The collection contains biographical and genealogical materials, published and unpublished writings, correspondence, clippings, notes, speeches and addresses, a scrapbook, and other papers of Brackett's. Most were used by his second wife, Louisa de Berniere Bacot Brackett, Rose W. Bull, and Katharine D. Hardwick for their biography : Jeffrey Richardson Brackett, Everyday Puritan (1956), including much material with annotations by the authors and copies of the biography. Personal papers include Brackett family papers; journal (1879) of George B. Morison, a fellow student of Brackett at Adams Academy, Quincy, Mass.; papers related to Brackett's position as lifetime chair of the Harvard University Class of 1883; and a 1728 deed to land owned by the Brackett family in Braintree, Mass. (now Quincy, Mass). Professional papers include material on Brackett's work with public charity organizations in Baltimore; the Boston School for Social Workers (later Simmons College School of Social Work); involvement with various charity and social work organizations including Massachusetts Civic League, Massachusetts Dept. of Public Welfare, Massachusetts General Hospital Social Service Dept., and National Conference of Social Work; and special subject files on poor law and customs and the scope and organization of charity, two life-long areas of interest. Major correspondents include Richard Conant, Ida Cannon and Zilpha Drew Smith. Other correspondents include Jane Addams, Richard C. Cabot, Robert W. DeForest, John M.
