I have located what I am told is about 150 tapes - in German - of Hayek and his wife reflecting about his work and their lives.

Do we have a Hayek scholar who can translate German? 

The fourth volume of the Archival Insights into the Evolution of Economics
series will be on The Hayekian Tradition.

The first three volumes:

The Keynesian Tradition (2008). Palgrave Macmillan.

The Anti-Keynesian Tradition (2008). Palgrave Macmillan.
http://us.macmillan.com/theantikeynesiantradition

American Power and Policy (2009) Palgrave Macmillan.
http://us.macmillan.com/americanpowerandpolicy )

I would like to hear from those who are working, or have worked, on Hayek
archival material.

I would also like to hear suggestions about who should be commissioned to
write chapters.

Does anybody have information about Hayek's first paper:

"I think the first paper I ever wrote--never published, and I haven't even
got a copy--was on a thing which had already occurred to me in the last
few days in the army, suggesting that you might have a double government,
a cultural and an economic government. I played for a time with this idea
in the hope of resolving the conflict between nationalities in the
Austro-Hungarian Empire. I did see the benefits of common economic
government. On the other hand, I was very much aware of all the conflicts
about education and similar problems. And I thought it might be possible
in governmental functions to separate the two things--let the
nationalities have their own cultural arrangements and yet let the central
government provide the framework of a common economic system. That was, I
think, the first thing I put on paper."
