- The papers consist of a "Sjøfartsbok," recording his terms as a merchant seaman, with notations for 1916-1918; a handwritten notebook entitled "Norske Stiler av Ansten Anstensen," with marks and corrections, perhaps from his study at St. Olaf College; and clippings by and about Anstensen, 1925-1942. Anstensen graduated from St. Olaf College in 1925, received a Ph. D. from Columbia University and studied in Germany, and founded the German Department at the University of Saskatchewan.
The papers were found in the attic of Old Ytterboe Hall, a men's dormitory at St. Olaf College, in March 1977.
