Husserl Archives
The Husserl Archives promotes and facilitates research on Edmund Husserl and phenomenological philosophy. The archives provides scholars with access to copies of transcriptions of Husserl’s unpublished writings from the Husserl Archives in Leuven, Belgium. It also organizes small research groups and seminars that bring together students and scholars from around the world who are working on topics related to phenomenological philosophy.
The archives was established in 1966 in memory of the social phenomenologist Alfred Schutz. After fleeing Austria in 1938, Schutz joined the faculty of the University in Exile at The New School in 1939. He taught both sociology and philosophy and also served as chair of the Department of Philosophy.
