The diaries and accompanying material document a wide range of subjects and events, including life as a young woman from a socially prominent family; Phillips' marriage to William Phillips and family life with their children; and traveling throughout Europe and living abroad. In addition, the diaries contain observations of Washington, D.C., politics and gossip, particularly during the Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt administrations. She also describes the coronation of King George V (1911), visits with Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (1920-1922), and attending an audience with Pope Pius XII (1940).

The collection also includes letters from Phillips' family and friends, including her cousin Waldorf Astor and William's sister, Anna Phillips Bolling; friends Sybil Cuffee Cutting, and her daughter, Iris Cutting Origo; and Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, many sent during FDR's presidency.".

- catalog description "Caroline Astor Drayton Phillips, daughter of Charlotte Augusta Astor Drayton and James Coleman Drayton, was born on October 26, 1880. Caroline was the oldest of four children, and, after her parents divorced in 1895, she lived with her father in New Jersey, New York, and Rogate, Sussex, England. She was educated by private tutors. Caroline married career diplomat William Phillips in 1910, and the Phillipses had six children (five who survived infancy). Caroline Phillips played a significant role in her husband's career, attending and serving as hostess for many diplomatic functions. The Phillips family lived outside the United States for many years and traveled extensively. William Phillips served as minister to the Netherlands (1920-1922); ambassador to the Netherlands and minister to Luxembourg (1924-1927); minister to Canada (1927-1929); and ambassador to Italy (1936-1940). He also served under President Franklin D. Roosevelt as Undersecretary of State (1933-1936). When they were not living abroad, the family lived at "Highover," their estate in North Beverly, Massachusetts. A lifelong diarist, Caroline Phillips' observations demonstrated a keen interest in religion, art, history, politics, and international diplomacy. Caroline and William were close friends with Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt (Caroline was Franklin's second cousin). They were also members of the Republican Party and the Episcopal Church. Phillips died at age 84 in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 7, 1965.".
