University of London Council for Psychical
Investigation
A reorganization of the National Laboratory of Psychical
Research, which had been founded by psychical researcher
Harry Price in 1926. The National Laboratory passed under
the direction of the University of London Council on June 6,
1934. At that date the organization was still at the National
Laboratory address, but by the end of 1936 the large library assembled
by Price was moved to University College, London.
Later the National Laboratorys séance room and laboratory
equipment were transferred to the administrative offices of the
University Council, but all experimentation ceased with the
outbreak of World War II. After the death of Harry Price in
1948, the library was bequeathed to the University of London.
A short-title catalogue of the library was issued as volume 1,
number 2 of the Proceedings of the National Laboratory of
Psychical Research, and a supplement was issued as the first
bulletin of the University of London Council for Psychical Investigation.
A second publication was issued by the University
of London Council as Bulletin II, A Report on Two Experimental
Fire-Walks; Bulletin III, Preliminary Studies of a Vaudeville Telepathist.
Last known address University of London, Senate House,
Male St., London
