ABSTRACT
This document presents a variety of resources for
students to use in preparing class presentations and historical
research projects on the history of psychology. The resources pertain
to historical figures in the field of psychology. Many of the
references included in this bibliography are annotated and the names
of the psychologists contained within most of books are listed as
well. The first section of the bibliography lists four indexes to
autobiographies and biographies of noted psychologists. The next
section focuses on autobiographical references and includes
references and/or annotations for both monograph- and book-length
autobiographies. This section is followed by a section on
biographical references. Included are sources for biographical
sketches (1-2 paragraphs in length) of psychologists, as well as
references and/or annotations for both monograph- and book-length
biographies. A list of 4 necrology references which contain the death
dates for 638 psychologists is also included. The document concludes
with a list of bibliographic references on individual psychologists.

Overview
While teaching a history of psychology class during the last several years, I identified
the following resources for student use. Students can use these resources to prepare class
presentations and historical research projects. Students have commented on how interesting
history can be when they get to know the historical figures in a personal way.
The sources identified in this guide are not exclusive. They constitute those references I
have located in and ordered for the university's library. I got the idea of submitting this list
to ERIC/CAS after a colleague asked for suggestions to order for his college's library. His
response to my list was so favorable I concluded that others might find the list as useful.
Two features of this listing should prove helpful to teachers, scholars, and students
of the history of psychology. I have annotated many of the references. In addition, I have
listed the names of the psychologists contained within most of the books. Such infonnation
should facilitate retrieval
