History of Psychology Links

Psychology has a very rich history that extends well beyond its establishment as a distinct scientific discipline. Thanks to the Internet, many classic psychological texts are now available on-line. In addition, the works of numerous philosophers who have influenced our discipline are increasingly available on-line. Below are a few links to get you started.

• Classics in the History of Psychology includes full text reprints of many classic articles and books. The site also includes links to historically relevant works available on other websites.

• The Mead Project Website. In addition to providing electronic versions of Mead's writings, there are numerous links to other classic psychological and philosophical writings. Primary focus is on the early interface of sociology and social psychology.

• An extensive set of resources, including a number of original electronic articles by a number of postmodern and critical psychologists can be found at The Virtual Faculty.
