Archive Publishing was conceived in 2002 by Hazel Marshall and Ian Thorp as a result of their passion for the work of Barbara Somers, Ian Gordon-Brown and others involved with the birth and growth of Transpersonal Psychology in the UK and USA.
Ian Thorp MA has been involved with design, print and publishing for over 40 years. He has designed many of the books and provided the illustrations for others. Through his experience as a psychotherapist and workshop facilitator, he has found a real need in people for material that both acknowledges and feeds the Soul, Self, Spirit, Atman.
From these early days Archive Publishing has published a set of four books completing the Wisdom of the Transpersonal series of the work of Ian Gordon-Brown and Barbara Somers. It has gone on to be the leading publisher of transpersonal books in the world of publishing with other life-changing titles by Anne Baring, Lynne Souter-Anderson, Lara Owen, Hilary Stanley and more recently Melinda Powell.
The blossoms of May, 2022 will see the celebration of a very successful first 20 years of publishing.
