Establishing the archive of the Centre for the Study of Anomalous Psychological Processes

The Centre for the Study of Anomalous Psychological Processes (CSAPP) at the University of Northampton has starting to form an archive of paranormal research, following a large donation from a second-hand book sellers based in Leicester, England. The material contains several boxes of rare research reports covering the topics of alleged hauntings and haunting investigations, poltergeist investigations, psychic phenomena, cold reading, electronic voice phenomena, newsletters, cuttings, photo slides, researcher correspondences, cassette tape and reel-to-reel audio recordings of lectures and investigations, VHS videos of assorted television documentaries, recorded conferences and lectures and a range of miscellaneous files, all donated by Aucott & Thomas. The donated materials are intended to be housed in a new dedicated special section of the library at the University of Northampton, Park Campus, once sorting and indexing has been completed. Preliminary notes complied from the early stages of the sorting process have indicated that much of the miscellaneous materials main emphasis focuses on survival based research, healing and electronic voice phenomena.
