The Historian’s Corner builds
on the work of Elizabeth Sherman Swing, the
Society’s first Historian. It expands the
Historian’s responsibility to “Supervise the
collection of new documents [and] facilitate
research projects ... related to the
archives of the Society” (Article III,
Section 7, d of the Society’s Bylaws) by
making crucial documents relating to the
history and functioning of Comparative
Education accessible to the membership
through the Society’s website.
The Historian’s Corner
replaces the “Documents and Papers” link on
the CIES website, placing the new link under
the direct supervision of the Society’s
Historian. The contents of the Historian’s
Corner will feature documents and papers
(especially the Constitution and Bylaws, as
amended) that may change from time to time.
The Society’s Historian will choose those
documents and papers for inclusion that
he/she believes are vital to sustain the
Society’s institutional memory and knowledge
of the profession generally.

Archive at Kent State University
The Kent State University
Archives became the official
depository of the records of the
Comparative and International Education
Society (CIES) by action of the
Society's Board of Directors in October
1980. Professor George Z. F. Bereday,
Editor of the Comparative
Education Review (1957-1966),
made the first donation to the
collection in January 1981. Since then,
records from the Secretariat, various
Presidents of the Society, and the Review have
been placed in the collection. Officers
of the Society should follow Guidelines
for Collection Development and
take note of Materials
