He served as secretary from 1941-1991 and was instrumental in the organization and publication of the Thoreau Society Bulletin, which incorporated the Thoreau-related work of many different scholars as well as that of Harding himself.

A Tribute to Walter Harding
Subject
The topic of the resource
A long, descriptive, and heartfelt obituary detailing the enormous influence Harding had on the Thoreau Society, and Harding's personal search for Thoreau.
Description
An account of the resource
The mature and aesthetic appearance of this modern publication of the Thoreau Society Bulletin is a far cry from the simple type-written affair which Harding produced, but the Society is clearly still in touch with its roots. This article speaks to how central Harding was to it, and notes his considerable academic accomplishments and progress in the field of Thoreauvian study, but the most moving sentiment is the focus on the personal relationships Harding still maintained within the Society.

Subject
The topic of the resource
Although still very basic in format, Harding's organization of the second Thoreau Society Bulletin is meticulous and shows a great enthusiasm for his duty.
Description
An account of the resource
An interesting contrast arises when this bulletin is compared to the first one, which had been published the previous year. There seems to be more direction and structure, and the activities of the Thoreau Society seem more clear. The evolution of the society is evident as its bulletins advance in complexity, especially within the very early stages of development.

The Thoreau Society: A History
Subject
The topic of the resource
Apparently by popular demand, Harding addresses the familiar tale of the Thoreau Society's formation to the society itself, which, from his writing, we can tell has evolved into a new generation, with Harding still in his position of secretary.
Description
An account of the resource
In four parts, Harding reminisces on the roots of the Thoreau Society for the enjoyment and reflection of his fellow members. Inserted among other Thoreau-related items in the semiannual bulletin, this casual and personal reflection is a shortened version of the much longer account that Harding is prone to use for various purposes (i.e. The Concord Saunterer's "A Rambling History of the Thoreau Society")

Harding commemorates the 150th Bulletin with a brief reflection about the very first publication and how it came to be.
Description
An account of the resource
A very condensed version of Harding's tale of the Thoreau Society's beginnings, this blurb appeared as the front page article in the 150th Thoreau Society Bulletin. It is a personal but brisk recollection from Harding's perspective, and is a summary of the more detailed accounts he gives elsewhere. The milestone of 150 issues was clearly significant enough to him that it called for a brief meditation, at least.

The Early Days of the Thoreau Society
Subject
The topic of the resource
Harding's summary of 50 years of his work as secretary of the Thoreau Society, some of the colorful characters he's met and the early events which led to the Thoreau Society's formation.
Description
An account of the resource
One of the last memoirs that Harding would write on the origins of the Thoreau Society, the decades of hindsight between Harding's account and the events he describe allow him to recount many events familiar to those who have read a great deal of Harding's writings on this subject. However, he sums up this account with some amount of closure: he mentions his stepping down from the role of secretary after 50 years and thanks those who have made his time enjoyable. This seems to be one of the most complete summaries of the Thoreau Society's early years by Harding. It may be a manuscript used to create Harding's article entitled "A Rambling History of the Thoreau Society," published in the Concord Saunterer in 1995. This would imply that Harding felt it necessary to write down his thoughts on his experience in the Thoreau Society just to have them for himself.

The same drive which led him to found the Thoreau Society continued to drive other, similar projects which involved Harding sharing his expertise with others.

Description
An account of the resource
Beginning with a brief overview of the foundations of his interest in Thoreau, this heartfelt address made before the Thoreau Society was Harding's way of announcing his plans to bequeath to them his collection of "Thoreauviana", as he was inclined to call it. At the end of a long career, Harding decided to donate his life's work and passion to his beloved Thoreau Society, to be maintained and appreciated for generations to come. A handwritten note at the bottom of the last page is one of Harding's last actions in passing the torch of his longtime position of secretary to his successor.
