The series consists of records kept by Yalden during the course of his career with the Department of External Affairs' Disarmament Division in Ottawa 1960-1963, as First Secretary and Counsellor to the Canadian Embassy in Paris 1963-1967, as Special Advisor to the Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs 1967-1969 and as Canadian Ambassador to Belgium and Luxembourg 1984-1987. The records provide a good perspective on Yalden's knowledge of Canadian and European relations and foreign policy issues, as well as his diplomacy. The series is arranged by subject and in chronological order within.

The series contains records concerning disarmament, Canadian and French foreign policy, European economy, federal/provincial relations and federal and international relations, and the Education Ministers conferences at Libreville in 1968 and at Kinshasa in 1969.

The series includes correspondence, notes, briefing and discussion notes, comments, memoranda, drafts, proposals, report, verbatim records, cabinet documents and decisions, documentation, speeches, press release, programs, magazine and newspaper clippings, etc.

The series also includes one photograph of the building where the first Education Ministers Conference took place in Libreville, Gabon in February 1968. The photograph was separated from the textual records for proper preservation storage.
