As Bryant left no single repository of documents, I have depended on many individuals who have contributed important pieces of evidence and information. They include Lorna Condon, archivist at Historic New England (formerly Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities); James Garvin, architectural historian for the New Hampshire State Historic Preservation Office; Lyman Holmes, attorney and historian in Machias, Maine; Arthur Krim, architectural historian in Cambridge, Massachusetts; James O’Gorman, professor emeritus of art history at Wellesley College; Pamela Scott, architectural historian in Washington , D.C.; Catharina Slautterback of the Prints and Photographs Collections at the Boston Athenaeum; Darrin Von Stein, architectural historian in New York City; Sara E.
