Series consists of inventories prepared by Alma Duncan of her paintings and files of material she collected on materials and conservation. While the files largely document her artworks and their disposition, and information on the art supplies she used, there is some inter-filed correspondence with publishers ( including letters from John Robert Colombo at Ryerson Press 1963, Roby Kidd and Peter Martin at the Readers' Club of Canada 1961, Gordon Fairbairn 1957, The New Yorker 1953, and letters from the Province of Saskatchewan's Bureau of Publications, 1947, regarding the possibility of Duncan taking a job there). The files on materials include light tests Duncan conducted on paints, to check their reaction to exposure to light.
