With around 69,000 volumes and 2,200 journals (as of 2024), it is one of the largest book collections of its kind in Europe.[\/nectar_responsive_text][toggles style=”minimal_small”][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h6″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Learn more”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_desktop=”16″ font_line_height=”1.8″]The IGPP library has been part of the Freiburg University Library since the early 1970s. The collection also includes works on interdisciplinary anomalistics, including a broad spectrum of \u201cfrontier sciences\u201d such as astrology, esotericism and New Age, spiritual healing, magic, UFO research, divining rods and the art of magic. The institute’s library also includes extensive holdings on literature, culture, religious studies, art history and folklore. It grows by around 400 new acquisitions every year and currently holds 130 journals and bulletins from all over the world, including all international journals for parapsychological research and anomalistics.<\/p>\n

The historical basis of the Institute’s library includes the collection of around 2,500 volumes from the estate of Albert von Schrenck-Notzing (1862-1929), a Munich doctor and psychotherapist, as well as the library of around 2,000 volumes from the estate of the Swiss biologist and parapsychologist Fanny Moser (1872-1953), some of which are rare first editions from the early history of mesmerism, magnetism, occultism and psychical research. In 1970, with the help of the Volkswagen Foundation, the systematic expansion and cataloging of the IGPP library began. From 1973 to 2014, it was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) from 2000 to 2010 as a Spezialbibliothek (Special Library) and from 2011 to 2014 as a Sondersammelgebietsbibliothek (Special Collection Library,\u00a0Bauer, 1994; Bauer 2015<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In 2005, a start was also made on digitizing<\/a> selected historical journals and books and making them available online. Since January 2024, the two main works of the Swiss biologist and parapsychologist Dr. Fanny Moser-Hoppe, \u201cOkkultismus – T\u00e4uschungen und Tatsachen\u201d (Moser, 1935<\/a>) and \u201cSpuk – Irrglaube oder Wahrglaube?\u201d (Moser, 1950<\/a>) are available online.<\/p>\n

The IGPP provides academic support and selects literature for the library in close cooperation with the Freiburg University Library, which manages the holdings. These are fully recorded in the online catalog of the Freiburg University Library and can be borrowed there. A smaller selection of core literature (signatures Frei 122-A and Frei 122-Z) is held in the IGPP as a reference collection and can be used there.<\/p>\n

The institute library is an indispensable tool for research work in numerous scientific disciplines, but it is also aimed at the general public.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default”
