'''Brown, Ella Barksdale. “Ella Barksdale Brown Papers 1885-1952 (Bulk 1906-1926).,” 1885. '''

These papers are firsthand accounts from Ella Barksdale Brown and are thus not a "good" Wikipedia source. However, I am including them in this bibliography because I will be using them to supplement my research and essentially fact check the information I find from secondary sources. The author's credentials are assumed since the author is Ella Barksdale Brown, who possesses the best information on her own life. Within these papers are accounts of Ella Barksdale Brown's interaction and interest in education, women's rights, and other social issues prevalent in her life.

'Daniell, Lewis E. Types of Successful Men of Texas''. Austin, Tex.: Published by the author, 1890. '''

I have not yet received this source in print form, but the online ebook seems to contain a lot more information on Ella Barksdale Brown than I've found anywhere else. With details of her personal life not found anywhere else, Daniell provides a good independent view of the life of Ella Barksdale Brown. This is a good source by Wikipedia standards because it is written by someone secondary to Ella Barksdale Brown, and is thus an independent source. Lewis E. Daniell is the author of the personnel of the Texas State Government, and is thus awarded with that position and possesses credibility through it.

'''"First Graduating Class to Receive High School Diplomas from Spelman Seminary". Photograph. Atlanta, 1887. Spelman College Archives. '''

This source is a photograph of Ella Barksdale Brown in her graduating class from Spelman Seminary. Some classmates might be able to link more information to supplement my stub article with the names and identification from Spelman College in Atlanta. This is a good source for Wikipedia because it is an independent source with information about Ella Barksdale Brown that is not directly involved with her. Since it is not a typical print source, there is no author with credentials. Instead, this source provides context to Ella Barksdale Brown's life and her education at Spelman College.

'''Prestonia, Anu. “Ahead of the Crowd.” Sisterhood Agenda Vol. 1, 2011. '''

This is not a scholarly source, nor is it a peer-reviewed source and is thus not a "good" Wikipedia source. However, it is the only thing I've found so far that isn't already cited on the Wikipedia stub for Ella Barksdale Brown, so I'm linking it. Whether it stays to contribute something to the article or not, it at least can open some avenues for exploration in Ella Barksdale Brown's life. Since the article is focusing on some new information regarding Brown's life as a woman "ahead of her time", it could help me find other sources referenced within the article.
