Menninger Ms. Collection and Supplementary Research
Material
Introduction
In 2004, the Mennninger Foundation transferred title to their institutional
archives to the Kansas State Historical Society. The collection contains
over 2300 cubic feet of records tracing the history of Menninger in
Topeka, Kansas, and its work in the field of mental health. Innovative
approaches developed by Menninger staff for treating patients with various
mental illnesses are documented in this collection. Menninger was one
of the leaders in training psychiatrists and in working with veteran's
hospitals and law enforcement agencies to incorporate information about
mental illness into staff training. The collection also contains correspondence
of various Menninger family members including Charles F. and Flo Menninger,
their sons Karl and William and their grandsons Roy and Walter. The
collection includes Photographs and other audiovisual materials.
This collection will be an important source for those researching
developments in the history of the treatment of the mentally ill, the
history of Topeka, and health professions in Kansas and the nation.
Holdings in the KSHS library and manuscripts collections and artifacts
in the Kansas Museum of History complement the Archives. Institutional
records date from the 1920s but are strongest for the years 1940-1999,
with a large quantity of the records being from the 1970s through the
1990s. The Historic Psychiatry Collection includes documents pertaining
to leaders in the fields of mental health and psychiatry and dates from
1774.
In the summer of 2004, Audrey McKanna, Lela
Barnes archival intern, created additional finding aids to the collection,
reproduced here, building on the work previously done by Menninger Archivists
Bea Horne, Kelly Burket, and Connie Menninger.
