Willard F. Day, Jr., (1926-1989) received his Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate degrees from the University of Virginia. He did three years postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins University, where he used Skinnerian baseline methodology for investigation psycho-physical responding at threshold. In 1956, he joined the faculty of the psychology department at the University of Nevada, Reno. In 1972, he founded the interdisciplinary philosophy-psychology journal Behaviorism, and was editor until 1985. His areas of specialization was the radical behaviorist analysis of verbal behavior, and the conceptual, philosophical, and historical foundations of contemporary behaviorism. His interpretation of Skinner behaviorism led to a particular method on analyzing verbal behavior that is known in scientific circles as the Reno methodology. Day retired from the university in 1987.

Day was also an active lay leader in the Episcopal Church, and an accomplished pianist who performed in the Reno community.

The records in this collection primarily contain Day's professional interests and participation in research, teaching, and professional organizations. These include publications and presentations by Day, lecture notes and class tests, professional contracts, research and data, original manuscripts as well as a collection of articles written by others, and records of Day's participation in organizations, including the American Psychological Association. In addition, there are records of his ministry as an Episcopal Church lay leader, and programs of musical recitals. The earliest records are personal correspondence between Day and members of his family, 1938-1947. Types of records include audio cassettes and photographs.
