Looking to mix up your holiday décor this year? Replace the string lights with this twinkling lampboard, used in psychologist David Boder’s 1945 study “Discrimination of Visual Patterns Protracted in Time”. It’s really quite mesmerizing! #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesSparkle

Happy Halloween! What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever seen? For us it’s this home video footage of Tatu the chimpanzee in mid-century Halloween masks. 😰 (Videos from the R. Allen and Beatrix Gardner papers.) #HistPsych #Psychology

It's pretty great to see students working directly with historical collections in their learning process. And, the Institute team learns more about their collections from what these students discover. Three cheers for hands-on humanities!
Objects in our collections are meant to be used - this is one of the ways we learn about them! This semester we are hosting Maeve Marino and her @UAkron Native North Americans class for some hands-on learning with the Oak Native American Ethnographic Collection. #Akron #UAkron

Our National Museum of Psychology was nominated for the Hottest Hidden Gem award by the Akron Visitors Bureau! We lost to the Summit Lake Nature Center. But we all went home with pineapples, a symbol of hospitality!
