THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF an anonymous donor, a unique collection of psychoanalytic books and articles has been assembled in the Central Office of The American Psychoanalytic Association. The collection consists of first editions of virtually all of the analytic writings of Sigmund Freud and a number of significant selected works by other pioneers in psychoanalysis. It also contains many of Freud's early preanalytic writings.
These valuable works were donated to the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association and are dedicated to the pursuit of psychoanalytic scholarship. The Editor of the Journal was designated Curator of the collection, which was assigned in perpetuity to The American Psychoanalytic Association. The President of The Association appointed the Committee on Psychoanalytic Classics to arrange, with the approval of the Curator, the proper housing and cataloging of the materials and the supervision of their usage. It is hoped that the generous example of the donor will stimulate others to contribute worthy additions to the Journal collection and to The American Psychoanalytic Association. Contributions to, or recommendations for new purchases for the collection, can be sent to the Curator, Dr. Harold P. Blum, and, if desired, can be designated as confidential.
