- catalog abstract "The collection, consisting mainly of Anderson's manuscript and typescript plays and screenplays, covers the time period 1931 to the present day, with the bulk of the materials representing his work from the 1960s and 1970s. Of particular importance are the author's notes that accompany the drafts. These notes provide valuable insight into the activities and events surrounding the formation of the works. Such notes, provided by the author and attached to the drafts, offer a rare glimpse into the development of not only the individual plays, but into the development of Anderson as a playwright. Also included are translations, correspondence, reviews, programs, photographs, and posters for many of the plays and their performances. The collection contains some published works of Anderson's as well: copies of his plays, contributions to newspapers, interviews, and an introduction to a book. There are, in addition, some references to Anderson's personal life; articles devoted to his first wife, Phyllis Anderson, and reviews of his second wife, Teresa Wright, the actress.".

- catalog description "Robert Woodruff Anderson was born in New York City on April 28, 1917 and was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy (1931-35), and at Harvard University, where he received both his A.B. (magna cum laude) in 1939 and his M.A. in 1940. After completion of the latter, Anderson married Phyllis Stohl, a director at the Erskine School in Boston. During this time he continued to write, but is was not until the production of his play, All Summer Long, in 1952 that Anderson emerged as a serious talent. In 1953 the play for which Anderson is most commonly remembered, Tea and Sympathy, was first produced. The play was a magnificent success and secured Anderson a distinguished place in the theater community.".
