Ivor Noël Hume was born in London, England, in 1927, and emigrated to
Virginia in 1957 on being invited to head the Department of Archaeology for
the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. He had previously been the field
archaeologist for the City of London's Guildhall Museum and was responsible
to it for the recovery of antiquities unearthed during the rebuilding of
the City after the 2nd World War.
He is the author of fifteen books on
archaeology and antiques, and the writer or director for three
award-winning films. He has pseudonymously written two published novels. He
has honorary doctorates from the University of Pennsylvania and from the
College of William and Mary in Virginia, and in 1992 was made an Officer of
the British Empire (OBE) in recognition of his "contributions to British
cultural interests in Virginia."
His interest in the paranormal stems from
experiences that occurred in the West Country of England between 1946 and
1948, encounters that are the foundation for a book now in progress.
