The American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) is the oldest psychical research organization in the United States dedicated to parapsychology. Until recently, it maintained offices and a library in New York City that were open to members and the general public. The group has historically offered open membership, and anyone interested in psychical research was welcome to join. However, failed recent attempts to contact with the organization suggest that the organization is dormant. The building that once served as its headquarters has been sold, and its materials are now in a difficult-to-access archive. It maintains a website and publishes the quarterly Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research.
