Postcards, photographs, drawings, ephemera, manuscript items, publications, posters and blueprints collected and created by architect Lynn Anderson documenting the work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. After graduating from engineering and architecture school, Anderson went to work for Wright as a family server and, after Wright's death, stayed on as a architect with Taliesin Associated Architects. Of particular note are the images of the aftermath of the fire and murders at Taliesin (Spring Green, Wis.) in 1914 including the hatchet used in the murders and images of the destruction in Tokyo after the 1923 earthquake.

The processed portion of this collection is summarized above and is described in the register. Additional accessions are described below.

Digital prints for vintage prints of the 1914 fire at Taliesin, the damage after the Tokyo earthquake, and the image of Wright and his granddaughter, actress Anne Baxter, are available.
