The series consists of records which largely appear to have been part of the fonds of the artist Robert Gagen (1847-1926), with some additional material relating to the Ontario Society of Artists collected by Lawrence Hayward from other sources. In general, the material relates to the exhibition and sale of art, largely in Toronto, and to art education in the province of Ontario, during the late 1890s and the early part of the twentieth century. Included among the records are printed and ephemeral material relating to the B.C. Art League, British Empire Exhibition, British School in Rome, Exhibitions of Little Pictures, Guild of Civic Art, Industrial Exhibition Association, J. Wilson and Co., Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, Society of Artists and Amateurs, Society of Graphic Art, Sculptors' Society of Canada and T. Eaton Co. Ltd. Galleries. There are C.J. Townsend sales catalogues relating to John A. Fraser and Henry Sandham; a notice for a F.H. Brigden exhibition at the Graphic Arts Club; catalogues for Mary Hiester Reid and Henry Martin exhibitions at the H.J. Matthews Art Gallery; and an invitation to Mr. O'Brien's studio from the Palette Club. The files on the Ontario Society of Artists include letters from T. Mower Martin, A.C.G. Lapine, Carl Schaefer, Frances Loring, Oscar Cahen and Harold Town. There are also membership nomination forms for a number of artists, including A.Y. Jackson, Marion Long, F. Horsman Varley, Francis H. Johnston, and Frances Loring.
