Collection consists of a general series and a publications series. The first contains materials relating to the operation of the Association, chiefly correspondence of its governing Council. Subjects include officers' elections, convention planning, and relations with other parapsychological and professional organizations such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The publications series chiefly consists of materials which were compiled into issues of the "Proceedings of the Parapsychological Association," and issues of its successor, "Research in Parapsychology." There are also some materials relating to the Associations' other publications. This collection was compiled by William G. Roll, a founder and officer of the Association.
