Provenance
After Bramlette's death, Edward Winterer, William Riedel and Frances L. Parker examined his files and books. Winterer saved this material, and transferred ito the SIO Archives with the permission of Emily Bramlette Assami. Later, additional material was found by Joe Curray in a desk that had belonged to Bramlette; Curray donated that content.
