Harvard professor of psychiatry and Pulitzer Prize-winning author John E. Mack, M.D., passed away on September 27, 2004. Beyond his wide array of published works, Dr. Mack left behind several thousand documents which could serve as an ideal resource for researchers investigating the many themes which Dr. Mack boldly explored in his life. This initiative will preserve, through a process of scanning paper documents, the unpublished materials Dr John Mack produced as well as rare published materials.
