In 1878 he published Historical Sketch of the University of St Andrews. For a Bazaar at the University in 1895, he published a book on the Heraldry of St Andrews, ideas from which were used to create the current University Shield. In 1905, Anderson published a Register of Students at St Andrews, 1747-1897, and in 1926 he published Matriculation and Graduation Rolls of St Andrews University, 1413-1579. Biographical Text James Maitland Anderson was born on 22 October 1852 to a gardener in Rossie, Fife. He attended Free Church School, Giffordtown and Parish School, Auchtermuchty before continuing with private study. Early in life, Maitland worked as a cowherd before becoming a journalist and editor in his twenties. In 1880, he married Margaret Elizabeth Bain, with whom he had two daughters. In 1874 he came to St Andrews and became Assistant Librarian. Six years later he became University Librarian, a role which he kept until 1924. During that time, he also held the positions of Secretary of the University (1878-1899), Quaestor (1881-1892), and Registrar and Secretary of the General Council (1881-1899). He was also Keeper of Muniments at the university until his death in 1927. For his contributions, Maitland was awarded an honorary LL.D. in 1912. He is buried in St Andrews Eastern Cemetery.

In addition, Anderson had an interest in local history, studying the history of the town of St Andrews and the University, publishing four books on the topic over the span of 48 years. In 1895, Anderson published Heraldry of the University of St Andrews, which was used as an inspiration for the design of the current University Shield.

(e.g. geology, philosophy and medicine) Photography Most famous contribution(s) to scholarship 1 (i.e. in photography): Helped Hill and Adamson: only with her help, they could create so many photographs Images of completion of Ballochmyle railway viaduct in Ayrshire: completed after death of Adamson -> by Mann?

Supporter of Free Church -> Disruption Other societies/groups in St Andrews? No Other societies/groups elsewhere? N/A Associated places in St Andrews: (e.g. home, lab, favourite spot) House of Adamson, places associated with Brewster (United College etc.) Possible human interest story 1: Hill and Adamson are regarded as pioneers of early photography, but their creation of thousands of calotypes would not have been possible without the help of Jessie Mann Possible human interest story 2: Helped Hill and Adamson to realise photographs of people present at Great Disruption of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh -> Hill created painting with 3 Mann sisters: one of them may be Jessie! -> 3 Mann sisters present at Disruption Possible human interest story 3: A letter from the painter James Naysmith to Hill, written in 1845, asks about the health of Miss Mann, “that most skillful and zealous of assistants”. In March 1847 Nasmyth asks, “How goes on the divine solar art? And how does that worthy artist Mr Adamson the authentic contriver & manipulator of light and darkness? And thrice worthy Miss Mann the most skilful and zealous of assistants.” Possible human interest story 4: Probably only one full-length picture of her -> recently discovered in photographic collections of the University of Glasgow; no official images! Possible human interest story 5: Probably, Jessie Mann stained her hand with silver nitrate (black stains: therefore, photography called “black art”), which was essential for photographic processes at the time -> portrait with gloved right hand! Possible human interest story 6: Quote by famous art historian Simpson: "She probably did a lot of printing and processing. She was obviously quite sophisticated and educated - she was definitely an associate, not a servant. Possible human interest story 7: Adamson's death: studio closed -> school housekeeper for Andrew Balfour (private grammar school in Musselburgh) Possible human interest story 8: 1844: king of Saxony visited Hill and Adamson, but they were not at home: Thus, Mann took a picture of him with his party => probably the first photograph taken by a woman in the world!  Must have been sophisticated and educated, as she knew how to handle a camera Possible human interest story 9: Grew up as near neighbour of Hill in Perth Possible human interest story 10: Close relationship in studio: letter -> Scottish photography: The First 30 Years, p.98 Connected to other people in St Andrews or elsewhere?: Sir David Brewster Dr John Adamson Robert Adamson Hugh Lyons Fairplay Thomas Rodger James David Forbes Etc.
