Description of how and when your institution started acquiring archival, library or artifact collections relating to parapsychology:
The UMBC Special Collections began collecting parapsychology materials with the donation of the first donation of the “Jule Eisenbud Collection on Ted Serios and Thoughtographic Photography” in 2002. The Denver Public Library, holder of the collection, did not feel that the material fit with their collections,so in consultation with the Eisenbud family determined to send the collection to UMBC.
