Vivienne Roberts is the curator and archivist at The College of Psychic Studies. 

She cares for our large collection of spirit inspired art, photographs and artefacts from 1850 to the present day. This unusual archive, along with the College's specialist esoteric library, has offered Vivienne the opportunity to immerse herself in a wealth of primary material and has been instrumental in helping her curate a series of large College exhibitions, including: Encounters with the Spirit World (2016), Art & Spirit: Visions of Wonder (2019), Strange Things Among Us (2021) and Creative Spirits (2022). 

Vivienne's art specialism is the history of mediumistic art with particular attention to its women practitioners. She has established the websites mediumisticart.com, georgianahoughton.com and madgegill.com and has published many articles and exhibition catalogue contributions. Vivienne is a member of the Visionary Women Research Group and the British Art Network.
