Subject: Registry of UFO Collections

Greetings List Members,

We have started on the task of gathering information for a
Registry of UFO Collections which will become a computer data
bank. The announcement of the Keyhoe Archives contains the type
of information we seek.

We welcome information on collections in institutions and in
private hands.  Eventually, we plan to place the public
information on a website.
E-mail information to jan@cyberzone.net or to Project 1947, P. O.
Box 391, Canterbury, CT 06331, USA, Tel # 860-546-9135

Provisionally, we have decided on four categories for
collections:

  I.  Collections available.  This will be the main category.
Information on known collections, location, content, and
accessibility will be contained in these entries.

 II.  Negative Results.  (Collections lost, sold, transferred or
destroyed.)  For example:  earlier we posted the results of an
inquiry to June Larson.  She retained no material having given it
to Dr. James McDonald, Ivan Sanderson, Dr. Herbert Strenz, and
the Library of Congress.

III.  Confidential data (privacy protection is required.)
Certain UFO researchers have fallen on difficult times or want to
be left completely alone.  Such information will be compiled, but
will only be available by request from serious researchers on
approval of the registry's access committee.  (A small group or
researchers will act on such requests.) (See below.)

 IV.  Requests for assistance (Collections, items, or people
which researchers are currently seeking.)  We also intend to post
requests from researchers for specific information.

The last time I consulted the listing of personal papers
available at archives, universities and libraries there were less
than a dozen UFO entries.

If you have visited or know of such collections, please pass the
information to us.

Best regards,

Jan

PRIVATE LIST.  Several people have indicated that they have material
they are willing to have registered for other researchers to use in very
limited circumstances.  Those wishing privacy would in some case be
willing to have contact with these researchers through third parties
such as the registry committee.  If the above applies your collection,
please indicate this by marking it "PRIVATE LIST."

OTHER LANGUAGES.  Descriptions of collections in languages other than
English are acceptable.  Please include a brief English summary, also.
