Series I. Chronological Files, 1947-1985

Arranged in chronological order by date, this series contains Norman G. Anderson’s Chronological Files. The files in this series provide extensive documentation of Anderson’s professional activities, including his scientific research, instrument design activities, administrative duties, and participation in professional meetings and conferences. The Chronological Files mainly cover Anderson’s tenures at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory.
