The Jack Stewart Papers consist of two scrapbooks and a folder of loose scrapbook pages. The large scrapbook contains newspaper clippings, photographs, personal mementos and other memorabilia from his athletic career at Grafton High School, South Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota from 1919 to 1929. Also included are keepsakes from dances and other social events. Towards the back of this scrapbook are six pages of photographs with captions.

The smaller scrapbook contains clippings of sports articles written by Stewart between 1921 and 1926. The articles cover North Dakota college and high school sports, mostly football and basketball. Most clippings were written by Stewart and published in the Fargo Forum, Grand Forks Herald, and Argus Leader, among other newspapers. Several clippings feature news about Stewart's athletic accomplishments or his role with the fundraising drive that led to the construction of Memorial Stadium on the UND campus.

One folder has unbound scrapbook pages featuring newspaper clippings and a 1971 Fiesta Bowl pamphlet. The clippings are primarily about social events at UND in the 1920s, with an emphasis on the Delta Zeta sorority. Other articles are about UND athletics.
