Some Text Repositories

  • Classics in the History of Psychology
    An electronic resource developed by Christopher D. Green, Ph.D., at York University, Toronto, Canada.
    This is an extensive collection that can be sorted by author or topic, and searched with an internal Google engine as well. In addition, there also are some "special collections" on the site (texts arranged by topics and interspersed with some essays --each collection organized by a professional in the field.
  • The Archives of the History of American Psychology The archives were founded and developed by John A. Popplestone. The current director is David B. Baker from the University of Akron, Ohio. The collection is constantly being updated. Note: this is a "brick and mortar" archive/museum as well as an online resource.
  • History and Theory of Psychology Eprint Archive HTP Prints is edited and administered by Christopher D. Green of the History & Theory of Psychology Program at York University .
  • The Archives of the American Psychological Association : documents, papers, audio-visual materials, and artifacts of APA. A collection of records from 1917 to 1985 is preserved at the Library of Congress. This is a mixed resource of both online and paper documents and photographs.
  • The Value of Knowledge. A Miniature Library of Philosophy
    A collection of texts by 140 authors, a number of them psychologists (ex: Adler, Jung, Freud --also people like Dewey and J.J. Rousseau, British Empiricists etc.) This site is put together by Andy Blunden, Ph.D. from Melbourne, Australia, and is a part of the "Subject Archive" in the larger Marxist Internet Archive. On that same site, there is also an excellent Vygotsky archive.
  • The Mead Project , a project of the Department of Sociology at Brock University in St Catharines, Canada. A repository of documents by george Herbert Mead, or about him, or part ofthe context for his work. Hence are quite a few articles by psychologists of a pragmatic bent there such as William James, John Mark Baldwin, John Dewey, James R> Angell and others to be found there.
  • Cogprints, an electronic archive for self-archive papers in any area of psychology ,neuroscience , linguistics , and other areas pertinent to the study of cognition. This site has searchable indices and some material relevant to the History of Psychology. It is also interesting for what it is: a somewhat rebellious open archive trying to open avenues of dissemination blocked by the restrictive policies of APA journals. Open archiving also creates new possibilities for historians. An interesting article on Electronic Media and the Future of the History of Psychology by Christopher Green can be found there also.
  • A feminist archive (archives of the Chicago Women's Liberation Union.) Naomi Weisstein's 1968 landmark article: Psychology Constructs the Female can be found there.
