Considering this, the least silly, straight out of the dictionary:

The works of Phil Bolger.

or

Phil Bolger's body of work.

"papers", that would cover his writings and his drawings

He wouldn't mind if it was whimsical enough.

"SO's" for Standing Orders
"Scriptures"
"The Works"
"the Originals"
"BB" for Bolger's Boats, quick to type too.
All these and more come to mind.

Oh, "Fleet", "Flotilla", "Raft" or "Loft" come to mind.

I don't suppose many of you will have patience for this, but do we
want to choose a noun to be a collective of all of PCB's writings.
The Baker Street Irregulars use "the Canon" for the Holmes stories,
and I recently learned that followers of Lord Peter Wimsey use "the
Corpus." I don't have any ideas to nominate. Something from SciFi
would be appropriate, given Mr. Bolger's tastes.

Actually, I suppose Mr. Bolger's taste would be for us to not do this.
