Archives of the History of American Psychology
Special note: The COVID19 pandemic has affected our ability to host multiple researchers onsite. We cannot accommodate visiting classes for archival projects. However, we can do our best to provide materials and instruction remotely.
We can host individual researchers, one at a time, but researchers must comply with the Onsite Research Protocols. The Archives will reopen to individual researchers, by advance appointment only, beginning September 14, 2020.

About the Archives
Established in 1965, the Archives of the History of American Psychology is the world’s largest repository of manuscripts, monographs, media, and artifacts relevant to the history of psychology and related human sciences.
The collections document the history of psychology in all of its forms, tracing it from the laboratory rooms of the late nineteenth century to hospitals, schools, and businesses throughout the twentieth century.
The CCHP is dedicated to preserving, organizing, and documenting these materials and making them available for research, scholarship, and interpretation.
