The fonds documents the ancestry, activities and interests of D.F. Robertson. His varied careers (military officer, priest and academic librarian) give Robertson's papers an unique and varied glimpse into recent Canadian history. The military material from the 1950s, specifically his involvement with the first NATO force and the International Commission for Supervision and Control, document Canadian involvement in two post-war international endeavours from the view of an active participant.
