James T. Brady was born in Brooklyn, New York. He served in the infantry during World War II and after the war was employed with the military government. He was a judge in the Occupation Courts in Germany until 1951. Rita G. Brady, also born in Brooklyn, joined her husband in Germany in 1950. Mrs. Brady had been a teacher in the New York City area and later taught children's literature in the Albany area where her husband was a lawyer in the public service commission. Both Bradys wrote and published juvenile short stories and novels. They had no children.
This collection is primarily the manuscripts and related publishing correspondence of the juvenile literature of James T. and Rita G. Brady. There are a few journals, photographs, and printed material for both. James T. Brady's papers contain some material on the military government of Germany and his experiences living there.
