Archival Evidence Of Exceptional Human Experiences, Blynne Olivieri
Archival Evidence Of Exceptional Human Experiences, Blynne Olivieri
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Archival collections hold tangible documentation of the range of human experience. Diaries, letters, photographs, audio recordings, reports, and other paper and film-based materials tell the stories of people’s lives. Using examples from the vast parapsychology archives and rare book collections at the University of West Georgia, this paper will share people’s first-hand accounts of extraordinary incidents or of their supernatural abilities, from the profound to the disappointing, and from the unexpected to the purposefully sought, including near-death experiences, extrasensory perception, and psychedelic drug use.
