Deb,

I don't have any developed instructions, but I think that it is a great
idea. We have a substantial collection of antique equipment and test
materials. A colleague directed summer research projects to catalogue
those. Both projects gave us additional insight into what must have
happened here in the past. 

Good luck with the project

I have a couple of students in my History of Psych course who wish to
take 
it as an Honor's option. What I recommended was that, since it is our 
centennial (for the next few years - don't ask), a history of our 
department would work as a good project. When I went to look for other 
projects similar, what I found was the tracing of lineage (who was my
major 
advisor, who was his, and so on back to the beginning). I wasn't
interested 
in that project - I wanted them to trace the history of the psychology 
department. When did it start? How many faculty members were there? What

did the major look like at the time? These instructions are rather
vague, 
so I was looking to see if anyone had developed more detailed ones.
