Brady is an heraldist, historian, and geographer, and is the founder of Palfrey Press. He created Palfrey Press as a home for works appealing to the discerning antiquarian.

His specific area of focus is feudal, manorial, and allodial landholdings, boundary mapping, and primitive land title records. His work is primarily a combination of field study, archival research, and cartography.
