The Joseph Campbell Foundation is a US not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserve, protect and perpetuate the work of influential American mythologist Joseph Campbell (1904-1987). It fosters academic and popular discussion in the fields of comparative mythology and religion, psychology and culture through its publishing program, events, local groups (Mythological RoundTables®) and its internet presence.
The foundation was created in 1991 by Campbell's widow, choreographer Jean Erdman, and by his longtime editor Robert Walter, who continues to this day as the foundation's president.
Among the initiatives undertaken by the JCF are:
*The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell, a series of books and recordings (both previously released and posthumous) that pulls together Campbell's myriad-minded work
*the Erdman Campbell Award
*the Mythological RoundTables®, a global network of local groups that explore the subjects of comparative mythology, psychology, religion and culture
*the collection of Campbell's personal library and papers housed at the OPUS Archive and Research Center (see below). [ [http://www.jcf.org The Joseph Campbell Foundation Website] ]
