Another big one...
85 issues of the journal "Pursuit" were published between 1967 and 1989 by the "Society for the Investigation of The Unexplained" (SITU). It contained articles on cryptozoology, UFOs and many aspects of forteana and alleged anomalous phenomena by many of the leading Fortean researchers of that period.
SITU was founded by naturalist Ivan T. Sanderson in 1965, "… for the acquisition, investigation and dissemination of information on reports of all tangible items in the fields of chemistry, astronomy, geology, biology and anthropology, that are not readily explained".
According to Encylopedia.com, "for a generation [SITU] was the leading organization pursuing research on anomalous phenomena of the kind usually associated with Charles Fort".
Dr John Reed is the current head of SITU. We have worked together on a few projects and he has now kindly given me permission to add scans of "Pursuit" to the AFU's online archive.
(Dr John Reed made some scans of "Pursuit" available online for a period several years ago. The scans that have been uploaded now are new, higher resolution scans that have helpfully been produced by the AFU in Sweden).
