Fonds consists of records created and accumulated by Canadian artist William J. Wood and include Wood's wartime correspondence to his family (1916-1918) and correspondence with other Canadian artists, as well as a collection of Ontario and Canadian art exhibition catalogues and related ephemera that document Wood's contributions to these art exhibits and the community of artists with which he was associated.

Fonds consists of Zdenka Volavka records accumulated and created over the course of her professorial career. The majority of files consist of annotated photocopied material obtained through interlibrary loans (the card catalogue indexing this material was prepared by Zdenka's long-time assistant, the late Charlotte Carrol). Files also contain material related to her involvement at York University and her research on the kingship and royal ritual in Ngoyo, Africa.
