Introduces the field of historiography (HSG) as it pertains to behavior analysis (BA), and provides a selective bibliography of BA by publication type and topic. In addition to discussing the purposes of HSG, 4 methodological issues in the process and product of HSG are described: (1) sources (i.e., primary, secondary, and tertiary) and (2) the dimensions along which HSG is conducted and evaluated including internalist vs externalist history, great person vs Zeitgeist histories, and presentist vs historicist perspectives. Bibliographic content includes books, book chapters, journal articles, autobiographical material, book reviews, commentaries, memoria, professional trends and brief histories, bibliographies, indexes, and reference lists.
