The records in this series consist primarily of the research files maintained by Wynne Francis related to her collection of magazine and small press ephemera. The later dates with some of the file contents suggest that David McKnight likely added found material to the files. These files arrived boxed together in the alphabetical order that is maintained in the series, so even if a file seems to represent a later period than that which Wynne Francis was collecting in, the file remains with this series. Researchers interested in a specific title should also consult the file lists found in Series 1, David McKnight’s magazine and small press research files.

The files are in alphabetical order by title of the magazine or small press; there was no distinction made between the two formats in the files that arrived with this series. The file contents include some original, but mostly photocopied magazine copies and excerpts; related articles and news clippings; subscription and ordering information; brochures; catalogues; and some correspondence. The file contents are maintained in chronological order.

Another significant portion of the materials is devoted to the evolution of a laboratory manual culminating with the publication "Chemical Analysis: An Intensive Introduction to Modern Analysis" by WE Harris and B. Kratchovil. To accompany this book, the authors produced "Teaching Introductory Analytical Chemistry" as the teaching assistant's manual for Chemistry 312.

This is a small series, but represents another source of creative output from Wilfred Watson. Drawings, watercolors, pastel and crayon sketches, etc. cover the papers he writes on; even the stationery he uses for letters includes photocopies of his drawings as part of the letterhead. This series consists of 10 large sketchpads filled with drawings; some of the sketchpads are made of construction paper, while others have a heavier art paper composition. There are also files of loose drawings, and several files of drawings done on smaller pieces of colored cardboard. Reference is also made in this series to a box of drawings Watson completed to accompany his "Jenny Blake" poetry material.

The material in Series 2 is framed in drawings and artwork, including line drawings, crayon sketches, pastels, and watercolors. Wilfred Watson loved to draw; his notebooks are filled with drawings and watercolor paintings that illustrate the material he was working on or thoughts he wanted to visualize. Drawings and sketches are also a part of the notebooks in Series 1 and sometimes on the reverse of the writing drafts found in Series 2. Occasionally, drawings are included with the letters he sent to Sheila Watson and other correspondents. This series, however, is composed of the sketchbooks and files of drawings he maintained separately from his textual material. As Shirley Neuman writes in her description of the Watson archive: "the drawings are vigorous and spontaneous; they often use allegorical figures to make political comments."

The series title is based on the contents of records.

The material in Series 6 represents some of the reference material Wilfred Watson retained. It includes newsclippings and articles about Marshall McLuhan, and a series of articles he clipped about contemporary theatre. There are newsletters and theatre programs, as well as collected articles, essays, papers and poems written by others. Included with this last grouping, are some student works including undergraduate essays, a Ph.D. thesis written by Stefan Haag (studying Wilfred Watson's writings), a M.A. thesis chapter, and poetry written by former students of Watson's. Material related to artist Jack Shadbolt's exhibits is included in this series, along with a copy of Sheila Watson's Antigone and a carbon copy of The Double Hook with manuscript emendations.

The records in this series include a lot of published material such as newsclipppings, magazine articles, and offprints. There are also typescript materials including essays, poetry, and articles that others have sent to Wilfred Watson for his perusal. Often the material is in a reproduced form such as a photocopy or carbon, and many of the items are personally inscribed to Watson. The material is in excellent condition.

The material in Series 8 includes the audio-visual material Wilfred Watson collected. It is a small series, consisting of 11 tape cassettes, 5 reel-to-reel tapes, 4 videotape recordings, and 334 photographic items. The material is in very good physical condition.

The audio-visual material, although not extensive, helps to present a fuller picture of Wilfred Watson. The photographs include photographs of Watson's immediate family including his parents, sister Jean, and other family members. There are two lovely portraits of a young Sheila Watson, and several formal portraits of Wilfred Watson taken while he was in his 30s and 40s. There are also some lovely photographs, many taken by Jorge Frascara, of Wilfred at his home in Nanaimo, B.C. Several of Frascara's photographs were mounted in a special album and titled "Cowback and so Much More". A friend, Pauline Boote, took some wonderful photographs of the 'heads' Watson created from painting on driftwood. As well, there are snapshots of friends (and their children) included with correspondence, and a large number of 'play' photographs (play production prints and proofs). The sound recordings are limited, and some of the material remains unidentified. The tapes, both sound and video, relate almost totally to Wilfred Watson's work and includes sound tracks and recordings of plays or Watson-related material readings.

The series title is based on the contents of records.

Series contains the many notebooks and journals that Wilfred Watson kept during his writing career. The earliest notebooks were usually 5 x 8 hardbound books, between 64 and 128 pages. By the early 1950s Watson was using 8 x 11 books, with the exception of a few books from Paris which were a smaller, paperbound format. All the books tend to be 64 to 80 sheets (128-160 pages). Each is filled, sometimes, particularly while working on Cockcrow, he keeps several at once. Beginning in 1980, Watson began buying 11 x 14 books of construction paper, usually 48 sheets for his notebook (the multicolored effect of several of them on a shelf was the effect sought for in the design of Mass on cowback). He also began keeping simultaneous notebooks in the white spaces and over the illustrations of calendars. All of the notebooks are filled with drawings, line, crayon, pastel, and watercolor, as well as with written text. There are approximately 345 notebooks, journals, and calendars and they make a complete record of Watson's work from 1945 to 1982, and a somewhat more fragmentary record for the last sixteen years.

Wilfred Watson's earliest notebooks are manuscript notebooks. Increasingly over the years, the notebooks combined reflections on reading and conversations with others, ideas of poems, plays, and short stories, and manuscript drafts. Certain themes recur in the notebooks, among them ongoing meditations about Shakespeare's plays and, especially from 1965 on, a continuing engagement with the ideas of Marshall McLuhan. Nearly all Watson's plays, poems, and short stories are first draftedin the notebooks, sometimes with many variations. For some work, such as Cockcrow and the Gulls, the notebooks provide a complete history of the genesis and development of the script. The notebooks also include hundreds of ideas for poems, scenario for plays etc., some developed, some not, as well as a great many unpublished poems and plays. They provide an indispensable research tool for scholars wishing to trace the thought and the process of composition of Watson's Oeuvre. "The notebooks and journals provide a record of the conception, writing and revisions of all Watson's major works and of a great deal of important unpublished work, as well as a major and creative response to the intellectual and political changes of the period from 1950 to 1980".

The series title is based on the contents of records.
