Petersen was active in various organizations, including the Saskatchewan Tourism Association; the Royal Danish Guards and the Scandinavian Clubs in Regina and Saskatoon. Petersen's lifelong hobby was photography and he often presented slide shows of his work to various groups.

Betty Francis, executor of the Axel C. Petersen Estate, donated these records to the Regina office, Saskatchewan Archives in two accessions in 1992 and 1995: R92-071 (April 27, 1992) and R95-226 (June 30, 1995).
Bereik en inhoud
This fonds consists mainly of colour slides of images taken between 1940 and 1986 by Saskatchewan resident Axel C. Petersen, whose lifelong hobby was photography. The majority of the images were taken in Saskatchewan although some images document Petersen's trips to Alberta; British Columbia; Seattle, Washington; Texas; and Mexico. The slides depict various subjects, including rural scenes, animals, buildings, agricultural activities, social events, museums, and ethnic displays.
The fonds also includes biographical information on Petersen; a typed, undated history of the Cando, Saskatchewan district; and an envelope addressed to Petersen in Denmark.
The slides are arranged in chronological order whenever possible. Slides that were originally in carousels are generally arranged in the order that they appeared in the carousels.
No series have been identified in this fonds.
