Scope and content

The Anne Roe papers is comprised of two series. The first contains the data that Anne Roe collected on 64 scientists for her 1953 book, The Making of a Scientist. The material for each scientist includes transcripts of interviews, Rorschach and Thematic Apperception Tests, personal data, reprints of the scientist's publications, and letters several years after each interview asking for additional information. There are also photostats of letters and notes by the scientists dating earlier than 1949; holders of the originals of the photostats are unknown. The secomd series is a collection off-prints of Roe’s published research works from 1927-1974.
