Material on John Anderson in the Sydney University Archives Compiled by Jim Packer, 2005-6 A micro-description of all John Anderson material held in records in the University of Sydney Archives, drawn from an examination of the records themselves and using as a template the Guide to the Anderson Family Archives and other personal archives guides. Records examined include: SUA P42 John Anderson and Family Papers, as well as SUA P88 (A.K. Stout); P158 (Ruth Walker); P169 (Alexander Mackie and Family); P196 (W.H.C. Eddy); P198 (Tom Rose); P212 (David Stove); and SUA M (Miscellaneous) 237, 240, 242-3, 287, 307, 468. The numbering is based on the Guides produced by the University of Sydney Archives. The format follows the Series/Box/Item registration in the Guides (all in bold type). Where there are multiple components to an item and where these seem to require expansion, I have used / annotation to indicate this further expansion. These / annotations are not in the Guides and only itemize JA material. Abbreviations AET A.E. Taylor HE W.H.C.Eddy PL Peter Loveday AJA Sandy Anderson JA John Anderson rev. reverse AJB A.J.
