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 Dennis Chair, Department of Psychology Professor of Psychology Randolph College (Founded as Randolph-Macon Woman's College in 1891) Lynchburg VA 24503 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Deb Briihl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 9:14 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] History of Psychology 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.
