Included are materials (1857-1945) related to his parents and ancestors, Brewster's early life and education through earning his Ph.D., his teaching job at Cranleigh School for Boys in St. Petersburg, Florida, and his work with the Works Progress Administration as Research Editor for the Historical Records Survey of North Carolina.

Biographical/historical information

Lawrence Fay Brewster was born on April 29, 1907, in New York City, New York as the only child of Henry and Helen Brewster. He attended public schools in White Plains, New York, before his family moved to Asbury Park, New Jersey, where he graduated from high school. He earned an A.B. from William and Mary in 1930 and subsequently attended Princeton University where he studied European History and Columbia University and he earned his M.A. in that same field, minoring in political science. In 1933, Brewster obtained a social studies position at the Cranleigh School for Boys in St. Petersburg, Florida. In 1935, he enrolled at Duke University, beginning his pursuit of a Ph.D. in history. While at Duke, he worked as a graduate assistant and from 1938-1939 he held a research editor position with the Historical Records Survey in Raleigh, North Carolina. He also held a teaching position at Clemson University before completing his studies at Duke in 1942. During the final years of World War II, he remained at Duke, as a history instructor.

In 1945, Brewster accepted a position at East Carolina Teachers College in the Department of History. He was instrumental in the growth and development of the department. Under his leadership, a master of arts in history and the history education curriculum were developed. He also served as director of graduate studies and as an adviser for the Fulbright Award. Brewster endowed three fellowships for graduate students, a lectureship for the history department, and a conference fund. He retired from teaching in 1969. On January 20, 1974, the Lawrence F. Brewster Classroom Building was dedicated in his honor. Standing along Tenth Street, the building currently houses multiple departments including history, geography, political science, and planning.

While Brewster was living in Greenville, North Carolina, he was also a member of the Friends of the Library, the Chancellor's Society, the Pitt County Historical Society, and the North Carolina Historical Association. After his retirement from East Carolina University, he served as the historiographer for the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina from 1970 to 1991.

Lawrence Brewster did not marry and did not have any children. He died in Greenville, North Carolina, on September 19, 1999, leaving his estate to the College of William and Mary, Duke University, and East Carolina University. He also left his home and property to St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Greenville, North Carolina.

Scope and arrangement

The earliest material is related to Brewster's family background and includes an album of cartes de visite and a couple of tintypes, in which only six images are identified. The names given are Henry C. Allen, Jackson Allen, Polly Corwell and Mr. and Mrs. O. Brady. All identified photographers are from New York. Other family items are marriage certificates for Brewster's parents and other family members and a birth certificate for Brewster's father. Other early material including report cards, commencement programs and photographs document Brewster's schooling in New York and New Jersey and his graduation from William and Mary College in 1930 and Duke University in 1942.

Two folders of material document his time as Research Editor in the late 1930s for the Historical Records Survey of North Carolina including research notes and individual time reports with notes; and a few documents relate to his time as a master at Cranleigh School in St. Petersburg, Florida, in the early 1930s. One folder of material touches briefly on Brewster's time at East Carolina University including a dedication program for the Lawrence Fay Brewster Building on campus, the establishment of the Lawrence Fay Brewster Fund, the 1947 publication of his article "Summer Migrations and Resorts of South Carolina Low-Country Planters" in the Historical Papers of the Trinity College Historical Society, and his correspondence with Historical Associations in North and South Carolina.

The vast majority of this collection relates to Brewster's role as historiographer for the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina and his research for the publications "A short history of the Diocese of East Carolina, 1883-1982: with its background in the heritage of the Anglican church in the colony and the Protestant Episcopal Church in North Carolina," and essays "Alfred Augustin Watson: Episcopal Clergyman of the New South" published in volume 3 of East Carolina College Publications in History, and "The Diocese of East Carolina, 1883-1963" published in The Episcopal Church in North Carolina, 1701-1959.

Brewster's papers include correspondence, documents, photographs, newsletters, pamphlets, reports, directories, and clippings related to the Diocese of East Carolina and its member churches, parishes, bishops, and priests, and to its annual conventions. Besides covering the years of his time as historiographer (1970-1991), the materials also include clippings from newspapers and diocesan newsletters from the 1940s through the 1960s and Brewster's notes related to the history of the Diocese. Newsletters include issues (incomplete runs) of the Diocesan publications: Cross Current (1978, 1979, 1983, 1985-1988), the Mission Herald (1941, 1944, 1945, 1948, 1958-1960, 1965, 1973, 1974), Coalition Communiqúe newsletter (September 1976 through 1987) for Coalition 16 Churches in the Diocese, and the Talk'n Tattle (1971-1986) put out by the Episcopal Child Care Services of North Carolina, plus Historiographical Newsletters (1969-1977, 1981, 1984, 1986-1987).

Most of the correspondence is related to Brewster's research, but some of it relates to his position as historiographer for the Diocese. Besides answering questions related to church history or rules of order, he was also asked questions related to family history. People mentioned in family history discussions are Henry Alfred Duboc, Charles Pettigrew, John and Isaac Stocks family of Pitt County, Lewis Williams (of the Colonial Era), Remus Watson Bland (Martin County), John Taylor (born 1823) of Pitt County, James Davis (buried in Greenville in Pitt County), and Rev. George Strebeck and his family (written by his great great great grandson Earl Strebeck).

There is more material (1938-1993) related to St. Paul's Episcopal Church of Greenville, North Carolina, than some of the other churches in the Diocese, because it was the church that Brewster attended. Included are a parish directory (1938), church histories, correspondence, clippings, architectural renderings of a proposed addition to the church, historical pamphlets, photographs, and bulletins. There are some clippings and notes related to the history of the Episcopal church and other churches in Pitt County, North Carolina, plus a 1970 letter discussing the decision of the diocese to sell St. Andrew's Episcopal Church—the African American Episcopal church in Greenville, North Carolina.

The topic of segregated Episcopal youth summer camps is documented here by clippings and brochures related to the Diocesan camps which were Camp Leach on the Pamlico founded for white youth to use and Camp Oceanside on Topsail Island founded in 1955 for black youth to use. Both camps were closed in 1985 in preparation for the building of integrated facilities now known as Camp Trinity which is a part of Trinity Center at Pine Knoll Shores.

Other topics of interest include conferences held at Kanuga Conference Center in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Hendersonville, North Carolina, which was established in 1928 and is affiliated with the Episcopal Church; college and university campus ministry; Penick Home, the Episcopal Home for the Ageing; Episcopal Child Care Services (Thompson Orphanage); and how the Diocese and the Episcopal Church and other religious groups handled celebrating the Bicentennial of the United States Celebration in 1976.
