Scope and Content Note

The papers of Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) span the years 1949-1994, with the bulk of the material dating from 1956 to 1960. The papers consist of correspondence, transcripts of interviews, and drafts of writings relating to Jung's autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections (New York: Pantheon Books, 1963). The autobiography was largely written by Jung's secretary, Aniela Jaffé, based on her interviews with Jung between 1956 and 1958. The papers include transcripts of Jaffé's interview notes, which she referred to as "protocols," and drafts, primarily in German, of various portions of the autobiography maintained in the order created by Jaffé in folders labelled A to G. A letter dated 29 June 1977 from William McGuire outlining the origin of the material, its historical significance, and the contents of each folder is filed with the collection.

The papers also include R. F. C. Hull's English translation of the first three chapters of Jung's autobiography. These chapters relate to Jung's childhood and youth and were written largely by Jung himself. Hull's translation contains annotations by Jung, Jaffé, and Hull. Also included are photocopies of correspondence from Jung to Hull between 1949 and 1961, much of it pertaining to Hull's translations of Jung's works.

Portions of the papers given to the Library by Princeton University Press, consisting of Aniela Jaffé's correspondence, notes, and drafts, were originally organized and described as part of the records of the Bollingen Foundation located in the Manuscript Division. This material was transferred to the Jung Papers in 1995.

Arrangement of the Papers

This collection is arranged under the title of the autobiography and therein alphabetically by name of person.
