Columbia Rare Book and Manuscript Library
Columbia University RBML holds the Otto Rank collection, the main assemblage of papers, letters, and documents relating to Rank, donated mainly by his friend and colleague Jessie Taft, his widow, Estelle Buel Rank, and his daughter, Helene Rank Veltfort. Unlike the Freud collection at the Library of Congress, the Rank papers are all open to qualified scholars, and include Freud letters, the complete Rundbriefe (Circular letters) of Freud’s committee (Rank, Ferenczi, Eitingon, Sachs, Abraham, Jones–recently published in German, 4 vols.), Freud’s ms. of Massenpsychologie (his gift to Rank) and many folders of Rank’s mss., notes, and photos. There are no patient records.
