The photographs were generally created due to Everhardt’s National Park Service activities although there are a few personal photographs included in the series. While there are photographs documenting his service at Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and as Park Service Director, the bulk of the photographs were taken while he was Superintendent of the Blue Ridge Parkway. In addition to documenting events such as the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Parkway in 1985 and the dedication of the Parkway in 1987, there are also photographs showing the Parkway itself, particularly the Linn Cove Viaduct. This series contains photographs dating from 1957 to 2001, with most of the photographs created in the period 1975-2000. They are arranged chronologically, with photographs transferred from the Pre-Director, Director, and Blue Ridge Parkway series and a sound recording from the Blue Ridge Parkway series filed at the end.

Among the individuals appearing in photographs in this series are Paul H. Broyhill, owner of Broyhill Furniture; Queen Elizabeth II; U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elizabeth Dole; North Carolina Governors James Hunt and James Martin and Virginia Governor Charles Robb; National Park Service Director William Penn Mott; President Ronal Reagan; and conservationists Nathaniel Reed and Laurance Rockefeller.
