Professional papers of Dan Beach Bradley and his son, Cornelius Beach Bradley, both missionaries to Thailand (then Siam) in the nineteenth century. The papers of Dan Beach Bradley consist of four manuscript volumes of a Siamo-English dictionary, articles and notes on the history and culture of Siam, including a list (copy) by the king of Siam of his 61 children in 1852, as well as copies of essays on the Siamese language in both English and Siamese by the king. A number of unidentified papers in Siamese, collected by Dan B. Bradley, are also included. His personal papers which contain 28 volumes of his journals (ca. 1835-1873), are in the library of Oberlin College. The journals have been filmed. Several maps of Thailand and China (1867-1870) have been sent to the Map Department of the Yale University Library. The Cornelius Beach Bradley papers consist chiefly of manuscripts on the Siamese language and rubbings of inscriptions on stone tablets accompanied by correspondence and notes on their translation. Other reprints relate to the origin of Siamese alphabetic writing and an analysis of the language. There is a small amount of correspondence for both Dan Beach and Cornelius Beach Bradley and one letter from Dan Beach Bradley (1767-1838) to his sister, Mehetabel, dated August 23, 1801.
