This fonds consists primarily of the administrative and operational textual records of the Anglican Church, Diocese of Yukon. Also included are photographs, maps and plans, architectural plans, sound recordings, and films.
The fonds consists of 20 accessions. The finding aid "Inventory of the Anglican Church Diocese of Yukon Records deposited with the Yukon Archives, Amalgamated and Reprinted 2013" describes 14 of the 20 accessions in detail (79/51, 79/52, 79/59, 80/23, 80/55, 80/58, 80/102, 81/13, 82/5, 86/61, 87/65, 89/41, 94/78, 2012/38). These 14 accessions have been organized into the following six series: Diocesan Records; Parish Records; Related Organizations; Reference Files; Maps and Publications; and Photographs. These series are described in detail with box and file locations in the finding aid. The six remaining accessions (80/129, 81/16, 82/6, 84/72, 88/24 and 88/128) are described in the following paragraphs but are not described in further detail in the finding aid.

| Restrictions on Access |
|
The majority of the church records are accessible to researchers. The exception is baptism, burial, marriage, and confirmation records. These specific records are noted as being restricted in the finding aid. Researchers requiring information from these registers and able to prove their relationship to the person whose records are being sought will be assisted by the Diocesan Synod office which retains photocopies of the registers. Otherwise written permission must be received from the Bishop of Yukon in order to examine the original registers. In January 2013 the Diocese of Yukon requested that access to files in COR 998, COR 999, COR 1000, and COR 1001 (94/78) be restricted as their disclosure may be harmful to personal privacy. Access to the St. Paul's Hostel matron's book, COR 248 f1 (88/128), is also restricted. Release of information is to be provided as per the spirit of Sections 25(g), 26, and 70 of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (ATIPP Act). Questions regarding information that Yukon Archives has restricted are to be directed to the Anglican Church, Yukon Diocese.
