Archival history

Nouwen originally accumulated his own published works through subscriptions, news services, publishers, article authors, or friends. In 1975 he began to transfer this material to the Yale Divinity School Library where it was arranged and numbered. Nouwen's office continued to transfer his material to Yale until 2000. Additional published material was also accumulated at L'Arche Daybreak from 1986 and continuing after his death in 1996. The two sources of published material were brought together at the Nouwen Archives where they were merged in 2001-2002.
