Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation Endowed Directorship for The Archives of the History of American Psychology
In 2007, The Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation decided to grant the total sum of $2.1 million to The University of Akron Foundation for the establishment of The Margaret Clark Morgan Endowed Directorship for The Archives of the History of American Psychology at The University of Akron.
The Archives of the History of American Psychology (the “Archives”) is the premier resource for primary source material in the history of psychology. The Archives’ extensive holdings of manuscripts, artifacts, film, and photographs document the efforts of social scientists to define, study, treat, and advocate for a complete understanding of the human condition. The Archives seeks to provide the means whereby the psychological community and the general public can learn firsthand about psychological science and practice.
The director of the Archives will educate the citizens of the region and nation on critical issues impacting psychological science and practice through the Archives’ original materials, public programming, interpretive exhibits, and displays. These will include issues related to the promotion of mental health and the prevention of mental illness. Further, The Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation grant for endowment will provide funds for the Archives’ programming and salary enhancement for the director of The Archives of the History of American Psychology.
