Abstract

Robert S. Hartman passed away prematurely in 1973, having been only 63 years old. He produced a tremendous opus which has not yet been sufficiently explored. Whereas nearly all aspects of the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) have been thoroughly disclosed, many other materials still await their discovery. Official documents, entire unpublished book manuscripts, many pictures, his diaries, as well as endless hours of audiotapes from lectures and workshops are stored in about 120 boxes inside hundreds of folders. The list of items is very long. The compiled archive index alone comprises 178 pages. Eight main series (MS) encompass his complete legacy, granted by his widow, Rita Hartman, to the Special Collections Library of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. This article gives an overview of the Hartman archives, delves into some of the materials in more detail, outlines plans for further exploration of the archives, and aims to stimulate the reader to visit the archives personally or to explore some materials within the member area of the Robert S. Hartman Institute Europe, http://www.hartmaninstitute.eu.
