| AdminHistory | The Psychological Society was founded on 24 October 1901 at University College London. Its aim was 'to advance scientific psychological research, and to further the co-operation of investigators in the various branches of Psychology.' It changed its name to 'The British Psychological Society' in 1906, to avoid confusion with another society.
In August 1991, ten years before the centenary of BPS in 2001, Stephen White [BPS Director of Information], initiated activity among BPS staff to support the celebration centenary.
Alongside supporting the Centenary Sub-Committee [see BPS/001/6/02/02/01], both the centenary activity iteslf and its press and marketing was co-ordinated from the Press and Marketing office under Stephen White.
As part of the initial strategy it was suggested to devise a centenary slogan. This was arrived at through a call out in The Psychologist Magazine. as well as the development of a centenary logo for use in different activities and for commemorative gifts. |
