The CORRESPONDENCE series [1.1 linear ft.; 1905-1937] contains letters and memoranda, most of which relate to Barrett's duties as director of the Psychopathic Hospital. There is extensive correspondence with national mental health orgnanizations, staff of state and federal agencies, and other medical practitioners.

The "State Psychiatric Hospital [SPH]" and "University of Michigan" files contain information about training programs for psychiatric medical staff, as well as details about building plans for the hospital. "SPH: Statistics and General Information" contains statistical charts of patient information, which are broken down by ethnicity, sex, and disease diagnosis. The LECTURES AND PUBLICATIONS series [.7 linear ft.; 1905-c.1930s] contains addresses, lecture notes and reprints of articles by Barrett. CASEWORK [.5 linear ft.; 1906-1934 and undated] contains records of cases which Barrett treated, and some criminal cases for which he acted as a consultant.
