History
Emory Bogardus, Ph.D. of the University of Southern California founded what is now called the Pacific Sociological
Association (PSA) in 1929. In the fall of that year, Bogardus called together professors of sociology in southern California to
form a regional sociological association. The name adopted at this meeting, Pacific Southwest Sociological Association, was
changed in 1931 to the Pacific Sociological Society and the constitution was changed to provide for an enlarged
membership that would extend from southern California to British Columbia. By vote of the membership in 1960, the name
of the organization was changed to the Pacific Sociological Association. The purpose and object of the association is to
promote both sociological research and the teaching of sociology in universities, colleges, community colleges, and high
schools in the Pacific area. It accomplishes its mission by convening an annual meeting and publishing its journal. The
Pacific Sociological Review was launched in 1958 with the intent to publish articles presented at the society’s meetings as
well as a few manuscripts submitted independently. In 1983, the journal was renamed Sociological Perspectives.

Immediate Source of Acquisition note
The Pacific Sociological Association records were acquired as a gift in 2007.
Scope and Contents note
Collection files begin with PSA history, including a biography of Emory Bogardus. Historical updates appear in 2002, 2004
(publication of the book by Dean Dorn, “75 Years of PSA, 1929-2004”) as well as a “projection” of what PSA will be like in
2029. Files on PSA Constitution and Bylaws (1935-2007) reflect organizational development. Membership grew from 40 in
1935 to almost 1300 by 2006. The composition of the membership shifted from a professorial group to include
non-academic sociologists, graduate and undergraduate students. Geographic boundaries include Hawaii, Alaska and the
western Canadian provinces, Pacific coastal states and several inland states.

A constitutional requirement of the association is that one annual Business meeting for the general membership and two
Executive Council/Advisory Committee meetings be conducted. Minutes from business meeting are on file from 1940 to
2008 and for the executive group from 1953 to 2008.
PSA activities are driven by committees, both standing and ad hoc. Their reports and proposals are then presented at
Executive and Business meetings for final policy determinations. Examples of active committees include: Audit, Awards for
Scholarship and Teaching, Award for Social Conscience, Committee on Committees, Contract Monitoring, Endowment,
Freedom of Research and Teaching (COFRAT), Membership, Nominations, Publications, Status of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals,
and Transgender persons, Status of Racial and Ethnic Minorities, and Status of Women. The records from the Committee on
the Status of Women includes files on specific women sociologists who requested that the PSA investigate allegations of
discrimination at universities e.g., Redlands, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, U.C. Davis.
Annual Meeting files include a handbook, master calendar, and attendant duties of advertising, local hosting issues, site
selection policies, and annual agendas for the period 1931-2008. Between 1959 and 1962, spring and fall “mailings” were
sent to members announcing the dates, site and call for papers for the meeting. In January 1993 this procedure was
replaced by the first issue of the Pacific Sociologist newsletter (see Publications Committee file). Augmenting the newsletter
is the correspondence file between meeting planners and presenters on a given program. Traditionally, the PSA presidential
address is given at the annual meeting. On file are copies of many addresses from 1930 to 2003 as well as an analysis of
each speech. (See Dean S. Dorn’s “75 Years of the Pacific Sociological Association, 1929-2004”, pages 146-149 for
President and title of speech.) Unfortunately, some speeches were never published, therefore, those copies are unavailable.
The collection includes also audiotapes of some of the speeches.
The financial records in the collection reflect the income and expenses of the PSA from 1935 to 2007 as well as the balance
sheets for their bank accounts.
