Letters, letterpress books, diaries, diary transcripts, journals, notebooks, writings, and photographs document the missionary careers in Siam (modern Thailand) of the Rev. Dan Beach Bradley and his first wife, Emilie Royce Bradley. The most valuable resource for understanding Bradley and his missionary work is his twenty-five volume diary (1832-73). A transcript of portions of this diary (1835-73) is also available. The correspondence contains references to early Oberlin and abolitionism, the preaching of Charles Grandison Finney, and Dan Bradley's doctrinal disagreements with the American Board. There is also a small amount of correspondence and writings of two Bradley children, Sophia Royce Bradley and Cornelius Beach Bradley, as well as other family records.
