The series documents Graham's day-to-day activities as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of National Defence, Leader of the Opposition, and interim leader of the Liberal Party through schedules, briefing materials, his personal notes, and various other documents and communications. There is evidence throughout the series that Graham selected many of these items for his personal files. The series is arranged chronologically by month, and the documents for each day are separated as a distinct unit, as they were when transferred to the archives. The final file (67) is a collection of the daily schedules during Graham's time as the Minister of National Defence.
