A historic chronicle of Canadian artists

The Arts and Letters Club of Toronto maintains an extensive archive that chronicles its rich history and that of its members since its founding in 1908.

The collection encompasses a diverse array of materials, including concert programs, press clippings, Christmas music, and records related to notable members such as Healey Willan and Murray Adaskin.

These records feature biographical notes, correspondence, manuscripts, and photographs, providing insight into the club's vibrant cultural activities.

For researchers interested in exploring these archives, a significant portion is housed at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library in Toronto. The collection is accessible to scholars, historians, and other researchers upon request.

These archives not only preserve the club's legacy but also offer valuable resources for those studying Canada's artistic and cultural history.
