The collection contains letters, postcards, and scrapbooks of Vince Anderson during his cryptography service with the United States Army in Germany, 1956-1957. Letters to his parents in Raleigh, N.C., describe daily life in the Army, his fellow soldiers, and his explorations of Germany and beyond. They tell of his travels in the Black Forest; to Heidelburg and other parts of Germany; to and around Lake Constance; into Switzerland and Liechtenstein; to Copenhagen, Denmark; to Sweden; to Brussels, Belgium; and to London, Cambridge, Ely, and York, England. The scrapbooks contain picture postcards and written descriptions of places that Anderson visited in Europe. The addition of September 2000 contains typed transcriptions of memoirs by Mary Octavia Kemper Anderson (1871-1960) and her son, Paul Kemper Anderson (1898-1987).
