BOX 15-21 Part I: Speeches and Writings File, 1900-1996
The Speeches and Writings File contains reprints of articles and reviews together with typed and handwritten drafts, lecture notes, transcripts of discussion groups, and ancillary material documenting most of Ernst Kris's professional career. Articles and reviews pertain to his early career as associate curator at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s, and many of the writings reflect the intersection of Ernst Kris's two areas of study. The books file includes a typed draft of an unpublished work "Caricature: an Essay on Its History and Meaning," which Ernst Kris co-authored with art historian Ernst H. Gombrich, and material related to The Origins of Psychoanalysis which complements the correspondence of Anna Freud and Princess Marie Bonaparte. Research papers issued by the Research Project on Totalitarian Communication relating to psychological analysis of Nazi broadcast propaganda during World War II were funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. A collaborative effort with numerous members, the project was codirected by Ernst Kris and Hans Speier and resulted in the publication of German Radio Propaganda in 1944.
Material types include printed, typed, and holograph copies of articles; bibliographies; books; discussion transcripts; lecture notes; research papers; and reviews; together with notes, correspondence, and ancillary material.
Arranged alphabetically by author, format, or title and thereunder chronologically.

BOX 24-48 Part II: Correspondence, 1923-1989
The Correspondence series comprises personal and professional correspondence with Marianne Kris's colleagues, friends, and patients, primarily from after her immigration to America in 1940 to her death in 1980. The correspondence touches on many aspects of Marianne Kris's life and career, including her work as a psychoanalyst in private practice as well as a consultant and educator with various professional institutions and organizations. Letters exchanged with Anna Freud and Dorothy T. Burlingham are chiefly concerned with their personal lives and not their professional activities. Many letters with European correspondents are in German, although most other correspondence is in English. This series does not represent the entirety of correspondence in Part II as letters are found throughout other series, especially the Family Papers series and the Subject File. Notable correspondents include Grete L. Bibring, Dorothy T. Burlingham, K. R. Eissler, Anna Freud, Elisabeth R. Geleerd, Ernst H. Gombrich, Ilse Gombrich, Marjorie Harley, Heinz Hartmann, Jeanne Lampl-de-Groot, Anna Maenchen, Elisabeth Neumann-Viertel, Allan Roos, Beatrice M. Roos, Max Schur, Albert J. Solnit, Diana Trilling, and Lionel Trilling.
Material types include letters, greeting cards, telegrams, postcards, and photographs.
