The Hillman collection consists of Dr. Hillman's work up until the year 2000.

Dr. James Hillman is a leading scholar in Jungian and Post-Jungian thought and an imaginative clinician and teacher closely associated with Jungian centered studies including Pacifica Graduate Institute. He is considered to be one of the most important radical critics and innovators of contemporary culture.

The James Hillman collection is comprised of manuscripts, drafts, research files and publishing agreements for most of James Hillman’s books, essays, lectures, and collaborative volumes. It also includes unpublished lectures and writings, as well as audio versions of seminars and lectures; and correspondence with friends, scholars, colleagues, and artists. The collection is organized into several series:

Series A consists of books and monographs, and comprises 32 boxes with material for works that include The Dream and the Underworld, Emotion, Suicide and the Soul, The Force of Character, and Healing Fiction. This material encompasses research files, book proofs, drafts, notes, and manuscripts. It also includes 3 boxes containing manuscripts and research for Re-visioning Psychology, the drafts for the Terry Lectures, from which the book originated, as well as the drafts and revised versions for the chapters on personifying and pathologyzing. This series also contains 10 boxes with material for The Soul’s Code, including initial and late drafts for the book, the research files, reviews, handwritten notes and publishing background information.

Series B includes 9 boxes with material for collaborative volumes, including drafts and correspondence for Freud’s Own Cookbook, written with Charles Boer. The series also holds the notes and drafts for We’ve Had a Hundred Years of Psychotherapy and the World’s Getting Worse, as well as correspondence with co-author Michael Ventura regarding the book. Also included in Series B are drafts, notes, manuscripts, correspondence, and research files for Pan and the Nightmare, Oedipus Revisited, Inter-Views, A Psychological Commentary to Kundalini, and The Feeling Function.

Series C, D, and E consist of material for volumes edited by James Hillman, as well as published essays and lectures—including 5 boxes of drafts, research and manuscripts for his contributions to the Eranos Lectures.

Series L holds correspondence with scholars, artists, and friends. These include letters from Marie Louis von Franz, Henry Corbin, Aniela Jaffé, Franz Jung, Aldo Carotenuto, Rafael Lopez-Pedraza, Adolf Guggenbuhl-Craig, Wolfgang Giergerich, Enrique Pardo, Edward Casey, Robert Avens, Wendy Doniger O’Flaherty, Huston Smith and writers such as Ursula LeGuin, Gary Snyder and the editors of Hillman’s books and essays.

Scholars may make notes during review of materials for reference purposes, but quotations over one hundred words require permission from the Library Director or the Special Collections Librarian. Any substantial quotes (over 500 words) require explicit permission from James Hillman in addition to possible copyright and royalty payments. Works involving extensive paraphrasing or presentation of ideas representing substantial intellectual property of the author (e.g. James Hillman) require permission and written agreement regarding sharing of royalties.
