As some of you already know, over the past several years I have been creating web-based resources for students and professional researchers in the history and theory of psychology. As we begin another term, I thought I would bring you up to date on them so that you may bring your students' attention to them, or even incorporate them into you course syllabus. (Please pardon the brazen self-promotion of this message.)
Classics in the History of Psychology
http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/ , http://psychclassics.asu.edu/
The full texts of 200+ historically-significant articles, chapter,
and books from psychology's past, and that of allied disciplines. Also
includes 20+ short introductions and/or commentaries by experts in the
field to some of the most popular of the primary documents. Great
for assigning original materials to your students without having to deal
with those nasty, expensive, unreliable print shops that inhabit most campuses.
(My apologies in advance to those of you lucky enough to have cheerful,
efficient, reasonably-priced print shops on your campus. "Classics" is
still cheaper and easier!) Over 5 million page hits in the past 5 years!
History & Theory of Psychology Electronic Question & Answer
Forum
http://hv.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=History%20%26%20Theory%20of%20Psychology
(but it's easier just to use the link at the top of the "Classics"
page.)
A place where students (and their teachers) can post questions and
receive answer from other users of the site, some of whom are top experts
in the field. Over 2300 questions and answers in the past 2.5 years!
History & Philosophy of Psychology Web Resources
http://www.psych.yorku.ca/orgs/resource.htm
Links to over 200 websites relevant to the history and theory of psychology.
History & Theory of Psychology Eprint Archive (HTP Prints)
http://htpprints.yorku.ca/
A free, open-access electronic repository of original scholarship on
the history & theory of psychology. Over 80 documents -- some previously
published in journals, some original to HTP Prints. Over 100,000 page hits
this year alone!
New! A 40-minute video documentary I made this past year entitled "An Academy in Crisis: The Hiring of James Mark Baldwin and James Gibson Hume at the University of Toronto in 1889." Covers the extraordinary public controversy that surrounded the hiring of a man who would go on to be one of the the most influential developmental psychologists and evolutionary thinkers of the turn of the last century (and another man who is long forgotten). A 2-minute "teaser" and the full documentary are both available on-line at http://www.yorku.ca/christo/papers/pubs.htm#video (full video for broadband only). If you would like a VHS or DVD copy of the documentary to show to your class, send me an e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Also, don't forget to tell you students about the websites of the three most important history of psychology organizations on the continent:
Society for the History of Psychology (APA Div. 26) -- http://www.psych.yorku.ca/orgs/apa26/
Cheiron: The International Society for the History of Behavioral and Social Sciences -- http://www.psych.yorku.ca/orgs/cheiron/
Canadian Psychological Association, History & Philosophy of Psychology Section -- http://www.psych.yorku.ca/orgs/cpahpp/
