Materials were kept by Richard Sweet in a series of binders and file folders, roughly, but not exclusively, relating to the specific series identified below. Thus while ‘brewery histories’ were most often found in binders, researchers should be aware that considerable relevant materials could also be found within the file folders, here identified as the “subject /nominal files” series. Similarly, brewery advertising, specifically copies of ads from newspapers, can be found both in series 4.1 and within series 7.
The file titles created by Richard Sweet in series 7 suggest materials compiled or created over time: similar, but not identical, file titles were often used for very similar materials. In some instances these have been grouped together by the archivist (identified by use of square brackets) or by “see also” notes, but researchers interested in specific topics should review the full listing within this series.
Organized into 8 series:

1. Associations
2. Brewery Directories
3. Brewery History
4. Brewery Ephemera
5. Brewery Images
6. Reference Material 7. Subject/Nominal Files
7. Personal
