The Speeches and Articles series includes manuscripts and drafts from throughout Burton's professional life, but primarily from 1909 to 1925 when he was a college president.

The Scrapbooks/Newspaper clippings series dates from 1895 to 1925. Although mainly consisting of newspaper articles, the scrapbooks also contain programs, memorabilia, and personal photographs.

The University of Minnesota Topical Files series is a miscellanea of subject and organizational files from the period when Burton was president of the University of Minnesota. The files are not specific to university affairs, but rather deal with Burton's and the university's involvement in different organizations. The files also reflect Burton's religious background and his work with church-based organizations.

The Photographs series includes both portraits and family photos. There are also photos of the wedding of his daughter in the William L. Clements Library, views of the President's House, and photos of Burton's funeral procession along South University Ave.
