Supplementary Materials and Resources

Supplementary Finding Aids

1. Menninger Archives Card Catalog

The Menninger Archives Card Catalog was created by archivists employed by the Menninger Foundation. The Catalog indexes and cross-references material pertaining to all three record groups of Kansas State Historical Society’s collection of the Menninger Archives: Menninger Family Archives, the Menninger Foundation Corporate Archives, and the Historical Psychiatry Collections, though most material located in locations 118, and some material in locations 102, were not incorporated into the indexing process. Regardless of topic, however, researchers are urged to consult Menninger Archives Card Catalog in order to take maximum advantage of the existing cross-referencing.

2. Miscellaneous indices

There are other indices in this cabinet besides those listed below (such as “Index to Working Files”, “KAM Archives”) but I have not been able to determine what material they cover or if they are still helpful to us.

a. Index for photographic collections housed in 118-14. See IV- Other Collections, Photographic Collections for series lists.

b. “Index to Historical Scrapbooks (1919-1925)” by subject, author, title.
I’m assuming these refer to scrapbooks in range 104. not verified at this point.

c. “Rudimentary Index to TPR”, subject, author title. Not very extensive.

d. Citations and Summaries from Topeka State Journal (green cards) and Topeka Daily Capital (blue cards) re: Menninger family and Foundation, by article date.

3. Binders located at 104-03-02-04

These binders provide contents lists by box for the same material covered by the Menninger Archives Card Catalog. However, the material represents only a fraction of the material in the KSHS Menninger Archives Collection. Researchers should consult first the KSHS finding aid; where the binders below are helpful, direct reference is made to the appropriate series and binder.

KAM Collections
Tape [Reel-to-Reel] Collections
Corporate Archives Lists
Historic Psychiatry Collections

4. Finding Aids in folders

104-04-02-11
Alphabetically arranged by last name, subject, or department/program (interfiled). The collections therein are only a fraction of the material held in the KSHS Menninger Archives collection. For the most complete listing of Menninger Collections holdings, researchers should first consult the KSHS finding aid. Where these folder lists might be helpful, direct reference is made to the in the KSHS finding aid.

4. Range 104 shelf list, in appendix as “Museum and Archives, Records of”
This material has not been assimilated into the finding aid, and is a good mix of historical material pertinent to the Menninger Foundation’s establishment, including many scrapbooks. Until this material has been incorporated into the finding aid, this shelf list should be skimmed in case pertinent material might obviously be there.

KSHS Library Holdings (several years old)

Some of the Library Holdings may be duplicated/added to in archival collections. Researchers should also consult KSHS Ms. Collection finding aid.
