The collection consists of the family papers of Albert Danner Thomson from 1883-1953. The papers consist of correspondence, travel diaries, a photograph album, photographs, memorabilia, and collected material. Most of the materials are centered around Thomson's travels to Japan and Korea, accompanying Bishop Warren A. Candler and Asa G. Candler, Jr. in 1906, and his days at Emory College (1895-1898). The materials relating to his trip with Candler also include Thomson's visit to China, living with a cousin, Roy Anderson, while there, and his subsequent stopovers in Naples, Rome, Paris, and London, before returning to the United States in January 1907. The collection also includes two scrapbooks created by Albert Danner Thomson, Jr., documenting his years at Emory in the mid-1940s and his involvement in the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, in addition to the Druid Hills community and the fire department during the 1940s and 1950s.
