The Una Abrahamson Collection of cookery books and social histories ranges from the 17th to 20th centuries and includes more than 2,700 recipe books, as well as never-published manuscripts. The University of Guelph acquired the collection shortly before her death in February 1999. The archival portion of the collection includes a tape of the CBC "This Morning" interview and discussion about Una Abrahamson and her books from March 8, 1999, a videotape of the Global TV news report (March 1999) announcing the University's acquisition of the collection, a short biography of Abrahamson, as well as press clippings, articles, and photographs. An original bibliographic typescript catalogue for the collection, with occasional handwritten, is also included.
