Series 2 Publications 1945-2005

Physical Description: Carton 5, folders 24-54; Carton 6-9; Carton 10, folders 1-11; Carton 25; Box 1; Oversize Folder 1b

Arrangement

Arranged into two subseries: Publication drafts, and Publication reprints.

Scope and Content Note

This series includes drafts, notes, and related correspondence for many of Brewer's published writings, beginning with publications stemming from his doctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley on the compound Mesityl Oxide. As shorthand, Brewer often referred in correspondence to each of his writings numerically, by citing its corresponding position on the cumulative bibliography of his publications. Each of the publications is identified in this listing by both its title and the numerical indicator assigned to the publication by Brewer. A bibliography of Brewer's writings, including internal laboratory reports, may be found at the beginning of the series. A near complete set of reprints may be found beginning in carton 10, folder 12.

Series 5 Subject Files 1921-2004

Physical Description: Carton 15, folders 36-41; Cartons 16-22; Carton 23: 1-20.

Arrangement

Arranged into two series: Manhattan Project Files, and General Research Files.

Scope and Content Note

This series includes files relating to Brewer's work during World War II as a member of the Manhattan Project, as well as more general subject files that evidence the depth and breadth of Brewer's research interests. In some cases, the coverage within a single subject folder spans many decades.
The first subseries, Manhattan Project Files, includes correspondence, research reports, notes, and other materials relating to Brewer's work as a member of the top-secret United States government project to develop a nuclear weapon during World War II. As the leader of a small team of other young chemists from UC Berkeley, Brewer continued to hone his knowledge of chemistry and develop as a mentor and educator. The materials here provide insight into the difficult theoretical and material challenges Brewer overcame over the course of the project.
The challenge of the Manhattan Project to use theoretical models to predict properties of systems for which no data was available continued to be a dominant feature of Brewer's research throughout his professional career. The second subseries,
General Research Files, includes correspondence, notes, reports, and data documenting Brewer's research over the subsequent half-century. Many of these files document a long series of investigations aimed at establishing the general principles of high-temperature behavior, and at developing methods and materials to gain new information about high-temperature systems.
 

5:1 Manhattan Project Files 1930-1999

Physical Description: Carton 15, folders 36-41; Carton 16; Carton 17, folders 1-21

Arrangement

Arranged alphabetically.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries includes correspondence, research reports, equipment notes, and other related materials relating to Brewer's work as a member of the Manhattan Project. Although Brewer kept most materials relating to his work on the Manhattan Project separate from his general research files, some materials were in fact interfiled among related research dating from other projects and time periods. In these cases, the original order of the files has been left undisturbed. For this reason, some materials relating to the Manhattan Project may also be found in Series 5, Subseries 2: General Research Files .

Scope and Content Note

This series comprises materials documenting aspects of Brewer's personal life and professional achievements, including his graduate work, his relationships with his doctoral students and research associates, and the ways in which his accomplishments were recognized by his profession and his field.
The first subseries, Personal Materials, documents Brewer's early academic interests as a student at the California Institute of Technology, including student notes and his dissertation on Mesityl Oxide, for which he received his SC.D. in 1941. It also includes materials documenting Brewer's many achievements as an educator and researcher, including bio-bibliographical updates provided to the University of California over a close to fifty-year period.
The second subseries, Award Materials, is composed of files relating to honors and awards Brewer received over the course of his professional career in academia and scientific research, including appointment letters to academic and committee positions, articles describing his research, and both formal and candid photographs of Brewer in the laboratory, at various campus events, conferences, and speaking engagements. It also includes the full transcription of an oral history, as well as draft materials and correspondence relating to the festschrift compiled in Brewer's honor by his colleagues and former students.
