Kyraeh --

According to the Thomson-Gale Biography Resource Center, her papers,
photographs and other items at the Hallie Q. Brown Library at Central
State University, in Wilberforce, OH.  The Thomson-Gale biography
resource is a fee-based database but is available online at no charge
in many public libraries.  Their biography of Hallie Brown is highly
recommended: it covers 7 pages and has a large number of references.

Though widely traveled, Brown joined the Wilberforce University staff
as professor in 1893 and remained there until her death on September
16, 1949.

The CSU library doesn't make detailed references to the collection but
it's website is here:
Central State University
Hallie Q. Brown Memorial Library
http://www.centralstate.edu/library/

You'll probably want to contact the library about the location of the
collection of her papers among the various collections:
http://www.centralstate.edu/library/collect.html 

This University of Minnesota profile of her lists her published works:
Voices from the Gaps
"Hallie Quinn Brown" (March 17, 2000)
http://voices.cla.umn.edu/newsite/authors/BROWNhalliequinn.htm

Brown appears in a large number of reference collections but was the
special focus in two publications that may interest you:
"Hallie Quinn Brown: Black Woman Elocutionist," McFarlin, Southern
Speech Communication Journal, #46; Fall, 1980.

"A History and Interpretation of Wilberforce University," McGinnis,
Brown Publishing Company, 1941.
