The papers of Heinz Hartmann (1894-1970) and Dora Hartmann (1902-1974) span the years 1928-1974, with the bulk of the material dated 1944-1974. The collection consists of correspondence, memoranda, reports, minutes, drafts of writings, patient files, bylaws, brochures, lists, and printed matter pertaining principally to the Hartmanns’ work with the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and to Heinz Hartmann’s writing and editorial projects. The papers are in English, German, French, and shorthand. They are arranged in three series ; the Heinz Hartmann Papers, Dora Hartmann Papers, and a Closed series.
The Heinz Hartmann Papers include general correspondence, a subject file, writings, and a small group of miscellaneous papers. The general correspondence consists primarily of incoming correspondence and relates to Hartmann’s writing and editorial projects, most notably
The writings file includes some of Hartmann’s book reviews, an article on Sigmund Freud, early articles on twins, and an article on the superego coauthored with Rudolph Maurice Loewenstein. Featured in the writings file is a large assemblage of unpublished manuscripts and notes, some in shorthand, which illuminate Hartmann’s influence as a discussant and training analyst on the development of psychoanalysis. Most of this material consists of Hartmann’s introductions of papers given by fellow analysts and his notes from ensuing discussions. The earliest notes record in shorthand a discussion between Freud, Paul Federn, and others in 1928. The bulk of Hartmann’s notes dates from 1946 to 1960.

Material dated 1958-1962 relates in particular to budgetary issues and her duties as the institute’s treasurer.
