The papers of Charles Bowdoin Fillebrown (1842-1917) span the years 1879-1928 with the bulk of the material dating between 1897 and 1917.

Fetter, Max Hirsch, Alvin Saunders Johnson, J. Shield Nicholson, Carl C. Plehn, Edwin R. A. Seligman, F. W. Taussig, Carroll Davidson Wright, and Allyn Abbott Young.
