| The essays contained
in this volume offer a unique and personal perspective on the archival
research process in the history of psychology. Celebrating the
achievements of John A. Popplestone and Marion White McPherson,
founders of the Archives of the History of American Psychology at The
University of Akron in 1965, nine leading scholars describe the value,
frustration, and satisfaction inherent in the archival process in the
history of psychology. The essays provide valuable information on
modern historiography in the history of psychology and the construction
of historical narrative based on archival resources. |
