The series contains numerous letters with Dr. Lillian Gilbreth that involves their work with farm work simplification, as well as personal matters after Daniel and Roberta Braum became close friends with Gilbreth. Gilbreth became known as the “mother of modern management” and, with her husband, Frank, pioneered industrial management techniques that are still practiced. Correspondence with Dan Copell, E.C Young, Lowell Hardin, the farm work simplification project director, and a number of other individuals also address Braum’s involvement with farm work simplification. White House correspondence includes a small number of invitations and personal notes sent to Braum by Presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. The second sub series contains general correspondence and is organized chronologically from 1935-1975. The majority of these letters are related to Braum’s professional career and his involvement with farm work simplification, public administration, and scientific management.
