The Roy A. Anderson Papers, 1909-1995 (10 boxes) document the career and life of Anderson during the second half of the twentieth century, and the early history of Lockheed Corporation from the early 1900s into the 1990s. The collection is divided into two series, Lockheed Corporation and Personal, with the bulk of materials concentrated in the Lockheed Corporation series. The bulk of the collection consists of photographs, correspondence, clippings, and ephemera. The collection is especially rich in photographic prints of early Lockheed aircraft, employees, and customers. The collection is small; as such, it does not document the detailed activities of the Lockheed Corporation.

Manuscript by George Thomas Anderson describing the involvement of the 1st Georgia Regulars at the Battle of Thoroughfare Gap, Virginia, on August 28, 1862. Anderson describes marching ahead of Longstreet's corps and directing the 9th Georgia Regiment under a Col. Beck to move forward and prevent surprise attacks. The troops unexpectedly encountered a Union cavalry and exchanged fire as the Georgia brigade attempted to take a hill near a railroad station. Anderson writes that when his men reached the top of the hill they were so close to the Union troops that one of Anderson's captains "brought down 3 or 4 with his pistol." He concludes that with the aid of Henry Bennings's regiments his men were ultimately able to hold off the Union troops and advance through the gap. On the verso of the manuscript is a sketch map illustrating Anderson's account.
