The Jane Burr Papers include articles by and about Burr, photographs of Burr and her family, and about 150 letters to her. There is personal correspondence from Havelock Ellis from 1992-1935, mostly about their common interest in sex reform and the position of women: marriage, divorce, birth control; and a freer attitude toward sex. Other correspondents include Margaret Sanger, H.G. Wells, Agnes Smedley, Fannie Hurst, Roger Baldwin, and Max Eastman. Burr's letters to Margaret Grierson, Director of the Sophia Smith Collection, contain detailed descriptions of her papers and provide valuable biographical context. Descriptions written on the back of the photographs of family and places provide additional biographical information. There are a number of photographs of Burr's home town, Cleburne, Texas.
