| | | | Creator: | Brush Foundation | | | | Dates: | 1969-2003 | | | | Abstract: | The Brush Foundation was created in 1928 by Cleveland inventor Charles F. Brush (1849-1929) to promote "research in the field of eugenics and in the regulation of the increase of population." His initial bequest of $500,000 to establish the foundation derived from the fortune that Brush had amassed through investments and his many patents, most importantly the arc light. The foundation was intended as a memorial to his son, Charles F. Brush, Jr., who had died at the age of thirty-four in 1927. He and his wife, Dorothy, had been pioneers in Cleveland's early birth control movement. The collection consists of brochures, budgets, business cards, correspondence, grant proposals, journal articles, manuals, newspaper articles, notes, pamphlets, reference guides, and speeches. | | | | Call #: | MS 5077 | | | | Extent: | 2.00 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Brush, Charles Francis, 1849-1929. | Brush Foundation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Planned Parenthood of Greater Cleveland. | International Planned Parenthood Federation. | Charitable uses, trusts, and foundations -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Birth control. | Eugenics. | Population research. | Fertility, Human. | Sex instruction. | Maternal health services. | Pro-choice movement. | Teenage pregnancy.
