Series consist of material, including correspondence, printed material and clippings, arranged by Comfort into a number of separate series of subject files, which, because of the overlap between them, have been combined into one large series. Included is correspondence filed by the name of the correspondent or in general correspondence files. Among the correspondence in the General Correspondence files are letters from A.Y. Jackson 1959, Robert Ayre 1959, Clare Bice 1959, Peter and Bobs Haworth 1978, Eric Harrison 1978-1984, Jean Sutherland Boggs 1978 and 1982, Harry Jackman 1978-1979, A.J. Casson 1978, Molly Bobak 1978, Herman Voaden 1979, York Wilson 1979, Frances and Murray Adaskin 1981-1982, Graham and Irene Spry 1982 and 1984, among others (an extensive series of letters from Norah Michener is filed under her name).

The General Correspondence files also include a letter from Gordon Thompson 1981 sending Comfort a package of archival documents relating to the founding of the National Film Society in Toronto 1935-1937. There is also correspondence relating to the sale and exhibition of Comfort's work, both in the General Correspondence files and in files bearing the names of collectors, galleries or museums.

Also included are files relating to Comfort's commissioned work, for instance for the National Library and Archives building and the Academy of Medicine, Toronto. There are files relating to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and to Comfort's term as president.
