Vision, Mission, and Values
The Institute for Human Science and Culture is part of the Cummings Center for the History of Psychology. Unlike the Cummings Center's other branches (the Archives of the History of American Psychology and the National Museum of Psychology), the Institute has distinct collections, exhibitions, and programming that do not necessarily relate to the history of psychology.
