File mainly contains historical images of Haida and Tlingit villages and totem poles located on the Northwest Coast of British Columbia and Alaska. There are also images of Haida and Tlingit peoples dressed in regalia.

There are also images of a modern day ceremony in front of some totem poles and long houses. The textual records include photocopies of images of totem poles and Haida and Tlingit villages.

This file contains correspondences between Wilson Duff, R.F. Scagel, and Trisha Gessler concerned Gessler's manuscript entitled "The Art of Nunstints" [sic]. The manuscript was not accepted for publication after peer review by Duff and an anonymous reviewer. It appears that the primary concern with the text has to do with the issue of artistic attribution. Gessler worked from an earlier thesis advanced by Duff that he later revised. Many works once attributed to Tom Price were later suggested to be the work of at least one other artist.
