The virtual laboratory: a new on-line resource for the history of psychology

The authors provide a description of the Virtual Laboratory at Department III of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. The Virtual Laboratory currently provides Internet links to rooms that present texts, instruments, model organisms, research sites, and biographies. Existing links provide access to a library of journals, handbooks, monographs, and trade catalogues; research institutes and laboratories; biographies and bibliographic essays; and essays by contemporary researchers. Historians of psychology are encouraged to submit photographic material and essays to the Virtual Laboratory.
