The Making of the Modern New Zealand Mind: Spiritualism and Psychical Research

Record summary

New Zealand spiritualist and psychical-research organizations maintained lecture programs, séances, correspondence, and periodicals during the twentieth century, including the 1990–2009 period. Their archives may contain named mediumistic sittings, clairvoyance claims, apparitions, and disputes over fraud or evidential standards. This is a discovery lead for locating institutional records rather than a claim about any particular successful séance. The Society’s exact archival holdings, publication titles, and activity dates should be checked through New Zealand library catalogs and archival repositories.
