Series contains a sub-series for each phase of Gordon's UN career and one sub-series for UN-related material post-dating his 1962 retirement. The files from his career (1950-1962) include UN, general, and personal correspondence; memoranda; notebooks; reports; speeches and writings by Gordon; clippings on his UN career and other subjects; UN documents such as records of meetings, information notes, news releases, and newsletters; travel memorabilia; diaries; scripts; print matter; files on the writing of Gordon's The United Nations in the Congo (1962); and other material. Correspondents include Lester B. Pearson, John Humphrey (director of the Human Rights Division), and other UN colleagues. The post-UN career sub-series includes retrospective files in which Gordon gives his interpretation of the Suez crisis and a 1962 CBC script in which he gives an overview of his UN career.
