http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84666271

Primary papers consist of survey drawings, correspondence and data, letter files related to his early work, approximately 400 photographs and negatives, working and detailed drawings, specifications, and nearly 700 renderings and mounted sketches, memorabilia, notes, drafts of talks and lectures, and other research papers. Office records include information on finances and personnel. Some of the material in the collection pertains to restoration projects on individual homes as well as his larger projects. The collection also includes three documents about Francis Hover (or Hoover), an ancestor of Brumbaugh. A 1797 document names Hover as a surgeons mate in the 2d Regiment of the Salem County, New Jersey, militia; the document is signed by Richard Howell, governor of New Jersey, and John Beatty, secretary. In 1809, Hover was confirmed a member of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, Swedesboro, New Jersey. In 1827, Hover was named a Justice of the Peace in Kent County, Delaware; this certificate was signed by Charles Polk, governor, and John M. Clayton, secretary of Delaware. All three documents are printed forms, and the first and last described have state seals embossed on them. These are located with the miscellaneous files.
