Some writings by Tod were written using her pseudonyms Lucy Beecher and Alice Cornelia Hoyt. Also included are files for Tod's personal project, The Shuttle Service, a monthly publication devoted to weaving that ran from 1934 to 1980. A history of the publication written by Tod's daughter, Josephine Couch Del Deo, is included in the files.
