Series consists of three sub-series: Albert Franck project files; Tom Thomson project files; and Miscellaneous project files. Albert Franck files relate primarily to the publication of Albert Franck: Keeper of the Lanes (1976), with a small amount of material on the writing of the catalogue by Town and the organization of a major retrospective of Franck's work at the Art Gallery of Ontario (1973). Included are lists of works by Franck, related correspondence, biographical information, publicity, and drafts of the text for the monograph and the catalogue.

Material included in the Tom Thomson project files relates, primarily, to the publication of Tom Thomson: The Silence and the Storm (1977), written by Harold Town and David P. Silcox. Included are research files containing copies of Thomson letters, catalogues on Thomson, bibliographic references, drafts and galleys of the text, rough lay-outs, correspondence and contractual agreements with McClelland and Stewart, colour proofs for the published calendar and samples of same (1980-1984), related clippings, and letters of appreciation from readers. Oversize folder contains rough lay-outs for the book's production.

Miscellaneous projects comprise a small amount of material relating to the publication of Enigmas (1964), Silent Stars, Sound Stars, Film Stars (1971), a limited edition publication of Toy Horse, and Pas de vingt (1984) which Town produced in collaboration with poet James Strecker. Also included is material relating to unrealized projects.

This material is complemented by the Harold Town photograph collection, which includes reference photographs and reproductions of the artists' works.
