Frank Maloy Anderson PapersA Finding Aid to the Collection in the Library of CongressPrepared by Manuscript Division Staff2011
Biographical Note
Return to the Table of Contents Scope and Content NoteThe papers of Frank Maloy Anderson (1871-1961) span the years circa 1895-circa 1961 and consist of correspondence, memorabilia, and an extensive file of research notes for books, studies, articles, and lectures organized within two series: General Correspondence and Related Material and Speech, Article, and Book File. The bulk of the collection consists of research notes that Anderson prepared and collected over a twenty-year period in preparation for a three-volume study of the secession crisis, "The Two Hundred Days of 1860-1861," which remained unwritten at his death. The source notes are drawn from collections of personal papers, archives, newspapers, and books. The collection also includes a draft of an introduction to the study presenting a statement of Anderson's thesis and a proposed outline for the work. The papers further contain research notes for two of his published works, Mystery of a “Public Man" and Handbook for the Diplomatic History of Europe, Asia, and Africa, 1870-1914, as well as miscellaneous notes for lectures, classes, articles, and papers.
