Classics in the History of Psychology is a project to provide online transcripts of noteworthy texts from the history and prehistory of the psychological sciences. The project is based in the Department of Psychology at York University, Toronto. The site is regularly updated and contains around 25 full-text books, and 200 articles, with excerpts from longer publications. The inevitable restrictions due to copyright mean that many important texts cannot be reproduced here, but the site still represents an extremely valuable collection. Among the many authors represented are Aristotle, Sigmund Freud, William James, Carl Jung, B F Skinner, J B Watson and Wilhelm Wundt. The contents are indexed by author name and by broad subject area, and there is a basic search facility. All of the contents are presented in HTML form, generally presented as single webpages except where length prohibits this. Publication dates and edition numbers are scrupulously recorded, but the pagination details of the original print editions are not. The site also provides a collection of links to relevant primary texts maintained at other sites. Another useful feature is the page of suggested readings, arranged by subject area and with a commentary on importance and context. This site is a useful starting point for early research.
