biographies, promotional material, newspaper clippings, photographs and slides of the Guild and its activities, and a video clip profiling the Guild.

The records have been arranged by the Archivists by content and chronology into the various series and files. Because the records came from so many individual sources, the overall original order of the records had been obscured. The Archivists imposed the order now shown by the records.

The records are divided into six series: Administrative Records, Financial Records, Membership, Communications, Programs and Events, and Associated Organizations.
