La sous-série des diapositifs contient des négatifs de diapositifs d'évènements auxquels l'IBI participa, ou organisa. On y trouve notamment des diapositives du séminaire inaugural de l'Institut pour le développement de l'informatique (IBIDI), tenu à la technopolis de Bari, du 24 au 30 novembre 1985, ainsi que les diapositifs d'une communication donnée par Enrique Melrose, directeur du département de l'Amérique latine à l'occasion d'une conférence indéterminée. D'autres diapositifs contiennent des éléments de présentation de l'IBI, dont certains à l'occasion de la conférence SPIN et celles d'un accord de coopération engageant l'IBI de nature indéterminée. Trois autres boîtes de diapositifs renseignement sur des réunions de l'IBI.

Une grande partie des diapositifs présentants l'IBI semble être du matériel utilisé dans la confection des enregistrements promotionnels audiovisuels de l'IBI. Ceux-ci pourront être consultés dans les ensembles de la sous-série des cassettes vidéos magnétiques, particulièrement le dossier "Présentation de l'IBI".

The External Relations service of the Cabinet of the Director-General was responsible for relations with member and non-member states. Files are organized by country and mostly contain correspondence. Other possible documents attached to the correspondence include: reports, meeting documents, and cooperation agreements. The original order of the series was maintained - the files are roughly in alphabetical order as each country was assigned a number such as, for example: C.1 Afghanistan, C.2 Albania, C.3 Algeria, etc. In seems that in most cases files dating from before 1982 are missing. This is most apparent for countries which had many exchanges with the IBI, such as Italy, France, Spain and the United States of America, for example. Files for those countries represent the bulk of the series.

Sub-series contains material related to the Profiles of Nature television program, including promotional materials. Profiles of Nature ran for 104 half-hour and 84 one-hour episodes, as series and as specials, from 1984-2005. Produced independently by KEG Productions in association with CFCN-TV Calgary, it was pre-sold to Global TV (CFCN-TV Calgary), TVOntario, and multiple independent stations in Canada. It was sold to PBS in the United States through Ellis’ American distributor Devillier-Donegan Enterprises, and then to other international markets. Narrated by Neil Dainard.
