PA Convention Proceedings Archive

Since its formation in 1957, the Parapsychological Association has hosted an annual convention where scientists and scholars from around the world have gathered to present their latest research. Proceedings from these conventions were published from 1957-2008 and up until 2017, they were only available to PA members.

Efforts are underway to restore and digitize the entire archive of PA Proceedings - tens of thousands of pages of material - and release them to the public. After a successfully-funded crowdfunding campaign, the release of these materials is anticipated to happen by early 2019.

In the meantime, below you will find select volumes that are publicly available for the first time, thanks to our donors and sponsors.

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.
