Holms, A(rchibald) Campbell (1861-1954)
Scottish expert on shipbuilding who also studied Spiritualism and psychic science. In addition to his classic work Practical Shipbuilding (1904), he also compiled one of the most valuable and comprehensive encyclopedias of psychical phenomena ever published: The Facts of Psychic Science (1925). Although not a critical study, it analyzed and classified every major phenomenon of psychic science, with detailed indexes.
