The Writings Series consists of Myers' personal and professional writings from both his time as a graduate student and his tenure as a professor at Princeton University. The bulk of the documents, including all of the Diaries and Notes subseries and much of the Lectures subseries, are in Myers' hand. Other documents include typescripts and carbons of various Myers monographs, bank account books, and engagement books. This series documents not only Myers day-to-day life, but also his interests and work habits. This is particularly evident in the Notes subseries. Included here are notebooks containing newspapers clippings which were carefully and meticulous maintained by Myers throughout his career. The clippings are accompanied by notes, thoughts, and future ideas for Myers' writings.

The Correspondence Series consists of letters to and from Myers' family, friends, and colleagues. The bulk of the letters are between Myers and his professional colleagues. Topics discussed include his professorship at Princeton, trips to the Far East, the Princeton Battlefield State Park, and Republican Party affairs, both national and local. Notable correspondents include Herbert Hoover, Woodrow Wilson, and Walter Edge. The correspondence between Myers and his family is often personal in nature.

The Printed Matter Series includes books, journals, magazines, newspapers, and pamphlets. The bulk of the material was collected by Myers and a number of the journals and magazines contain pieces written by Myers. Many of the newspapers and pamphlets were likely collected for research purposes, as their subjects reflect topics he wrote about.

The Photographs, Scrapbooks, and Oversized Posters Series includes various items collected by Myers. The bulk of the photographs are portraits of Myers, though some are of friends and colleagues. The scrapbooks, which appear to have been compiled by a clippings service, document Myers' entire career. The oversized posters include government notices and cartoons.
