The series consists of subject files, texts of sermons, and a scrapbook of Rev. Walter G. Brown. His subject files (1870-1979, 17.5 cm, vol. 2) hold correspondence, memoranda, texts of speeches, minutes of meetings, leaflets and clippings on the Presbyterian Church and his career. The subject files include biographical correspondence and memoranda of Allan L. Farris who had planned to write a biography of Brown and a 1979 research paper on the United Reform Movement by J. M. Pitsula. The scrapbook (1896-1940, 2.5 cm, vol. 2) contains correspondence, telegrams, clippings, passes concerning Reverend Brown's early career in the ministry in the West, his election as Moderator, his refusal of honorary degrees, and election as a Member of Parliament.

The texts of Brown's sermons (1908-1940, 80 cm, vols. 3-6) are arranged chronologically, except for the files of undated sermons which are arranged by subject. As well as religious subjects, the sermons discuss social matters such as prohibition, gambling, women's rights, war, and the Depression of the 1930s.
