The Sigmund Freud Archives mainly consist of a trove of documents housed at the US Library of Congress and in the former residence of Sigmund Freud during the last year of his life at 20 Maresfield Gardens in northwest London.

Jeffrey Masson writes about it in Chapter Nine: "Disillusions" of his book Final Analysis.
