These records include minutes, correspondence, photographs, posters pamphlets and drafts of the Solidarity Bulletin newsletter. Also included in the sous-fonds are important historical IWW publications from the 1920s and 1930s. Although there are records from the 1970s, these are arranged in a separate series from the 1980s records because they are less complete. Additionally, the Vancouver GMB lay dormant between 1973 and 1982 and the functions of the organization changed significantly during the hiatus.

The fonds is arranged in the following series:
• 1970s series.
• Internal branch business series: as part of the regular activities of the branch,
leading members, organized branch business meetings, prepared financial
statements, corresponded with members and corresponded with the central IWW
body in Chicago.
• External IWW activities series: this series contains the records of a number of
Vancouver members who were active in other IWW bodies such as the General
Executive Board and organizing for the 1987 convention that was held in
Vancouver.
• External social, political and cultural activities series.
• Solidarity Bulletin series (1980s).
• Publications Series.
• Photograph Series.
