Resources 1: Papers relating to the Archive and Study Centre by Craig Fees

These are things I've written which illustrate the background philosophy and work of the Planned Environment Therapy Trust Archive and Study Centre.  You will find most of them scattered on my main website. I brought them here en bloc to make them easier to refer to as I think, remember, and write.

They throw direct and indirect light on the Archive and Study Centre as a living and developing ecosystem and working institution.
