Collection Description

Biographical/historical note

Until 1921, the University of Georgia's Psychology Department was part of the School of Education and was located within Peabody Hall. In 1921-22 the Board of Trustees designated it as an independent department and the Psychology Department became a part of the College of Arts and Sciences. As it grew during the 20th century, the department saw the completion of the Psychology-Journalism Complex in 1969, the addition of animal research labs, and the creation of a highly respected Psychology Clinic.

Scope and Content

The UGA Department of Psychology records (1934-2012) include administrative correspondence, historical recollections of departmental members, department/faculty minutes, information about research, and a list of requirements for the proposed Psychology Building (1965). This collection also contains departmental faculty's reprints, papers, and manuscripts.

Organization and Arrangement

The collection is organized into seven series.
