Bollingen: An Adventure in Collecting the Past, William McGuire's 1982 history from Princeton University Press, covers the Bollingen Foundation, the publishing and grant making body closely associated with Carl Jung's work and the Eranos circle, by a former Bollingen Foundation editor. Its strength is that direct institutional access combined with academic press vetting. Its limit is that a history written by someone who worked within the institution benefits from an outside check against other sources for any claim about the foundation's internal decisions.
