The series consists of albums of Chesterfield's travels in Northern Ontario, training exercises in the First World War, and photographs taken by Chesterfield during his time as a press photographer.
The files in this series reflect the enhanced duties of the Executive Director's position in the CIC after 1974. Thus there are more fund raising and pressure oriented activity files. The files in the series are divided by colour and further broken down into alpha-numeric series. The green series consists mostly of CIC internal organizational material. The red series is primarily subject correspondence, and the orange series is mostly National Office (Ottawa) internal material.
