In addition to a brief biography
of Elam, there is now a longer biography of Elam and Colena
written by Colena. She entitled it
The Annals of the
House of An, "House of An" being the name for the Elam
Anderson family which Colena used as a result of their years in
China, 1917-1932. It was published by her in 1960, fifteen
years after Elam's death. It begins with Elam and Colena's
meeting in 1913 at Cornell University and goes through the
aftermath of Elam's death in 1944. It was reissued by
their son, Victor, in 2000.
