International Association for the Preservation of Spiritualist and Occult Periodicals
IAPSOP was formed in late 2009, when it became apparent to IAPSOP's founders that (a) the repository libraries traditionally expected to retain Spiritualist and occult periodicals were in many cases removing these from circulation, or from their collections entirely; (b) that independent students and researchers were in some cases duplicating effort and expense to have materials preserved digitally, largely for their private use; and (c) that digital libraries like Google Books were completely indifferent to the special curatorial problems of periodical literature generally, and occult literature in particular.

Wow. International Association for the Preservation of Spiritualist and Occult Periodicals. That's a mouthful. Very tidy site with clear page images of Ability Magazine!. Amazing how they put it all together like the Library of Congress.

Thankyou. :)

Don't know that anybody but a true historian would want to read all those. Just noticed though that one is signed "Nibs". Too cool.
