Finding Aid
The Daily Diary is a minute-by-minute log of President Ford's official and social activities, noting attendees at meetings and persons to whom he spoke by telephone, and where and when these contacts took place. Little on the substance of meetings and calls appears in the collection, however. The collection includes multiple copies of the typescript Diary, source materials used in its compilation, administrative files of the compilers, an electronic version created by scanning it into a full‑text searchable database, and a selected name and geographic index.

The President's copies of the daily news summaries compiled by Press Office staff members and distributed for reading by the President and his staff. Few contain initials or annotations by the President. This set is missing about 75 of the news summaries issued during the administration.
Finding Aid
Daily listings of Presidential telephone calls placed or received. The logs were compiled either by staff assistant Nell Yates, the White House Operators, or the White House Communications Agency. The logs merely indicate the name of the caller and length of the call. In only a few cases is there any indication of the topic of the calls.

Daily item-by-item listings compiled by the Staff Secretary's Office of documents submitted to the President and those received from him in his outbox.

Materials primarily related to the daily administration of White House Office spending, personnel actions and allocations, office space, passes, equipment, mess privileges and other perquisites, and more. Some material relates to other Executive branch personnel appointments or to administration of the Executive Office of the President. Additionally, there is an extensive set of formal briefing papers for Presidential meetings and events, arranged by date.
Finding Aid
The Connor files document his responsibilities as Staff Secretary and Cabinet Secretary, especially White House administrative matters; the flow of presidential paperwork; and the planning, preparation and follow-up of Cabinet meetings. Connor's office oversaw the flow of paperwork to and from the president, and communicated presidential decisions and comments to the Cabinet and White House staff. His special expertise in energy policy and his work on intelligence community reforms is also well documented.
