The papers of Bernard Bragg consists of 7 document boxes and 1 oversize box for a total of 6.5 linear feet and approximately 5,600 pages. The materials within the collection range from 1950 to 1993 with the majority of content from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The bulk and strongest component of the papers are articles, newsletters, and publications. Bernard Bragg’s talents were internationally known so most of the collection is comprised of printed material about his exploits as a performer. The weakest part of the collection is information relating to the establishment of the National Theatre of the Deaf. As one of its co-founders one would expect to see more material in regards to how the NTD was erected but the only documents relating to this is via correspondence with Edna Levine.

One box containing photographs is also in this collection.

Of particular interest to the researcher is a transcribed interview with Marcel Marceau about his impressions of Bernard Bragg.
