Monthly Updates

We began our monthly email Museum Updates in March 2004 as a way of regularly apprising our friends and supporters of the numerous activities of the Wilhelm Reich Museum and The Wilhelm Reich Infant Trust. Today our Updates reach hundreds of people across the world, providing accurate and concise information about an eclectic range of issues: Reich’s life and work; the history and future of The Wilhelm Reich Infant Trust; the administration of the Museum; the Reich Archives; publishing; new bookstore items; fundraising; summer conferences and other programs; and much more.

If you would like to receive our Monthly Reports, please send your name and email address to us at: info@wilhelmreichtrust.org. We do not share our email list with any other organizations or individuals.

Friends of the Wilhelm Reich Museum began in 1977 as a support organization to sustain the development of Orgonon as the scientific and educational center envisioned by Reich.

From then on, membership in the Friends became the most popular way for those influenced and moved by Reich’s legacy to contribute to the preservation and dissemination of this legacy. And the Friends’ Newsletter quickly became the principal communications tool for promoting the activities of The Wilhelm Reich Museum and The Wilhelm Reich Infant Trust—i.e. infrastructure and property improvements, exhibits, conferences and other events, publishing, fund-raising, etc. The Newsletter was also instrumental for enlisting new members and expanding financial support to sustain these activities. And periodically, the Newsletter printed original, unpublished materials from Reich’s archives.

The first Newsletter in the Spring of 1977 consisted of two stapled, double-sided pages. The front page was a single article about the research, development and construction of the Biographical Exhibit on the first floor of the Museum, which was first unveiled in June 2006 at an Open House that attracted 200 people from the community. The third page is devoted entirely to a biographical profile of Tom Ross, who began working for Reich in 1946 as Orgonon’s caretaker, and who was instrumental in the creation and maintenance of The Wilhelm Reich Museum.

These newsletters—especially those from 1977 to 2004 when we began our e-mail Updates—are a fascinating and often inspirational documentation of the decades of efforts to preserve and renew Reich’s legacy.
