TOPEKA — The Kansas Historical Society recently completed a two-year project documenting the contents of 2,500 cubic feet of records from the Menninger Foundation Archives. The archives include papers of Menninger family member psychiatrists C.F., Karl, Roy, Walter and William; corporate records documenting the early clinic and the School of Psychiatry, and the rise of professional psychoanalysis. There’s also a historic psychiatry collection, which includes manuscripts of Sigmund Freud, Florence Nightingale and Benjamin Rush. Some of the records are on the Historical Society’s on-line digital archive called “Kansas Memory.” Visit the website kansasmemory.org. The Menninger Clinic was started in 1925 in Topeka. The clinic became an internationally known psychiatric hospital with postgraduate training programs for psychiatrists, psychologists and others. The Menninger Clinic moved to Houston 10 years ago.
