Luscinia Historical Society

Headquartered in Southwest Ohio, the Luscinia Historical Society has been collecting, archiving, and preserving lesser known esoteric and spiritualist ephemera since 1895.

Our volunteers have spanned multiple generations, collecting and preserving works from the mid-19th Century to today. Our collection includes physical artifacts of esoteric and spiritualist practices from around North America, including personal letters and diaries, photographs, prints, and short-run publications. Starting in the 1970s, our collection expanded to include analog video and audio pieces, including VHS and cassette tapes.

Since our inception we have called various locations in the greater Cincinnati area our home, including warehouses and storefronts in Clifton, Over-the-Rhine, and Mount Lookout. LHS is currently situated in Camp Washington on Colerain Avenue.
