Mandeville Collection in the Occult Sciences August 2008 exhibit This exhibit highlights the University of Illinois Library's collection of occult materials supported by an endowment established by the late Merten J. Mandeville, a Professor of Management at UIUC. Un- der the terms of the endowment, works of a serious nature, and those which emphasize the positive aspects of the occult are acquired. The primary subject areas for which materials are collected are astrology; the divinatory arts and palmistry; esoteric religion and mysticism; occult techniques for health, happiness and success; psychical phenomena and research, including clairvoyance, ESP and out-of-body experiences; spiri- tualism, including apparitions, mediumship, and reincarnation; unidenti- fied flying objects; and witchcraft and magic. Items received through the endowment 1984-1998 and 2003-present can be accessed through the University’s online catalog using “Mandeville Collection” as subject words in an advanced search. There is also a card catalog in the Education and Social Science Library for items purchased before 1984.
