Fonds consists of textual records, chiefly from the period 1930-1940, with some documents from the 1920's and scattered items dating back as far as 1906. The records fall into several major groups, including project files relating to cities and areas where Seymour served as a planning consultant, largely Ontario cities such as Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, and Fort William, but also including St.John, N.B. and areas in Alberta. These files include correspondence, reports, proposals, clippings, and smaller maps and plans; files consisting largely of correspondence and clippings relating to planning and housing in cities where Seymour was not employed, notably Ottawa, his home in the later 1930's; articles and broadcast texts by Seymour, plus correspondence and informational material dealing with his university lectures; articles by others on housing and town planning, and copies of planning and housing laws, with copies of related reports and clippings.

The fonds contains photographs of urban landscapes, streetscapes and houses, many which were used by Seymour for his lectures. Slides depict maps, plans and architectural drawings.

Fonds consists of maps, plans and drawings showing traffic patterns, utilities, recreation areas, farmstead plans, school grounds and residential developments, predominantly in 1930-1940, pertaining to planning and development in various towns and cities in New Brunswick, principally St. John; Ontario, principally Fort William and Ottawa; Alberta; and to Little Rock, Arkansas. Fonds also contain maps, plans and achitectural drawings and diagrams reflecting studies into sunlight at different latitudes and corner cutting (street), and relate to planning and development in various Canadian cities, principally Ottawa, although there are examples for Saint John, New Brunswick; Edmonton, Beverly, and Camrose, Alberta; and Larder Lake, Ontario.

Seymour, Horace L., 1882-1940 : Horace Llewellyn Seymour (1882-1940), town planner, was born in Bereford, Ont. and graduated in engineering from the University of Toronto. After working as a surveyor for the federal government, he joined the Town Planning Branch of the Commission of Conservation in 1914. In 1922, he produced the plan for the city of Waterloo and assisted Thomas Adams with one for Kitchener, the first comprehensive city plan in Canada.

From 1926 to 1929, Seymour worked for the U.S. firm of Harland Bartholomew, supervising the plan for Vancouver. From 1929 to 1932, he worked as Director of Planning for Alberta, offering advice on the subject to all municipalities. He spent the rest of his life as planning consultant to such cities as Sault Ste. Marie, Cornwall, and Fort William, Ont., and St. John, N.B.

Seymour lectured in planning at the University of Toronto in 1921-23, at the University of Alberta in the early 1930's, and in Ottawa through the University of Toronto Extension Department in the later 1930's. He also gave many radio talks on city planning and was a frequent contributor to periodicals.
