Identifier: MSS 196

Abstract

Dorothy Anderson was a missionary who worked in Tanzania between the 1940s and 1950s. It is unknown when she was born; however, she was a student at Augustana College over the course of the 1940s and potentially 1950s. Based on the collection, her missionary work focused soley on Tanzania from the beginning of the 1940s through the late 1950s. This collection is the result of that missionary work, as it is made up of texts and writings that either pertained to her experiences in Tanzania or aided in her missionary work among Tanzanians.
