Borderland, A Quarterly Review and Index of Psychic Phenomena was an English periodical collecting psychic and spiritualist materials, published from 1893 to 1897, and edited by William Thomas Stead with assistant editor Ada Goodrich Freer. The items under review included subjects ranging from spirit communication (and photography) to Martian life to chiromancy, though typically focusing on Spiritualist investigations.
In Stead's own words, Borderland was intended "to be exclusively devoted to the study of the phenomena which lie on the borderland which Science has hitherto, for the most part, contemptuously relegated to Superstition,"[1] and, further, "to democratise... the study of the spook." [2]
