The Archive and Study Centre is a specialist repository devoted to planned environment therapy, therapeutic community, milieu therapy, and the group therapies in general, as well as to progressive/alternative/democratic education. It began life in 1989 with the donation of the personal and professional papers of residential therapeutic child care pioneer David Wills OBE. It has since become a nationally and internationally recognised home to over two hundred archive collections, an active oral history programme with over 1500 audio and video recordings, a research library with over 7,000 volumes, and an active support and information service, housed within a combination of adapted and purpose-built, secure and environmentally-controlled facilities. We work closely with the History of Medicine Unit at the University of Birmingham and the Child Care History Network. The P.E.T.T. is the administrative seat for the Association of Therapeutic Communities.
