| | | Title: | Leonard Carmichael Papers
| | | | Type: | Collection | | | | Format: | Manuscripts | | | | Language: | English | | | | Dates: | Circa 1917-1973 | | | | Extent: | 183 linear feet | | | | Abstract: | Carmichael was chairman of the Division of Anthropology and Psychology of the National Research Council, from 1941 to 1943. His papers include Division records, from 1941 to 1943 and 1955 to 1962. The earlier documents are interesting for their illustration of the wartime use of anthropology and psychology by the federal government. The records extant in Carmichael's files include various committee and sub-committee reports on routine Division business; they chronicle the marshalling of anthropology and psychology for the war effort. The later records (1955-62) include a history of the Division, membership lists, research proposals, the annual reports of the Division itself, and various sub-committee reports. Also included are reports on symposia supported by the Division, including the "USAF-NRC Symposium On Human Engineering, Personnel, And Training Research" in 1955. Carmichael's papers include records of the U.S. Committee for National Morale, dated 1941 and afterwards, and contain a report on "Cultural Anthropology and Morale," among other documents. He was a member of the applied psychology panel of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, 1942-1945. | | | | Source: | Leonard Carmichael Papers (B C212) | | | | |
