Thomas McArthur Anderson papers, 1822-1973

Custodial History

It remains unclear whether Gauld, Thomas M. Anderson, or another family member brought together the family papers, as both Gauld and Anderson conducted genealogical research.

Acquisition Information

This collection was donated in installments by Charles Anderson Gauld beginning in 1945, with additions made in 1952, 1972, and 1973.

Processing Note

The papers were processed in December, 1991 by Janet Crum.

This accession is a merger of 1973-001, 1973-002 (Anderson, Thomas M.)and 487-001 (Anderson Family).

The arrangement of the notes series in the Gauld series is somewhat random. The original folder headings were retained, but these headings are not always accurate. The notes were originally mingled with clippings, letters, and other material, some of which was related, and some of which was apparently in random order. The subject sub-series consists of articles, clippings, postcards, and miscellaneous material. Subject files were created when there was sufficient material to do so (usually at least two items). The remaining material was placed in the clippings sub-series as unsorted
