The Task Force of the
History of IAAP was appointed by President Wilpert in 1994 at the 23rd
Congress of Aplied Psychology in Madrid, Spain. The Task Force has been
actively pursuing the fulfilment of its mission since then. The current members
of the Task Force are Helio Carpintero (Spain), Edwin Fleishman (USA), and

in two major proyects, on behalf of IAAP, during the period of this report. The
first project is a continuing one -the maintenance of the official Archives of

Germany. Helio Carpintero is coordinating the collection and submission of
historical materials. Members of IAAP, especially EC members, are encouraged to
submit appropiate documents, photos, etc. to Helio. (DR.
