The scrapbook, embossed with Dr. A. B. Illievitz on its cover, is filled primarily with correspondence mostly from the 1910s to 1920s, but dating as far back as a letter to Illievitz's father from 1896. Much of the correspondence pertains to Illievitz's medical education at McGill and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Province of Quebec from the 1910s, his medical services as a Captain/surgeon in the Canadian Army Medical Corps, assorted letters of recommendation from medical institutions and various employers, letters of congratulations (from the YMCA) and employment (from the Montreal General Hospital, Mount Sinai Sanatorium, the Montefiore Hebrew Orphans' Home, the Jewish Immigrant Aid Society of Canada, Women's Hospital of Montreal, and various medical institutions), letters pertaining to the medical apparatuses he invented, and letters of appreciation for his medical services and philanthropic efforts. Additionally, some medical/patient correspondence and medical receipts for services, as well as personal correspondence (including condolences for the loss of his father), can be found in the scrapbook.

The scrapbook also contains a seating chart which appears to be for a military banquet, a number of McGill University Faculty of Medicine course certificates from 1913-1915, a McGill convocation program (1925), and Illievitz's notice of graduation.
