Edgar Shannon Anderson papers, 1898-1972.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61772589

Correspondence in the archives is fragmentary except for that with William Brown, Paul Mangelsdorf, and Barbara McClintock, and these survived because they were sent by Anderson to Brown in the late 1960s and later returned by Brown to the Missouri Botanical Garden. An early correspondence with Robert Woodson is of special interest. More complete than the correspondence are diaries, 1914-1959, biographies and memorabilia, and family photographs. The correspondence and notes on research and teaching, and drafts of writings are far from complete but contain valuable materials.
