Archives Renovation Campaign
Preserving the Past, Securing the Future
The Archives of the History of American Psychology preserves more than a century of groundbreaking discoveries, diverse voices, and innovative ideas that have shaped our field. Join us in our campaign to protect, expand, and share these invaluable collections, ensuring future generations can continue to explore and learn from psychology’s history.
Vision
A state-of-the-art, temperature- and humidity-controlled, waterproof preservation environment
Goal
$3.1 million
Matching Challenge
Our campaign begins with a challenge. Thanks to the generosity of Andrew Cummings and Julie Hellberg, every dollar you give, up to $1 million, will be matched dollar for dollar.
As of July 2026, we have raised $665,000 toward our $1,000,000 matching goal. Make your contribution today to help us unlock this transformative gift.
Questions about the campaign and ways to contribute? Contact Cathy Faye at cfaye@uakron.edu.
