The collection contains research notes and photographs related to Andersen’s research on Mississippi showboats. The research primarily focuses on the Chapman family, who invented the medium, but also includes information on the development of the flatboat and general theater history. A draft copy of his manuscript, “The Chapmans of the Showboat,” is included. Photographs of Andersen and his wife, Helen, at his retirement party are also part of the collection.
