— Alan Watts from Philosophy and Society
About Us
The Alan Watts Organization is dedicated to preserving Alan’s legacy through archival efforts and creative partnerships. Our goal is to make his work accessible digitally as well as through traditional media, and to help spread his message to future generations.
The AWO is a descendant of the Electronic University, which Alan and his son Mark Watts co-created shortly before Alan’s death in 1973. Our goal is to perpetuate Alan Watts’ legacy by providing a definitive online resource for information about Alan’s written and recorded works.
We maintain and curate the vast collection Alan Watts’ audio and video works. These recordings were created by Alan, and recorded by Alan, Mark Watts, and American sound artist and humorist, Henry “Sandy” Jacobs. In addition to the original lectures, Mark and his father crafted audio courses guiding listeners through Alan’s recordings, and we’re presently working to complete our digital archive by converting reels, cassettes, VHS, and early digital formats produced by the original Electronic University.
