The fonds consists of 12 series: Wrings (General), Publications (Articles), Expenses (Personal and A+CC), Art Exhibitions and Gallery Correspondence, Art Gallery Pamphlets, Inuit Art, Baker Lake Soapstone, Baker Lake Inuit Art, Grant Applications, Art and Cold Cash Website, Photographs and Images, and Audio Recordings.

The Sheila Butler fonds contains archival materials documenting the process and the presentation of the Art and Cold Cash (A+CC) exhibit. A+CC was created in Baker Lake, Nunavut by three senior Canadian artists, Sheila Butler, Jack Butler, and Patrick Mahon, and included Inuit writer Ruby Arngna’naaq, and artist William Noah. A+CC was designed as an event to display art that is concurrent with the capitalist market. By combining art from the Southern and Northern parts of Canada, the project combined contemporary art, Inuit culture/art, and discourses surrounding money. A+CC was showcased in art galleries across Canada, Arctic settlements, the University of Edinburgh, and the Toronto Pearson InternationalAirport in order to reach out to viewers who might not normally visit art galleries.

The archival materials on the Baker Lake consists of documents produced by David Orlikow, M.P. from Winnipeg North, who presented to the House of Commons his overview of an early dispute over the availability of soapstone in the Baker Lake area.
