In this episode, I’m joined by Daniel Paul, Theo Schafer, and Theo Krantz to celebrate the culmination of our year-and-a-half-long side quest to preserve a major piece of paranormal history.What started as a deep dive into the Integratron and its creator, George Van Tassel, eventually led me out to the desert to meet a man named Don McKinney. Don was holding on to an incredible archive, including original Integratron blueprints, hundreds of reel-to-reel channeling tapes, rare photos, film, manuscripts, and historical documents, that was becoming too massive for one person to preserve. After bringing in Theo and Theo to help organize it, Daniel Paul and I set out to find a museum that could give this collection the home and restoration it deserved.Today, I’m thrilled to announce that The Don McKinney Collection has officially been acquired by The Huntington Museum. They’ve already begun restoring the materials, and select pieces will be on display this October during their Strange Science event, where Daniel and I will also be speaking. In this episode, we talk through the entire process of saving this archive, reflect on the journey, and, naturally, go on a few completely unrelated tangents.To hear more about this announcement you can read about it in the recent The Los Angeles Times and on the Huntington's website where I believe the collection is already being indexed.To hear the full episode, sign up for The Otherworld Patreon
