| title | Anderson Family Collection |
| repository | The Society of the Cincinnati |
| description | Larz and Isabel Anderson were prolific writers, keen to capture their travels and memoirs in journal, photograph, and book form. Many of these historical resources are part of the library's Anderson Family Collection. A cornerstone of this collection is a set of Larz Anderson's typescript journals—thirty-eight volumes that chronicle diplomatic missions and the daily life and travels of Larz and Isabel Anderson from his graduation from Harvard University in 1888 to 1936, the year before his death. The Society has collected nearly all of Isabel Anderson's published works, including books for children, poetry, plays, and travelogues. Larz Anderson was an accomplished sketch artist and published several gift volumes of his works, which are part of the collection, along with many of his original sketches and scrapbooks. This collection also encompasses archival material documenting the early history of Anderson House, including its construction and original furnishings. A significant piece of this collection is architectural photographs taken of Anderson House in 1910 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, one of the first American women to achieve distinction as a photographer. The collection also contains materials that support research of the art and artifact collection that Larz and Isabel Anderson assembled, including correspondence with dealers, photographs, inventories, and blueprints. In addition to works by and about Larz and Isabel Anderson and their Washington home, the collection includes manuscripts and archival material collected by and relevant to other members of the Anderson family. Among the more prominent family members represented in the collection are Richard Clough Anderson (1750-1826), a lieutenant colonel in the Virginia Continental Line during the Revolutionary War and original member of the Society of the Cincinnati, and Robert Anderson (1805-1871), the commanding Union officer at Fort Sumter at the beginning of the Civil War. To aid research on these topics, the library also collects modern works related to the Anderson family, the Gilded Age in Washington, and the art and architecture of Anderson House. |

| title | Records of the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection, 1904- : Guide. |
| repository | The Arnold Arboretum |
| description | While the majority of the holding is photographs that document the history of individual plants and the collection, the Records of the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection also includes publications by Larz and Isabel Anderson, articles and photographs of Weld and the Bonsai Collection before it came to the Arnold Arboretum, and correspondence between Isabel Anderson and E.D. Merrill about the donation of the Bonsai Collection to the Arnold Arboretum. Also included are articles about the Bonsai Collection at the Arnold Arboretum and its curators. Photographs include prints of the Bonsai houses, exhibits, maintenance, and other general subjects. Individual portraits of the plants over the years 1969-1989 are also included, along with some oversized prints. History notes: Larz Anderson (1866-1937) was born in Paris in 1866, while his parents were visiting Europe. In August 1888, after graduating from Harvard College in June, he embarked on a trip around the world which lasted two years and included his first exposure to Japan. Upon his return from Japan in 1913, Larz Anderson imported at least forty trees from the Yokohama Nursery Company. Following his death in April, 1937, Isabel Anderson donated the major portion of the collection (30 plants) to the Arnold Arboretum, along with the funds necessary to build a shade house for their display on the grounds of the Bussey Institution. In 1949, following her death, the remaining plants were donated to the Arboretum. |
