Series 2: National Institute of Mental Health Records, 1884-1982

This series contains records which document Dr. Brown's tenure at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (DHEW). Dr. Brown began working at NIMH as a staff psychiatrist at the Mental Health Study Center of NIMH in 1960. He held increasingly more responsible positions at NIMH leading to his appointment as Director in 1970.

The series has been divided into two subseries: Special Topics and Program and Policy Records, to reflect their contents and the original order of the records. Note that some of the same topics are covered in both of the subseries in the NIMH Series.
