Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Robert Anderson papers (1940-1990) are a valuable resource for the student of anthropology, especially as that discipline relates to Indians of the North American Plains. The seven boxes that constitute the collection contain Anderson's research, a selection of his published works, and correspondence that concerns his career as an anthropologist and university professor. The materials filed in boxes one and two relate to Anderson's study of the Cheyenne culture as it appeared in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Included are the notebooks, correspondence, and writings that resulted in Anderson's dissertation, A Study of Cheyenne Culture History, With Special Reference to the Northern Cheyenne. The focus of box three is The Cultural Context, the anthropology textbook authored by Anderson. A copy of the book is included, as well as publishing and copyright materials, related correspondence, and various drafts and typescripts. General correspondence is filed in boxes four and five and illuminates Anderson's career from the late 1940s to late 1980s. Boxes six and seven hold miscellaneous materials.
