The Aleza Lake Research Forest Society (ALRFS) records encompass material that was created or collected by the Society over its existence (2001-present). Records created by the ALRFS consist of administrative and operational records, as well as publications from the Society. Collected records include historical records relating to the Aleza Lake Experiment Forest gifted to the Society or its members. These include maps, photographs, reference material, and documents. Members and associates of the ALRFS also documented the history of the forest through the creation of oral history recordings and written histories such as John Revel's "Devil's Club, Black Flies, and Snowshoes".

The fonds includes a significant amount of reproduced archival material about Aleza Lake from other institutions, such as BC Archives, the Canadian Forest Service, and the BC Forest Service. Many of these reproductions were created as part of the 2006 ALRFS Natural Resources History Internship in an effort to compile the history of the research forest.

Also included are cartographic and photographic materials that depict the Aleza Lake Research Forest and surrounding areas.

"After we made the acquaintance of several girls living in Aleza Lake village, they would be invited to come to the camp on a Sunday to enjoy the music. Social events were infrequent, so they did not complain about having to travel three miles by rail and then walking another three-quarters of a mile on a foot trail that was sometimes quite muddy." -- quote from Cedric Walker in "An Early History of the Research Branch, British Columbia Ministry of Forests and Range" (p. 48)
