BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — The Kinsey Institute at Indiana
University says its library has been given the archives of pioneering
sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson.
The
collection includes letters, records, correspondence, research papers,
media coverage and other materials chronicling Masters and Johnson’s
groundbreaking work beginning in 1957 at Washington University in St.
Louis and stretching into the 1990s. By directly observing the
anatomical and physiological sexual responses of their human subjects,
Masters and Johnson are credited with breakthroughs in the areas
involving human sexual response and sexual disorders.
The institute says the materials were donated by Virginia Johnson and her family. Masters died in 2001.
Researchers
and scholars from around the world use the Kinsey Institute Research
Collections, named after IU sex researcher Alfred Kinsey.
