The American Psychological Association Historical Database is a collection of dates and brief descriptions of over 3100 events in the history of psychology. You can view selected events for any day of the year by clicking on Pick a Date
Basically, this is a very simple site. I spent approximately 30 minutes clicking on different dates that were related to family member's birthdays, anniversaries, etc. It was interesting to see what happened if anything in the history of psychology on your birthday. A lot of information is provided. If you were looking for something specific and had a general idea of when it happended, you could easily find it.
Technical Remarks:
Very user-friendly. I had no problems using the site. Rather self-explanatory.
