Biographical Note

Robert Gordon Wasson was born on September 22, 1898, in Great Falls, Montana, and grew up in Newark, New Jersey.
Wasson attended three years of high school before joining his older brother, Thomas, in Europe in 1914. He spent more than a
year traveling in France and Spain. Wasson enlisted in 1917 and served as a radio operator in the American Expeditionary
Forces in France during World War I.

After the war Wasson enrolled in the Columbia School of Journalism. He graduated in 1920 and was awarded the first Pulitzer
Traveling Scholarship. He spent the next year at the London School of Economics and returned to Columbia University to
teach English for the 1921-1922 academic year. Between 1922 and 1928 Wasson worked as a journalist for various
publications in Connecticut and New York. He married Russian pediatrician, Valentina (Tina) Pavlovna Guercken, in 1926.
While the Wassons were enjoying a delayed honeymoon in the Catskills Mountains, Tina recognized mushrooms similar to
those she knew from Russia. The encounter sparked an interest that the couple shared for the rest of their lives. The Wassons
went on to explore all aspects of mushrooms, integrating information from numerous fields, including mycology, history,
linguistics, religion, mythology, art, and archaeology.

Wasson worked for the Guaranty Company in New York City from 1928-1934 and spent time on assignment in Argentina and
London. He joined the J.P. Morgan Company in 1934 and ultimately became vice-president there in 1943.

The Wassons made their first expedition to Mexico in 1953 to research the magico-religious use of mushrooms. In 1955 they
participated in the sacred mushroom rituals of the Mazatec Indians. They collaborated closely with French botanist, Roger
Heim, who accompanied them on expeditions. After Tina’s death in 1958, Wasson continued to make yearly trips to Mexico
until 1962. He retired from J.P. Morgan in 1963 to devote his time to ethnomycological research, turning his focus to the Far
and Middle East. He spent much of his time from May 1963 to February 1966 in New Zealand, New Guinea, Thailand, Japan,
Korea, China, Nepal, India, Afghanistan, and Iran.

Wasson lectured informally on his research findings and spoke at numerous symposia. In addition to his own publications, his
findings appeared in scholarly publications. He was appointed a Research Fellow in Ethnopharmacology at the Harvard
University Botanical Museum, and Honorary Research Associate at the New York Botanical Garden. Additionally, he served on
numerous committees and boards. Wasson died on December 23, 1986. Two species of Psilocybe mushrooms were named in
his honor.

Scope And Content

The collection comprises approximately 65 linear feet of material and contains correspondence, notes, memoranda, lists,
notebooks, diaries, manuscript material, proofs, illustrations, maps, charts, stamps, clippings, artifacts, original artwork,
moving image, audio, and photographic material pertaining to the Wassons' ethnomycological research and Gordon Wasson’s
literary and political interests. The bulk of the collection dates from 1945-1986. There are approximately 20,300 letters, 800
photographs, 3,400 35mm slides, and 200 artifacts.

There is no family correspondence, banking correspondence, or correspondence with Thomas Riedlinger, editor of “The Sacred
Mushroom Seeker: Essays for R. Gordon Wasson” (1990).

Individual correspondents may be represented in multiple series. Not all correspondents are identified by folder labels. Within
each folder of correspondence, materials were originally divided into three groups: carbon copies of letters written by Wasson,
arranged chronologically; letters to Wasson, arranged chronologically; and letters and additional papers inserted between the
first two groups at a later date, possibly in advance of their transfer to the Botanical Museum. No attempt was made to
interfile the three groupings.
