http://www2.scc.rutgers.edu/ead/uarchives/abernethyf.html

The records of the Rutgers University Chaplain detail Bradford S. Abernethy's role and responsibilities at Rutgers as its religious leader. Many of Abernethy's papers contain material regarding his affiliations with religious and foreign exchange associations. They also demonstrate his concern with issues such as civil rights, conflict, and international relief efforts. Other papers detail the business matters of the use and maintenance of Kirkpatrick Chapel. The papers are divided into seven series, I. General Correspondence, II. Subject Files, III. Chapel Files, IV. International Organizations, Foreign Exchanges and Students Files, V. National Association of College and University Chaplains (NACUC) Files, VI. Writings, and VII. Photographs.
