Printed items include travel ephemera, Captain O.B. Steele's election material and newspaper clippings from Louisiana newspapers which document the Burdens' lifetime interests and community activities. Other printed items relate to the Burden Foundation such as acts of donations and blueprints of Ollie Steele Burden Manor and to Lester Williams genealogical queries and veterans organizations. Also included are monographs pertaining to French, Latin and English language. Items pertaining to LSU originate primarily from Ione Burden's office as the Director of Student Activities. LSU material relates to the Centennial Celebration, LSU Libraries, Friends of the Library, and Greek Letter Societies and include issues of The Giggler, an LSU coed publication (ca. 1919). Scrapbooks of various family members contain newspaper clippings related to family, ephemera, photographs, cards and pictorial memorabilia. Photographs are primarily family and individual portraits of ancestors, the Burdens, and extended family. Steele Burden's unsigned sketches depict the New Orleans French Quarter and Windrush Plantation.
