Fr. Braceland wrote extensively on the subject of medieval religious history.
Three of his articles appeared in the volume of the Cistercian Studies series Medieval
Cistercian History. Among the papers in our collection are microfilms and
photostats of manuscripts from the Vatican Library and France, as well as many
photocopied excerpts of books that he used for his research. Fr. Braceland published
three volumes of works all of which are owned by Waldo Library at Western Michigan
University. Two of his books are translations from Gilbert of Hoyland, while
the third is a translated compilation of sermons.
