INTRODUCTION
The W.L.M. King Spiritualism Series contains correspondence, pamphlets, notes and memoranda arranged in nominal and subject files. There is correspondence with various mediums and other friends and acquaintances of King who were interested in spiritualism. Of particular interest are the files of séance records, 1932-1950, in Volume 7. A list of files giving volume number, file number, subject and date of each file is available in the King finding aid, number 502. It should be noted that there is also much information on Mackenzie King and spiritualism in the King Diaries Series (MG 26 J13). It might be useful to look at the correspondence and séance records in the Spiritualism Series in conjunction with the diary entries for the same dates.

INTRODUCTION
La série spiritisme du fonds W.L.M. King comprend de la correspondance, des brochures, des notes et des remarques classées dans des dossiers nominatifs et sujets. Il y a de la correspondance avec différents médiums et d’autres amis et connaissances de King qui se sont intéressés au spiritisme. Les dossiers des comptes-rendus des séances de 1932 à 1950 dans le volume 7 sont d’un intérêt particulier. On peut trouver dans l’instrument de recherche numéro 502, du fonds King, une liste des dossiers indiquant le numéro de volume, le numéro de dossier, le sujet et la date de chaque dossier. Il faut noter qu’on retrouve aussi d’autres informations sur Mackenzie King et le spiritisme dans la série des journaux intimes de King (MG 26 J13). Il serait utile de regarder la correspondance et les comptes-rendus des séances dans la série spiritisme en conjonction avec les pages des journaux intimes correspondant aux mêmes dates. RT. HON.
