The Peter Colgrove – Olga de Hartmann collection added to the Archive.

September 5, 2025 By GHS Admin

This collection is from the personal archives of Peter Colgrove, a friend of Olga de Hartmann. He worked with Mme. de Hartmann, Tom Daly, and Tom Forman for many years. There are photographs of Mme. de Hartmann on their travels together and at Nambe, near Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Some of the photographs that Peter Colgrove had in his possession belonged to Mme. de Hartmann before she met him.  Photographs of Thomas and Olga de Hartmann, Mme. de Hartmann’s family, Mme. Ouspensky, Mme. de Salzmann, William Segal, and others are included in the collection. The collection was donated by Jan Jarvis who received the materials from Elizabeth St. Lawrence. Some photographs of the Prieuré are also included.

Peter Colgrove, Lord Pentland (Henry John Sinclair) and Olga de Hartmann in 1977.

Jean Toomer’s copy of All & Everything (Beelzebub’s Tales) added to the Archive

December 24, 2024 By GHS Admin

Jean Toomer’s copy of All & Everything (Beelzebub’s Tales) was added to the Gurdjieff Writings archive collection in April of this year.

This early draft of Mr. Gurdjieff’s first series Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson not only precedes the first published edition of 1950, but also an earlier unpublished 1931 version now in circulation. It has been donated to the GHS by Robert Fertman who received it from a friend who received it from a woman from Doylestown, connected to the family of Jean Toomer.

Active members are encouraged to visit the Gurdjieff Writings archive by logging in here.

Saturday Evenings at Mendham

Saturday Evenings at Mendham

Conversations with Madame Ouspensky

Compiled and edited by

Available wherever books are sold, including Amazon and the following independent booksellers:

This book provides entirely new source material for the Gurdjieff Work. It is an authentic transcription of talks given by Madame Ouspensky to her group at Mendham, distilled from notes taken by her pupils at the time.

Students of Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way know little about Madame Ouspensky’s thought or teaching because she left no written body of work-although some of her sayings were recalled by Robert de Ropp in his short account of his time with her. That has been virtually the only material extant. Until now.

Now, an authentic transcription of talks given by Madame Ouspensky to her group at Mendham is published here by the Gurdjieff Heritage Society. The talks, distilled from pupils notes, have been painstakingly compiled and edited by the late Dorothy Darlington who spent years with Madame and Mr Ouspensky and who had a special affinity with Madame.
