The Silverman Center actively seeks any known archival material in phenomenology. The most significant archival treasure in all of phenomenology is the Husserl Archives. These are the unpublished papers of the founder of the movement: originals at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belguim, with branch archives here at Duquesne, in New York, Paris, Cologne, and Freiburg. The Husserl papers are the most important acquisition in the history of the Silverman Center to date.
