This series contains diaries, writings, reporters' notebooks, and trip files. The diaries include pocket diaries, day diaries, and typescript daily journal entries. They are most detailed for the 1930s and some of these are memoirs. Included with them are short stories that Stursberg wrote and submitted for consideration. His notebooks document his work as a journalist and foreign correspondent. They are most complete from 1944-1949 and record the end of the war in Europe and postwar events such as the Berlin blockade and Quisling trial in Norway.

The trip files cover Stursberg's extensive travels during the 1960s and 1970s to places such as Italy, India, the Middle East, Cyprus, Yugoslavia, Scandinavia, China, and Mexico. They contain scripts, clippings, notes, correspondence, and travel itineraries and information. The trips to India in 1966 and China in 1971 are particularly well-documented. On the latter, he accompanied Chester Ronning and covered the trip for CBC, "Newsweek", and the Toronto "Star".

Oversize material has been placed in volume 39.
