The book's every page is hand painted with water colour and contains the handwritten names of almost every member of Hadassah groups within Canada. Some names are the person's own signature while others are written out for them. There even includes pages with the signatures of children. The book is organized into provinces (moving from East to West) with the towns and cities in alphabetical order.
