Building the Collections

Parapsychology Foundation has acted as a repository for research records, notes and correspondance accumulated by scholars during their research in parapsychology for decades. PF sought to actively acquire photographs, film, video and audio materials pertaining to parapsychological research. Although these materials are now housed within the Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery Special Collections we still seek to be involved in the collection’s wellbeing and growth. For information concerning donations to  Eileen J. Garrett Parapsychology Foundation Collection’s archives, rare book collection and media library, as well as the main collection consisting of books and periodicals, you can reach out to us or UMBC’s Special Collections.

The collection is continually being augmented both by donation and by select and active purchase and has been professionally maintained since its inception in 1951. Recognized within the field as one of North America’s finest specialized libraries, donations are very much welcomed to continue to build the collection. Appropriate recognition of the donor will be made public if donated materials are accepted into the collections.
