Chiefly office files from Burney's tenure as vice-president and executive director of the Milbank Memorial Fund, 1970-1977. (The fund is an organization dedicated to studying and promoting the effective delivery of health services.) Included in the papers are correspondence, memoranda, minutes of meetings, budget summaries, reports and the records for three programs supported by the Fund: the African Medical Education Program, the Commission for the Study of Higher Education for Public Health, and the Human Resources Development Project. Burney's activities in various organizations and commissions devoted to health care are documented in correspondence and files on these groups. Of particular interest are the files for the controversial President's Committee on Health Education, created by President Nixon in 1971. Burney's writings include texts of speeches, reports, drafts of articles, and offprints (1937-1976). Significant corrspondents in the papers are Florence Kavaler, Cecil G. Sheps, David Willis, Lester Breslow and Elliot L. Richardson. There is also a small amount of biographical material including photographs, family correspondence, biographical sketches, clippings and awards. These papers form part of the Contemporary Medical Care and Health Policy Collection.
