THE SIGMUND FREUD ARCHIVES was incorporated in the State of New York on February 14, 1951. Organized by a group of internationally eminent psychoanalysts, the aim, as stated in the charter, is 'to discover, assemble, collect and preserve manuscripts, publications and other documents and information relating to the biography of the late Sigmund Freud, and to his medical, psychoanalytic and other scientific activities'. This is the first attempt to obtain and preserve for posterity a complete compilation of Freud's published and unpublished writings. Under an agreement with the Library of Congress, which will serve as curator of the collection, confidential material will be restricted at the request of the donor.
The initial projects of the Archives include collecting all letters to and from Freud; establishing a complete and reliable bibliography of his writings; interviewing all persons who knew Freud personally—regardless of how well they knew him or in what function, whether as friend, brief acquaintance, or as his patient.
Anyone who is in possession of letters or who knows of persons who have such letters, and those who knew Freud personally, are urged to communicate with the Archives at 575 Madison Avenue, New York 22, N. Y.
OFFICERS of the Archives are: Bertram D. Lewin, M.D., President; Marie Bonaparte, Henri Flournoy, M.D., Heinz Hartmann, M.D., Willie Hoffer, M.D., Ernest Jones, M.D., Jeanne Lampl-De Groot, M.D., and Philipp Sarasin, M.D., Vice-Presidents; K.
