The Center for the Studies of the Person in La Jolla, California housed a small library containing the works of Carl Rogers, his journals, videos of Carl at work and other things pertaining to Carl Rogers.  Last year when the Center moved to a new location in La Jolla it donated the contents of the library to the University of California at Santa Barbara.  Having had access to this library for a number of years, I wondered what had become of it and how was it being used at its new home.  I took a day trip to Santa Barbara with a friend in pursuit of finding what had once made up Carl's library.
After having to go to a couple of different places since no one had an inkling how to help me find what I was looking for, I decided to search through UCSB's library to see what I could find.  Not finding anything in the Psychology section of the library, I discovered the Special Collections Department on the third floor.  I went in and introduced myself and told them that I was looking for the remnants of Carl's library.  I was introduced to a man named David E. Russell who had himself met with Carl in 1986 doing a series of interviews and wrote an oral history of Carl's life.  Especially since I had not made

an appointment to meet with anyone in advance, I left very welcomed and David was very kind to show me what kinds of things that they were doing with Carl's work.
Carl's work is now being housed in the Humanistic Psychology Archive in Special Collections at the UCSB Library along with the work of other prominent psychologists.  David brought out several things for me to look through such as Carl's journal from his trip to China.  He showed me the original, how it was being preserved in the archive and the transcript of the journal.  Carl's daughter Natalie donated many personal family photos along with the love letters of Carl and his wife Helen.  These letters have all been transcribed so that they can be read by others without harming the originals.  The photographs will be put on CDs for everyone to see in the near future.  I found the letters between Carl and Helen to be so touching.  It was evident how much their love for each other grew over the three year span of these letters.  The first letters were cordial and friendly growing into sweet and tender words between two people who loved each other dearly.  I felt privileged to have a look into their relationship.
I was so happy to see what they have already
