| Abstract: Behavior analysis has reached an exciting juncture in its history. First and second-generation Skinnerians are increasingly interested in writing, reading, and recording the history of their field. Behavior analysis has solidified its institutional presence, through international organizations such as ABA. These factors, among others, highlight an exciting opportunity for members of the field to become increasingly proactive in preserving its historical record. The theme of this panel discussion is historical preservation and archiving for behavior analysis. Panel discussants will address the nature and role of archiving, how to establish archival programs, and challenges to preserving the historical record in the electronic age. They will describe existing archival resources in behavior analysis and highlight the kinds of material that should be preserved. Panel discussants will give examples from their own extensive experience in subject-matter, divisional, and institutional archives. |
