Scope and Content Correspondence and manuscript notes of Brasch and article reprints, photographs, and memorabilia collected by Brasch on the history of science in general and the history of astronomy from Isaac Newton to the modern period. Arrangement The boxes of manuscript material are arranged roughly according to subject: Boxes 2-8. Colonial Science: general Boxes 9-13. Colonial Science: John Winthrop and the colonial Newtonists Boxes 14-23. Isaac Newton and his contemporaries Boxes 24-25. Albert Einstein Boxes 26-35. T. J. J.

College catalogues Boxes 100-102. Studies in English literature and philology Note Box 1 contains a miscellaneous assortment of gems extrated from the collection in August, 1975. Because there were no references as to the original location of the individual items within the collection as a whole, they remain separate, a hodge-podge of items of widely varying significance ranging from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Note All other gems which I have found within the collection remain there, and are indicated by an asterisk (*) preceding the item's description.

Special Collections M0275 3 (Frederick Edward) Brasch Papers , 1745-1963 The catagories of manuscripts listed above are anything but representative of every item within a given subset. The original integrity within the individual boxes has been generally respected, except in cases where the contents clearly have no reasonable order. In this situation I have relocated material according to the afore mentioned subject guidelines. Catalogued during the academic year of 1980/81 by Kenneth B. Wolf Dept. of History
