The Bradley Brooks Papers, 1914-2008, contains records during Brooks' time working at the Indianapolis Museum of Art as the Director of Historic Properties between 2006 and 2015. While some of the records were created by Brooks himself, many of the records he collected as background information used within educational binders to aid in projects and serve as resources. Most of the records pertain to the historical houses under Brooks' care, including the Lilly House, the Miller House, and multiple other historical sites. Researchers will find information regarding the architects and oral interviews pertaining to the histories of the sites of value.
