Series consists of published materials about Lowry and his works, organized by medium and, within medium, chronologically. Contents include: reviews, in various languages, of Lowry's works and collections of selected letters and poetry published posthumously, academic articles and papers about Lowry's works, including some presented at the 1987 Lowry Symposium and 1997 Lowry Conference, newspaper and magazine clippings, and excerpts from Lowry biographies. Series is predominantly scholarship and criticism with a secondary focus on biographical works. The collection of newspaper clippings is comprehensive, but source publications and dates are often unclear.

Series also includes several reels of audio recordings, predominantly interviews with Lowry’s friends and Lowry scholars.

Series consists of published works by Lowry organized by publication date. Contents include: juvenilia, published primarily in the Leys Public School's journal, the Leys Fortnightly, poetry and short stories published in anthologies, and poetry and short stories published in magazines and journals, during Lowry's lifetime and posthumously. Posthumous publications were predominantly the result of submissions and requests made by Earle Birney and Margerie Lowry to various magazines and journals, though in many cases Lowry's work was sought out for publication in anthologies and collections of poetry and short stories, and for spotlight features about Lowry (see the Earle Birney Papers sous-fonds for correspondence about some posthumous publication of Lowry's writing).
