SCEAU Bulletin - No 02 - 1994

Magazine Overview

This issue of the BULLETIN ANNUEL N°2 from SCEAU/Archives OVNI, dated 1994, is a French-language publication dedicated to the preservation and study of ufology.

Editorial

Thierry Pinvidic's editorial emphasizes the crucial need for SCEAU to progress in its capacity to locate individuals involved in ufology and convince them of the necessity to permanently safeguard their heritage by entrusting it to a stable structure like the Archives de France. He draws a parallel with the National Archives' role in preserving historical documents for centuries. Pinvidic notes the fragmented nature of ufology, characterized by internal conflicts and radical positions among proponents. He proposes a unifying project: the preservation of current ufology heritage for future generations, akin to how historical witchcraft records are available today. SCEAU offers a deposit contract, but faces reluctance from some ufologists who are hesitant to part with their archives during their lifetime. This reluctance is attributed to psychological 'taboos' surrounding death and the transmission of personal legacies. Pinvidic acknowledges the difficulty of writing about one's own death in a contract but stresses its importance. He also presents a 'preventive preservation' option for those who find contracts cumbersome, suggesting they send an extra copy of any document they produce to SCEAU. While the contract is the 'royal road,' preventive preservation is a palliative that offers fewer rights to the depositor. Pinvidic concludes by urging readers to support SCEAU's mission, highlighting that immortality can be achieved by working for an eternal cause like research.

Bilans d'Activités 1994

Gilles Durand's report on the 1994 activities confirms that the year was exceptionally busy for SCEAU, exceeding previous years in terms of archive volume and number. Key activities included:

• Archive Salvage: Significant portions of archives from Michel Monnerie were received, described as a rich and diversified collection. A large number of questionnaires were sent out following an "Avis de recherche" published in the previous issue, leading to the recovery of 'lost' ufologists.
• General Assembly: Held on February 5-6 in Rozières, the assembly saw the renewal of the board, with Thierry Pinvidic appointed Vice-President and interim President. The assembly also decided to contact the former President to retrieve missing documents.
• Software Acquisition: The purchase of ACCESS software was approved to aid in database management.
• Abécédaire du SCEAU: Raoul Robé presented the final version of this pedagogical fascicule.
• Inventory Work: Members participated in the inventory of the Claude Fleurance fund in Remiremont and the GPUN association's archives in Nancy, which were then sent to Epinal for inventory.
• Public Meeting: In March, SCEAU had to justify its actions at a public meeting in Paris, organized by Mme Fouéré, facing criticism from Francine Fouéré and François Couten regarding the "Avis de recherche" for potentially infringing on privacy.
• Monnerie Fund Inventory: This extensive inventory began on April 7th at the National Archives and concluded in early July, requiring numerous hours from three permanent members and occasional guests.
• Correspondence Issues: The organization faced issues with mail delivery, with some correspondence remaining unsent for over a year, including an important contract with the AD du Bas-Rhin.
• Rousset Archives: Mr. Rousset, who had offered to transmit archives from a Norman association in late 1993, had not yet followed through, leaving SCEAU cautious about future dealings.
• GPUN Archives: The inventory of GPUN archives in Epinal, held on April 23-24, was partially completed, with plans for further meetings.
• CNEGU Session: During the 48th CNEGU session in Nancy on June 25-26, members signed definitive cession contracts for their archives. Currently, about fifteen contracts have been signed.
• Monnerie Inventory Completion: Raoul Robé finalized the Monnerie inventory in early July, resulting in 10 cartons of documents.
• "Main courante" (Logbook): The association's logbook, used for administrative purposes, has adopted a more regular rhythm.
• Summer Activities: Members engaged in various activities, including visiting 'Crop-circles' in France.
• September Meeting: A work meeting in Rozières focused on finalizing the CNIL dossier for the ufologist database and planning its computerization for 1995.

Personnalités et Archives

This section details the acquisition and processing of various archives:

• President's Status: The current president's lack of response to invitations is noted, maintaining a 'status quo' since the February 1994 General Assembly.
• October Activities: The secretariat processed information from the Monnerie and GPUN fonds, leading to the dispatch of 130 new questionnaires. Approximately 25% of responses were received, contributing to the collection of smaller fonds, including those from Mr. Leblan (correspondence with Science & Vie and J.C. Bourret) and Mme Edith Ambroise (press clippings and personal observation reports). These archives are slated for deposit at the AD de la Drôme.
• Mr. Fouché's Archives: Archives from Mr. Fouché, a former member of GEPA and GEOS, comprising books, correspondence, and foreign journal excerpts, were received. This collection also includes magnetic tapes of Jean-Claude Bourret's "Pas de Panique" radio show from 1974.
• Contractual Agreements: The principle of 'freely given donation' is mentioned, but the organization primarily promotes the contractual solution.
• Mr. Henri G. Besset: A meeting was held with Mr. Besset to discuss SCEAU's activities and present its contract.
• SRES Controversy: A significant issue arose in November concerning an association (SRES/BIDU-Banque.OVNI, managed by Franck Marie) that allegedly borrowed archives and failed to return them. This led to confusion and accusations against SCEAU. The organization reacted strongly and is monitoring the situation.
• November Activities: The main focus was on layout for Bulletin N°2, work meetings, and responding to correspondence. Thierry Pinvidic inventoried the Fouché fund, and Raoul Robé worked on the GPUN archives.
• Gilles Munsch's Delegation: Gilles Munsch's delegation to negotiate with the AD des Vosges was renewed.
• December Appointment: Daniel Audéon was appointed as the second regional delegate, tasked with negotiating a contract with the archives of Loire-Atlantique and contacting regional ufologists.
• New Communication Channel: SCEAU opened a mailbox on the 3615 SOS OVNL service.

Fonds d'Archives Ufologiques Louis Murco

This section presents the bibliographic part of the Louis Murco fund, which was not included in the previous issue. It highlights that while the collection is extensive, only about a third of the works are strictly ufological, offering a broader insight into Murco's personality as a co-founder of GEPA. These books are expected to be deposited at the Archives départementales des Vosges. The salvage effort was supported by Gilles Durand, Raoul Robé, and Thierry Pinvidic.

The bibliography is divided into two main categories:

• Ouvrages Ufologiques & Connexes (Anglo-Saxons): This includes works by authors such as Georges Adamski, Gray Barker, Leonard G. Cramp, Charles Fort, Allen W. Gordon, Morris K. Jessup, Dino Kraspedon, and "Scientist of Venus." Titles cover topics like space travel, flying saucers, and contact experiences.
• Ouvrages Ufologiques & Connexes (De Langue Française): This section lists French-language works by authors including J.-Claude Bourret, Michel Carrouges, Jimmy Guieu, Gerald Heard, Donald Keyhoe, Aimé Michel, Jean Plantier, Alex Roudène, E.J. Ruppelt, Franck Scully, and Paul Thomas. Topics include Martian apparitions, flying saucers, and extraterrestrial mysteries.

Ouvrages Scientifiques & Philosophiques

This section lists scientific and philosophical works, also divided by language:

• Anglo-Saxons: Includes works by Arthur C. Clarke, Victor J. Fox, Harold L. Goodwin, Jonathan N. Leonard, Alexander Marshack, and an ephemeris for 1907. Topics range from space exploration and astronomy to nuclear physics.
• De Langue Française: Features works by Ph. Bailhaghe (on Tsiolkovsky), N. Barabachov (on the Moon), Lucien Barnier (Scientific Year), Fred Becker (History of Astronomy), Pierre D. Bernard (Atomic Danger), Raymond Brosset (Nuclear Dangers), V. Charles (Atomic Dictionary), and Jean E. Choron (Knowledge of the Universe).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the critical importance of archive preservation in ufology, the challenges and efforts involved in collecting and organizing these materials, and the community aspect of the SCEAU organization. The editorial stance is clearly in favor of structured, long-term preservation through formal contracts and systematic collection, while acknowledging the need for flexibility and alternative methods like preventive preservation. There's a strong emphasis on the dedication and hard work of the SCEAU members and a call for greater participation from the wider ufological community to ensure the survival of this specialized heritage. The publication also touches upon the internal dynamics and controversies within the ufology field, as seen in the SRES incident and the public meeting in Paris.

This document, identified as page 12 of a publication titled '3616 CARAN', focuses on the services offered by the Archives Nationales in Paris, specifically the CARAN (Centre d'Accueil et de Recherche des Archives Nationales) service. It details practical information for researchers, including opening hours, reservation procedures, and indispensable precautions.

CARAN Service and Practical Information

The CARAN service allows users to order documents in advance and remotely, representing a novel approach to accessing archival materials. Access is reserved for readers with annual or temporary cards. The service also provides access to a database on the Archives Nationales and research in Paris. Practical information is provided regarding opening hours for various services, including the information desk, boutique, inscriptions, card issuance, and consultation rooms. Specific communication deadlines for document requests are outlined, with same-day requests needing to be made by 4:00 PM and reservations for the next day by midnight. Document retrieval and return times are also specified. Information on photographic services and specialized sections like Onomastics, Parisian Topography, and Sigillography is included, along with their respective contact details and operating hours. Dates of closure, including annual closures in July and legal holidays, are also noted.

Photographic Documentation and Demystification

A section titled 'ETUDES PHOTOGRAPHIQUES ET DEMYSTIFICATIONS' discusses the Michel Monnerie archives, described as the most important and second-largest fonds the SCEAU (Service des Archives et de Documentation) has safeguarded. These archives, chronologically spanning the mid-1960s to the 1980s, include collections of magazines like LDLN (1967-1985), photographic studies, observation reports, and correspondence. Access to these documents is restricted until 1995, and consultation requests must be addressed to the SCEAU secretariat. Several individuals are credited with participating in the safeguarding of this fonds: Gilles Durand, Thierry Pinvidic, Raoul Robé, and Thierry Rocher.

Ufological Reviews and Related Content

The document begins an inventory of ufological reviews and related content in French, starting with the publication 'LUMIÈRES DANS LA NUIT' (Lights in the Night). Detailed lists of issue numbers and their publication dates are provided, spanning from January/February 1967 to December 1979. This is followed by a list of 'SCIENCE FRONTIERES' (Science Frontiers) special issues, with publication dates from Autumn 1978 to December 1988. The lists include various series and numbering conventions, such as 'C.L,3è s.N°1' and 'V.N,1e.A,N1'.

Editorial Stance and Themes

The publication appears to be a specialized journal or newsletter focused on ufology, archival services, and scientific literature. The inclusion of extensive lists of books and magazines related to space, astronomy, and the unexplained suggests a strong interest in these subjects. The CARAN service information highlights the importance of accessibility to historical documents and research resources. The description of the Michel Monnerie archives underscores a commitment to preserving and making available specialized collections, even those dealing with potentially controversial topics like ufology. The tone is informative and practical, aiming to guide researchers through the available resources and procedures.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are archival research, particularly at the Archives Nationales in Paris, and the cataloging of literature related to ufology, astronomy, and scientific exploration. The editorial stance emphasizes the importance of making historical documents accessible to the public and researchers, as evidenced by the detailed information on the CARAN service. There is also a clear focus on documenting and preserving specialized collections, such as the Michel Monnerie ufology archives, and on providing comprehensive bibliographical information on relevant publications. The publication aims to serve as a guide and resource for those interested in these fields.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this document are the cataloging and archiving of UFO literature and research. The editorial stance appears to be one of thoroughness and organization, aiming to preserve and make accessible a wide range of materials related to UFO phenomena. The detailed listing of publications, issues, authors, and correspondence suggests a dedicated effort to document the history and development of UFO research, particularly within the French-speaking community, but also encompassing international contributions. The inclusion of non-UFO related magazines in a separate section indicates a broad interest in related or potentially relevant cultural content. The emphasis on detailed indexing and cross-referencing within the 'Courriers' section highlights a systematic approach to archival management.

This document, identified as "COURRIER 1979 + RELIQUAT 1978 + TEXTES (SUITE)" and associated with the publisher SOBEPS, appears to be a compilation of UFO-related materials, likely from a French ufological publication or archive. The content spans from 1973 to 1981, with a significant focus on 1979. It is structured into various sections detailing correspondence, press clippings, articles, and investigation reports.

Content Breakdown

The document is divided into several main categories:

• 01/ UFO COURRIERS DIVERS: This section contains a large volume of correspondence from various individuals and organizations, dated from 1977 to 1981.

Themes and Editorial Stance

The primary theme is undoubtedly ufology, encompassing UFO sightings, investigations, and related research. The document appears to be a record of ongoing work within a ufological community, likely aiming to document, analyze, and disseminate information about UFO phenomena. The detailed listing of cases, investigators, and sources suggests a systematic approach to research and archival. The presence of press clippings indicates an effort to track public and media coverage of UFO events. The "Dossier Special" sections and the detailed breakdown of testimonies and investigations highlight a commitment to in-depth analysis of specific cases.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes are UFO sightings, investigations, and the dissemination of information within the ufological community. The editorial stance, inferred from the meticulous cataloging of documents, correspondence, and investigations, is one of serious research and documentation. The inclusion of both raw testimonies and detailed investigative reports suggests a desire to capture a comprehensive picture of UFO phenomena. The cross-referencing with other documents (e.g., "Classé dans ETUDES PHOTOS") indicates a well-organized archival system. The document also touches upon related topics such as radiesthesia and the history of ufology.

This document is a detailed archival index of UFO-related materials, presented as a special dossier. The primary focus is on an observation from April 25, 1975, but it also encompasses a wide range of other UFO cases, investigations, and related documents.

Editorial: Our Memory is Fading...

The editorial, titled 'NOTRE MEMOIRE FOUT LE CAMP...' (Our Memory is Falling Apart...), written by Gilles DURAND in January 1995, reflects on the passing of prominent figures in French ufology during the early 1990s. It mourns the loss of Antonio Villas Boas, René Fouéré (associated with GEPA), Charles Garreau, and Fernand Lagarde. The editorial emphasizes the importance of preserving the memories and archives of these pioneers, noting that many ufologists are now elderly and their knowledge risks being lost. It calls for 'archaeo-ufologists' to document these individuals' experiences and highlights the role of SCEAU in preserving collective memory, referencing their 'Main courante' (logbook) as a vital tool.

Missing Ufologists: A Call for Information

The 'AVIS DE RECHERCHE UFOLOGUES PERDUS DE VUE' (Missing Ufologists: Information Request) section is a continuation of a previous initiative. It states that out of 478 entries, approximately 180 people have been located and contacted. The purpose is to reconnect with individuals who were active in ufology, some up to 30 years prior, whose contact details may have changed. The section apologizes if the initiative was perceived as morbid, explaining it's a necessary method to find people whose coordinates have changed over time. A detailed list follows, containing names of ufologists, their affiliations (e.g., LDLN, GREPO, CFRU, SVEPS, OURANOS), geographical sectors, and dates/activities. This list is extensive, covering several pages and including individuals like S. Aboville, Robert Adouard, A. Amore, Yves Auditeau, J.C. Baillon, and many others up to Dr. Nelly Wolf.

Advisory Note

A prominent 'AVERTISSEMENT' (Warning) section addresses potential confusion with other organizations. It warns that some ufologists, finding SCEAU's activities to their liking, have initiated actions that could be confused with SCEAU's own practices, such as questionnaires and contracts. Specifically, it mentions an association that launched a campaign to borrow archives for duplication, cautioning that the guarantees offered by this initiative seem unreliable, with some individuals having complained about unfulfilled commitments. SCEAU clarifies that it does not organize such archive borrowing campaigns and has only received voluntary offers from potential members to photocopy their archives, which have not yet been acted upon.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the preservation of ufological history and memory, the cataloging of archival materials, and the importance of documenting the contributions of early ufologists. The editorial stance is one of concern for the fading legacy of ufology's pioneers and a commitment to archival work. SCEAU positions itself as a key organization for safeguarding these historical records and maintaining continuity in the field. The publication also highlights the active community of ufologists in France through the extensive 'Missing Ufologists' list and the detailed breakdown of donations.
