The foundation Het Johan Borgman Fonds (HJBF, The Netherlands), the Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health (IGPP, Germany) and the Coalition for the Preservation of EHE Collections (CPEHEC, Canada) are collaborating to convene a first international meeting on the preservation of historical archives of parapsychology from 12-14 June 2014 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The conference theme is “Preserving the Historical Collections of Parapsychology” (PHCP).

The purpose of this first international meeting is to bring together researchers, archivists, librarians and other pro¬fessionals who are concerned about the large number of research collections in the fields of psychical research, parapsychology and Spiritualism that are at risk of loss. There will be fourteen invited lectures by individuals with knowledge of the state of related archives in their home countries.

The PHCP conference will be held in Utrecht (The Netherlands) from Thursday to Saturday, 12 to 14 June 2014. Anyone interested is invited to attend, but numbers are strictly limited. For more information or registration, please contact Ms. Matti Gortemaker.

The Parapsychological Association is an international professional organization of scientists and scholars engaged in the study of psi (or 'psychic') experiences, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, psychic healing, and precognition. First established in 1957, the PA has been an affiliated organization of the American Association for the Advancement of Science since 1969.

The mission of the PA is to:

Promote scholarship and scientific inquiry into currently unexplained aspects of human experience
Disseminate responsible information to the wider public and to the scientific community
Integrate this information with knowledge from other disciplines

As a non-profit, non-adjudicating organization, the PA endorses no ideologies or beliefs other than the value of rigorous scientific and scholarly inquiry. There is a level of membership for everyone interested in the scientific and scholarly advancement of parapsychology. Join or donate today.
