June Callwood was involved in the founding of the Periodical Writers Association of Canada (PWAC) in 1976, an association representing freelance writers who contributed work to magazines, newspapers, and other periodicals, and she served on the executive of PWAC for many years. Her files from the 1970s and early 1980s hold correspondence and memoranda, minutes and related records, newsletters, and clippings which document the founding and early activities of PWAC. Her files from the late 1990s largely reflect issues of copyright and unfair contracts. They hold legal correspondence from the lawsuit writer Heather Robertson launched against Thomson Canada concerning electronic publishing rights, and Callwood's resignation in 1999 severing her relationship with PWAC over its management of The Electronic Rights Licensing Agency (TERLA).
