Dr. Ralph Werner Brauer
Personal Papers
Born in Berlin in 1920, emigrated to the United States in 1937, Dr. Ralph Werner Brauer lived a multifaceted life. First and foremost a scientist, he spent his life pursuing knowledge in an adventurous manner. Brauer headed the program in marine biology at Wrightsville Beach and was a formative force in the founding of the marine biology program at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. He was also a founding member of IRISC, a think tank organization whose goal was the study of the inter-relation of science and culture. A dynamic personality, Brauer was still actively conducting research when he died unexpectedly in the fall of 2000. He generously left UNCW, Randall Library and the Museum of World Culture his extensive estate, which included the History of Science 2000 volume book collection, and a multi-faceted artifact collection. These artifacts included oriental rugs, Chinese and Asian art, a 70 piece flute collection, numerous weapons and tools from South America, Central America and Africa and other varied and fascinating items.
His paper collection is supplemented
by an earlier collection, MS 060,
The Brauer Papers. This earlier collection focuses on the work of Brauer's
father, Friedrich Brauer, and is a fascinating glimpse into the world of
inter-war Germany and of the rise of Hitler and Fascism in Germany.
This collection of Brauer papers is organized in several series. The first
series to be processed focuses on Brauer's early life, from birth through the
late 1940s. In addition to documenting Brauers's early life, this series
contain a large amount of material about pre-WWI Germany, with items dating from
the early 1900s through 1920. It also includes documentation of the political situation in
Germany during Hitler's ascent. Many rare, one-of-a-kind, ephemeral newspapers,
leaflets, handouts, and other items are to be found in this series. Also
included in this series are a number of translations of correspondence between Brauer and his father. This correspondence reflects the close bond between
father and son and brings a touching personal note to the collection.
At this date, July 2002, the majority of the collection has not been processed. The remaining collection documents Brauer's achievements from circa 1950 to 2000. They include a government position in California, and the early days of UNCW's Marine Biology program. The inventories to these series will be posted as they are completed at a later date.
