Weak Delete - I will just barely say Delete. First of all as a question of notability this is a collection of 17,000 phtographs. I know perhaps it is not the largest, but nonetheless it is a very impressive collection. Okay now the fact is that there is no
sources that have been found for this article so it can be
verified. If someone can provide some
Reliable sources I will change my !vote. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (

Weak Delete This collection is connected with the work of Carl Jung. I find online references to it, but not much of significance. The page links to very little in Wikipedia - not quite notable.

Keep. Plenty of reliable sources establish notability (
Google Books finds references in 65 books, many of which seem to discuss the subject in detail).

And here's another: "Two very practical links to the development of analytical psychology emerged from these annual gatherings. First, Olga Froebe-Kapteyn was encouraged by Jung to develop an archive of pictures portraying different archetypal symbols. She amassed a great number of pctures which eventually became the foundation for the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS), which is now housed in several American Jung Institutes, as well as in Zurich and at the Warburg Institute at the University of London. The pictures and the commentary are valuable resources for analysts and academicians interested in art history, culture, and symbolism." -- The Jungians: A Comparative and Historical Perspective, Thomas B Kirsch, ISBN 0415158613.

Keep WP:WEB guidelines do not necessarily apply simply because the org in question has a website. ARAS also has physical repositories in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco. The Encyclopedia of Archetypal Symbolism, developed from ARAS resources, is reviewed by Publisher's Weekly as "an astonishing book, an important publishing event and a significant sourcebook of body wisdom."

[2] These seem to indicate a level of professionalism and a high standard of scholarship. Also, to answer Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (above) the collection is not just photographs but also written material.--
