Summary

Archives of the History of American Psychology, Bierce Library, University of Akron, Akron, Ohio.

This is an extremely well-organized and well-catalogued archive, and Lashley appears both as correspondent and as subject in a number of collections of papers. The richest material, however, is in the Kenneth W. Spence Papers, which contains correspondence – dozens of letters in all – between Lashley, Spence, and Clark L. Hull; and correspondence about Lashley between Spence and Hull. The archive also holds Lashley's responses to a questionnaire sent to eminent scientists by Lauren Wispe.

Archives of the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia.

The collection of Lashley materials here includes mainly unpublished writings from the period of his directorship of the laboratory, most notably the annual reports of the director. There is also a great deal of material relating to Lashley's participation in various scientific societies, including the National Academy of Sciences, and government-sponsored scientific committees, including the Committee on Sensory Devices, the Committee on the National Science Foundation, and the Committee on Human Heredity. The archive also holds many of the books that were in Lashley's own library at his death.

The Alan Mason Chesney Medical Archives, The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, Maryland.
