Fonds consists mainly of administrative and financial records generated by the Society. The records include audited financial statements, financial reports, correspondence, donor’s lists, programs, administrative records related to individual projects, bylaws, and the certificate of incorporation. The fonds also contains a collection of publicity materials, mostly newspaper clippings, related to the projects organized or supported by the AUCS, most notably the Children of Chornobyl Fund, a humanitarian initiative that provided aid for children in Ukraine. The fonds also includes several publications whose production was supported through the AUCS. The books include research publications and a collection of poetry published in Edmonton.

The collection consists of films used in an itinerant picture show that toured through rural Saskatchewan, particularly through Ukrainian communities around Regina, during the 1930s-50s. The films include episodes of popular series such as Tarzan of the Apes, Dick Tracy, Krazy Kat, and Hopalong Cassidy; full-length genre films including Westerns and melodramas; comedy shorts; compilations of trailers for Hollywood features; episodes of Canadian Movietone News for 1950-51; a documentary about Inuit life in the 1940s; and two feature-length Ukrainian films that were made in North America. Both of these films were produced by Ukrainian-Canadian Vasile Avramenko. The first is entitled Cossacks in Exile (Zaporozhets za dunaem) (Edgar L. Ulmer, 1938), while the second is entitled Marusia (Leo Bulgakov, 1938). These films are in the Ukrainian language with English subtitles, were specifically made for the expatriate Ukrainian community in North America, and are rare examples of Ukrainian commercial filmmaking in North America.

Many of the films are fragments of larger works, but it is unclear if the complete films were ever shown as part of the travelling picture show.

The collection also contains a poster for Cossacks in Exile and an original cardboard box used to house one of the film reels.
