These papers document the career of astronomer John A. Anderson. The bulk of the documentation is in the form of correspondence, calculations, drawings, and photos. They relate chiefly to Palomar Observatory and Anderson's work on the instrument and optical design of the telescope.

Correspondence, articles, and speeches of the head of the Scandinavian department of the University of Minnesota (1907-1929).

The bulk of the collection consists of typed manuscripts for various articles including: "Radisson, first European on Iowa Soil"; "Coals that were France's"; three articles on John Kasson including "An Iowan before the Hapsburg Throne"; an article on railroads; an article on the Hayes-Tilden presidential election of 1876; and two drafts of the article "Iowa and the Secession of the South". The collection also includes two letters written to Grace Cooper and a list of riddles

The diaries form the bulk of the collection and offer researchers insight into the social, campus, family and church life of a scientific man living in twentieth century America. Although Jacobson makes occasional note of his scientific work, the mentions are brief at best. He instead chose to focus on the events of daily life, including during his studies in the U.S. and abroad and during his long career at West Virginia University. He is direct and unflinching in many of his entries, perhaps as a result of his scientific training. The span of the journals, along with the insightful nature of their contents, make them valuable for research into many aspects of early twentieth century social and family history

This collection consists of confidential student records relating to students that attended the Arts and Sciences campuses (known by various names, geographical locations, and subdivisions) of Johns Hopkins University from 1876 to the present.
