The sub-series consists of personal and biographical material relating to Hugh Graham. It includes clippings of newspaper and magazine articles about him during his lifetime and historical articles written about him much later, and tributes and obituaries of him at the time of his death. There are photographic portraits of him and Lady Atholstan in 1920 and memorabilia he kept relating to Montreal and from his visit to London for the Imperial Press Conference of 1920. A phrenological assessment conducted by O. S. Fowler of Graham in 1876 is an interesting item which includes his manuscript annotations of agreement or disbelief in Fowler's claims. The sub-series also includes scrapbooks of press coverage of his knighthood in 1908-1909 (vol. 10); his trip to England to organize the Imperial Press Conference in 1920 (vol. 7); and an album of photographs and photogravures of London about the time of the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. Another scrapbook (vol. 8) covers the course of his life, including letters, clippings, his honorary doctorate from the University of Glasgow, and other certificates.

In addition, there is a copy of the 1906 British publication Motoritis (Vol. 6) which includes 12 chromolithographs of cartoons, and a bronze medal by Birks (Vol. 5), struck in commemoration of Louis H. Lafontaine, and given to Graham (the name "Atholstan" is engraved upon it), among others.
