http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/184836692

This small collection consists of two scrapbooks, some correspondence, photocopies of newspaper clippings, biographical information, and certificates. The smaller of the two scrapbooks contains many photographs of young woman in the Women's Reserve. Many are pictured in uniform. Congratulatory notes in white pen are written to Brady next to each photograph. In some of the notes Brady is referred to as a sergeant and in others as a captain. The second scrapbook contains many newspaper clippings and some black and white photographs of Brady alone or with groups. The scrapbook is arranged chronologically from about 1908-1950. Much of the material deals with the schools she attended and her activities.
