"The Silkworth Collection"  Special Archives Workshop
This Silkworth Collection is a treasure trove of never-before-seen personal documents and speech transcripts Dr. Silkworth gave in the 1940s on Alcoholics Anonymous.  This collection would be like today, finding a grandparent’s chest in an attic loaded with never-before-seen letters, speech transcripts, and pictures of their life. Our state archivist, Drew H, will also show clips of medical journals where Silkworth defines what he means by phrases like “Moral Psychology.”  Don’t miss this workshop!!
