The Research for a United States Chronology of Antarctica subseries, dated 1889, and 1920-1990, contains chronologies, reports, research notes, publications and articles that examine some aspect of the United States' activities in Antarctica, including Operation Deep Freeze and polar aviation. Many materials in this subseries appear connected to Anderson's National Science Foundation funded project, "A Chronology of the United States in Antarctica" from 1984-1987. The project's goal was to create a annotated chronology that ranged from 1949 to the late 1980s that would be distributed to researchers in print form. This subseries is arranged in four further subseries: Chronology of the U.S. in Antarctica, Operation Deep Freeze, Operation Deep Freeze: Analysis, and Polar Aviation.

The project's goal was to create an annotated chronology that ranged from 1949 to the late 1980s that would be available to researchers and continue from the timeline established by the book, Americans in Antarctica, 1775-1948 by Kenneth John Bertrand. Materials are arranged alphabetically by topical descriptions and then chronologically.
