addition, there
also are some "special collections" on the site
(texts arranged by topics and interspersed with some essays --each
collection

- The
Mead Project , a project of the Department of Sociology at Brock
University in St Catharines, Canada. A repository of documents by
george Herbert Mead, or about him, or part of the context for his
work. Hence are quite a few articles by psychologists of a pragmatic
bent there such as William James, John Mark Baldwin, John Dewey,
James R> Angell and others to be found there.
- Cogprints, an electronic
archive for self-archive papers in any area of psychology ,neuroscience
, linguistics , and other areas pertinent to the study of
cognition. This site has searchable indices and some material relevant
to the History of Psychology. It is also interesting for what it is:
a somewhat rebellious open archive trying to open avenues of dissemination
blocked by the restrictive policies of APA journals. Open archiving
also creates new possibilities for historians. An interesting article
on Electronic
Media and the Future of the History of Psychology by Christopher
Green can be found there also.
- A feminist
archive (archives of the Chicago Women's Liberation Union.) Naomi
Weisstein's 1968 landmark article: Psychology
Constructs the Female can be found there.
