A Celebration of Two Anniversaries: The Merrill-Palmer Quarterly and the Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute
View through CrossRef
Abstract: In this essay, we present highlights of the centennial celebration of the Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute for Child and Family Development and relate them to the 70th anniversary of the Merrill-Palmer Quarterly . In 2020, an exhibit was organized to explore the history of the institute in text, images, and artifacts. The history of the Merrill-Palmer Quarterly is inextricably linked with this past but also diverges from it. We argue that both the institute and the journal have influenced one another in ways that are reflected in their modern versions. The article shows how a longer and broader historical perspective adds not only to the Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute's story but also to that of the Merrill-Palmer Quarterly .
