This collection features an assortment of materials, organized
alphabetically by personal names and pertaining to the history of
psychoanalysis. Consisting mainly of articles, clippings, biographies,
and obituaries, the files often provide an important background
information on the miscellaneous subjects and notable people
not
presented by the individual BPSI collections. Several files,
containing additional materials for already established BPSI
collections, were placed in the Vertical File to help researchers
access a quick ready-reference resource without delving into larger
archives.
