I really wish that I didn’t cringe every time I read anything from the SPR for public consumption...

I'm curious about what made you cringe. I find that not much of it arouses my interest, but that seems like a different problem.

Courtesy of the SPR Facebook page, here are links to past issues of the defunct European Journal of Parapsychology and Research Letter of the Parapsychology Laboratory at the University of Utrecht, which have been made available by Michael Tremmel and Paul Stevens.

European Journal of Parapsychology, volumes 2-18 (1977-2003)
European Journal of Parapsychology, volumes 10-25 (1995-2010)

Research Letter, volumes 1-12 (1971-1984)

On the SPR website there is a huge section entitled "Research Catalogue 1884-2011", organised by subject, which lists papers in the Society's Journal and Proceedings, with a indication of the contents of each (sometimes quite detailed):

Unfortunately, despite the description it doesn't seem to be complete. I've looked at several pages, but haven't yet found one that goes up to 2011.

Do the SPR ever question whether something really is paranormal or do they always start from the assumption that it is?

Do the SPR ever question whether something really is paranormal or do they always start from the assumption that it is?

The principle is that it questions rather than assuming. The Society's website says:
"The Society for Psychical Research was set up in London in 1882, the first scientific organisation ever to examine claims of psychic and paranormal phenomena. We hold no corporate view about their existence or meaning; rather, our purpose is to gather information and foster understanding through research and education."
