Fonds consists of textual material mainly in Diary format. Each entry is in numbered paragraphs and indexed by year. The entries are single spaced typed on onionskin paper and are bound in identified folders with approximately 500 pages per year. Each year is indexed. The diaries cover the period from 1969-1986 and consist of approximately 20,000 single spaced type written pages. In addition, there are handwritten notes from the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) in Madrid (1980-1983) - following the Helsinki Conference, at which Mr. Rogers represented Canada. Also in these boxes are the papers for the CSCE Conference on Human Rights, which was held in Ottawa in 1985 at which Mr. Rogers was Chairman. These papers include notes from sessions, speeches and planning meetings of the NATO countries.

The material documents personal notes from a Diplomat and High Public Servant serving in many countries in very interesting times for Canadian external relations after WWII and during the Cold War.
