About Archive House

Archive House is an independent publishing imprint founded in 2025. It publishes documentary and reference works on the systems and traditions people use to understand themselves: Human Design, typology, Stoic philosophy, and the literacy to think clearly about them.

What the imprint publishes

Books built from the public record. The opening catalog is three documentary titles on the Human Design System: a biography of the system’s founder, a history of its first-generation teachers, and a comparative reference to the schools and systems that grew from it. Further titles on typology and other traditions of self-knowledge are in preparation. Archive House sells books through retailers, and nothing else: no courses, no readings, no consultations, no subscriptions.

Independence

Archive House is an independent imprint. It has no affiliation with, and no financial interest in, any of the organizations, schools, or authors its books document, and it is neither endorsed by nor connected to any Human Design institution or teacher. No author or organization is approached for approval, and none has any control over what the books say.

The editorial method

Every factual claim in an Archive House book is sourced to material a reader can check: contracts, filings, court records, archived pages, recordings, and the published statements of the people involved. The books keep separate what the public record establishes, what a subject says of themselves, and what a system claims in its own terms. Where a question cannot be settled from the record, the books say so and offer criteria a reader can apply, not verdicts. See the full editorial standards.

Corrections

When the record supports a correction, the correction is made: in the eBook editions promptly, and in the printed editions at the next printing. Every correction is logged in the public corrections log. Documented corrections can be sent through the contact form; choose “Corrections” as the subject.

Authors

Each Archive House author works in a distinct subject. The list grows as new titles are prepared.

Phoenix Arden writes documentary histories of the Human Design System.
E. Marteck writes on Carl Jung’s psychological types, analytical psychology, and the history of typology.
S.R. Kade writes on coercive control and cult literacy, and on how to keep thinking for yourself inside a group that asks a great deal of you.
