Also held are member files and correspondence, organization by-laws, accreditations, and legal and financial documents. The collection also includes papers of the Psychoanalytic Studies at Aspen, the offshoot of CAPS founded in 1970. In general, the materials cover the period prior to the birth of the organization in 1955 to present.
