Of special interest to Spiritualism
researchers are the many precipitated paintings by the Bangs Sisters, numerous
personal objects of Kate, Maggie, and Leah Fox including family-related
memorabilia and fashion accessories, as well as other materials related to their
mediumship and to the mediumship of other noted historical figures within the
Spiritualist movement and religion.
This valuable and unique collection is now
permanently housed digitally forever in the Indiana University-Purdue University
at Indianapolis (IUPUI) library archives and will be linked to a national
database. This is indeed an important development in our Spiritualist history
in that it allows anyone to research and peruse the collection at anytime. Be
sure to check back frequently as it is currently in the process of being
uploaded so it will continue to grow in the future days and weeks!
Please feel free to share the link with
interested parties and feel freee to access the site at the link below to dig

technology of digitization. Enjoy!
