Library Collections
The Robert Ault Archives of the American Art Therapy Association is located at the main library of Emporia State University in Emporia, KS. Named in honor of the founder of the master’s in art therapy program at ESU and a pioneering figure in the field of art therapy, the Archives will function as the permanent location for the preservation and storage of AATA’s historical documents and materials. As of 2009 the archiving process is still underway but once completed will be made available to AATA members and the public.
