The records of the Frances G. Wickes Foundation span the years
1911-1978, with the bulk of the material dating from 1955, the year the
foundation was created, to 1974, the year after the foundation was terminated.
Since Wickes had been a student of C. G. Jung and a practitioner of his
theories, the foundation primarily supported institutions and projects related
to the Jungian school of analytical psychology. Its records include
correspondence, financial material, minutes of meetings, annual reports,
corporate papers, and a file on the management of the estate of Frances G.
Wickes. Also within the estate administration file is correspondence with
Muriel Rukeyser, who helped Wickes with her final publication projects and was
her literary executor, and material concerning the estate of the writer Mary
Louise Parmalee Peebles. Peebles established a trust fund for Wickes and her
son Eliphalet. There is also correspondence from various Jungian analysts and
scholars of analytical psychology, including William McGuire.
An addition of administrative and project files was transferred in
2006 to the foundation’s records from the William McGuire Papers. The addition,
gathered by McGuire in his capacity as a member of the foundation’s board of
directors, contains correspondence, administrative and financial reports,
minutes of meetings, printed matter, and miscellaneous items documenting the
administration and funding of the foundation’s various programs and projects,
including the operation of its financial grant program and the sponsorship of
an oral history project devoted to C. G. Jung.
Oral history interviews were conducted under the direction of the
Center for the Study of Lives, Boston, Massachusetts, and comprise the C. G.
Jung Oral History Archive, which was given to the Francis A. Countway Library
of Medicine, also in Boston, upon the dissolution of the foundation.
This collection with addition is arranged alphabetically by
subject.
