This series includes correspondence and papers by other scientists sent to Dr. Wilson, which he then annotated. The correspondence and papers are filed under the name of the individual concerned. There are also files on areas of research interest, the titles of which were supplied by Dr. Wilson and are therefore in quotation marks (this list is very selective). Also included are the card indices he compiled; they are further described below.

In this series are transcripts, correspondence and films relating to the production of the Earth Sciences Film Series, a co-operative project of the Ontario Educational Communications Authority, Dr. Wilson and the University of Toronto (Erindale College). The 32 reels of film (mainly 16mm, colour) comprise various elements of the production including original negative and reversal positive prints, working prints and release prints. Textual records and film are dated 1972-74.
In addition, there are elements of a film entitled "geologie" produced, it appears, by the "office du film du Quebec". Included are 8 reels of film. Wilson's role in its production is unclear.
