SMiles Lewis
Longtime archivist joins Erica Lukes and Jack Brewer
SMiles Lewis has had a lifelong interest in all things anomalous. An early age proclivity at recalling his nightly dreams as well as several personal experiences with ESP, precognition and dream switching bolstered his interest in the paranormal. Shortly after high school he joined the local MUFON chapter in Austin, Texas. He would later become a MUFON State Section Director for that group as well as leader of the local UFO Experiencer Support and Study Group. A lover of books, SMiles collected over 1000 titles before founding the non-profit Anomaly Archives that serves as the lending library of the Scientific Anomaly Institute (501c3).
SMiles’ currently hosts the weekly news-roundup vodcast of the Anomaly Archives, called “Anomaly NOW!” and recently hosted over 40 hours of live-streaming lectures, music and more as part of the Anomaly Archives’ 2020 Streamathon Emergency Fundraiser.
His other recent projects included co-hosting PsiOp-Radio with Mack White as part of the many unique shows airing daily on his ANOMALY RADIO Network, which has been streaming 24/7 since last century.
He is active with several local non-profits which includes his years of service on the board of directors for the Institute for Neuroscience and Consciousness Studies (INACS) and the Scientific Anomaly Institute‘s lending library, the Anomaly Archives.
His writings can be found within the Archives of his print journal ELFIS and ANOMALY Magazine.
His day job for over 27 years was with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission‘s Talking Book Program. From 2003 to 2024 he managed the Volunteer Recording Studio (and formerly, the audio duplication department) and was a consultant on two digital audio development documents for the Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled.
