Excerpt: 

Classics in the History of Psychology is an effort to make the full texts of a large number of historically significant public domain documents from the scholarly literature of psychology and allied disciplines available on the World Wide Web. There are now over 25 books and about 200 articles and chapters on-line. The site also contains links to over 200 relevant works posted at other sites. The target audience is researchers, teachers, and students of the history of psychology, both for use in their courses on the history of psychology, and for the purposes of primary academic research. To assist undergraduate teaching, in particular, original introductory articles and commentaries, written by some of the leading historians of psychology in North America, have been attached to a number of the most important works.

Annotation: 

This site contains a full-text archive of classic works (13 books and more than 65 articles and chapters) in the field of psychology sorted by topic and author, as well as links to over 120 other online documents related to the history of psychology. Some selections, including those from Freud, Watson, Koffka, Binet, and Terman, are introduced by original articles and commentaries, "written by some of the leading historians of psychology in North America." The site also offers primary source reading guides for history of psychology courses.
