My vague memory has it that the American Archives of Factual Film may have
material on Burton Holmes.  The archive is online as described below

                   REMOTE ACCESS TO THE
        AMERICAN ARCHIVES OF THE FACTUAL FILM CATALOG
                     (February 1995)
 
    The catalog of the American Archives of the Factual Film
(AAFF) is now available as a separate database in the Iowa State
University Library's online system, SCHOLAR.  Films in the AAFF
database are cataloged using the MARC format, an international
standard for research materials in libraries.  Approximately 800
of the 12,000 records are fully catalogued, with film summaries
and full credits.  The others are shorter records containing
information about the films.
