The further uploads to the Switzerland folder include a full set of "Weltraumbote" from 1955 to 1961. The editor of the magazine, J. Heinrich Ragaz, died many years ago and apparently he did not have any children. Swiss researcher Bruno Mancusi has made considerable efforts to track any surviving family. Most scans have been provided by Danny Ammon and the GEP in Germany, with a gap filled by Barry Greenwood in the USA.
The further uploads to the German folder include a sizeable addition to the collection of "JUFOF" published by the group "GEP". A few years ago, I obtained permission to upload all the issues of GEP's magazine "JUFOF" that were older than 5 years. I uploaded the first 200 issues of JUFOS at that time. Thanks to Danny Ammon and GEP, I have now uploaded issues up to 2017 (maintaining the initially negotiated permission of uploading issues more than 5 years old).

The uploading of UFO magazine issues beyond a certain age allows UFO/Fortean groups to maintain exclusive access for its members to the latest information, while sharing a lot of older material freely in an online archive. I have previously hoped to persuade a large Fortean group in the UK and also MUFON in the USA to at least adopt a similar model if they are not willing to upload all of their journals for free access. I may make another attempt at persuading a few UK/USA groups to give permission for me to release some more of their material...
Heck, I may even try to help get more cooperation in relation to some obvious potential UFO projects other than scanning - but I've hesitated to do this so far...
