How this archive came to be.
After our Monday night seminars, Marlene, Leo, and I would hang around and then escort Dąbrowski out. I would usually offer him a ride home, but he always refused, preferring to walk the approximately 20 blocks home. One night around 11:30, we walked out into a beautiful, cold, and clear night. He pulled me aside and told me he wanted me to “keep his original theory alive.” He said he wanted the theory to be researched and refined. However, he stressed that he wanted this progress to stem from his understanding of development as presented in his work. This archive honours Dr. Dąbrowski’s request to preserve and promote his original theory.

⚁ 2.1 Introduction: Acquiring Dąbrowski’s original works has
always presented a challenge. One of my primary objectives is to enhance
accessibility to the source materials, thereby enabling individuals to
assess how the theory may apply to them and encouraging researchers to
delve into the theory.
≻ I was lucky to have received all of Dr.
Dąbrowski’s English books and papers, and around two-thirds of
his Polish books. However, there is still a lot of work to be done in
terms of obtaining and digitizing his Polish articles.
