CARP Digital Repository

Along with a variety of material chronicling the history of American scholarship on phenomenology, the Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology’s Archival Repository at the University of Memphis is home to the Helmut R. Wagner Papers. Located in aisle 14 of the Special Collections area of the Ned R. McWherter Library, the Wagner Papers consist of over seventy boxes containing more than sixty thousand pages of material, including lecture notes, essays (in various stages of completion, from handwritten first drafts to corrected galley proofs), notebooks, correspondence, reviews, translations, copies of published works (books as well as individual essays appearing in contemporaneous periodicals), together with numerous miscellaneous items such as postcards, medical records, clippings, syllabi of classes taught by Wagner at various institutions, and several books from Wagner’s personal library. The Wagner Papers are currently in the process of being numbered and microfilmed, with eight rolls of microfilm available to date.

This is an effort to enable researchers all around the world to learn about the repository holdings and, in appropriate cases, have access to digital copies of the material stored in physical archive.
