The fonds contains administrative and operational records of the Sons of Scotland Benevolent Association from roughly 1913 to 2017, including correspondence, financial statements, member directories, membership documents, newsletters and magazines, and minutes. These documents represent the association's aims to support Scottish immigrants to Canada and promote Scottish heritage. The fonds also includes artifacts collected or created by the association, including promotional materials, and the association's library of maps and books related to Scottish arts and culture. Series 4 represents another of the principal activities of the association, the creation and delivery of insurance policies to Scottish newcomers to Canada.
