The Sigmund Freud Archives mainly consist of a trove of documents housed at the US Library of Congress[1][2] and in the former residence of Sigmund Freud during the last year of his life, at 20 Maresfield Gardens in northwest London. The archive comprises Freud's tapes, letters and papers.[2] It was founded in 1951 by Kurt R. Eissler among others, and received contributions from Anna Freud.[2]
It was at the center of a complicated scandal, described in Janet Malcolm's book In the Freud Archives and also covered by Jeffrey Masson in his book Final Analysis.
