The Psi Encyclopedia (PE) was created under a major bequest from
Nigel Buckmaster to the
Society for Psychical Research in 2014, as described on our
About page. The PE aims to be a major educational resource, presenting the full scope of parapsychology – everything from its experimental wing to ‘spontaneous cases’ and research into phenomena suggestive of the post-mortem survival of consciousness and reincarnation – in cross-cultural breadth and historical depth.
We have started a tri-weekly Editors' Blog and are increasing our social media presence, including establishing a dedicated page on Facebook and increasing our presence on X, Bluesky, and other platforms (see Social Media Outreach). If you have other ideas of things we could do to further our aims, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please write to us, [email protected]. Meanwhile, Buckmaster’s generous bequest has sustained us for our first decade, but it is not limitless and we have reached the point that we must ask for support for our continuing development.
As the PE is sponsored by the Society for Psychical Research, we ask that you give to us through the SPR, which has set up a special fund for us, to augment and outlast the Buckmaster Fund. Below, you will see the ways you can provide financial support, on a one-time, monthly, or annual basis.
Because the SPR is a British enterprise, donations are in pounds sterling, to which your gift will be automatically converted if your country’s currency is different. You may give by debit card, credit card or bank withdrawal. If you wish to support the PE with a recurring donation please select that option and you will be given a choice of monthly or yearly.
American taxpayers considering a substantial donation should consult the information linked on our main Donation site.
