The papers were given to the Bancroft Library by Bernstein's daughter, Mrs. Tybel Litwin, in March and April 1965. A few papers
were transferred from the University Archives in February, 1965.

He took his degree at Johns Hopkins and did his graduate work at the University of California in Berkeley. Teaching at the
University of California since 1907, he specialized in postulate theory, Boolean algebra and the mathematics of logic, and
published many articles in professional journals.
The collection includes correspondence, manuscripts of various articles, some papers relating to the teaching of courses,
papers contributed by students, and copious mathematical notes.
