Gina Cerminara Papers
Collection
Identifier: PCL-MS-0056
Collection Organization
The Gina Cerminara papers include manuscript materials for Cerminara's books about parapsychology and/or reincarnation, including The World Within (published 1957), Insights for the Age of Aquarius (published 1973), Many Lives, Many Loves (published 1981), and Edgar Cayce Revisited and Other Candid Commentaries (published 1984). The collection also consists of manuscripts written by Cerminara on topics beyond her interest in paraspsychology, including Italian for Students of Singing (published 1940) The Mark Twain Proposition (published 1977). The manuscripts are in varying states of completion; the edited drafts demonstrate Cerminara's notetaking and editing process.
The collection also includes Spanish translations of The World Within (El Mundo Interior) and Many Mansions (Muchas Moradas) written by Alberto Dupuy. The materials in this collection are arranged by title and by publication and/or creation date.
