Description

Overview
SCEAU (Sauvegarde et Conservation des Etudes et Archives Ufologiques) was founded in 1990 as a French non-profit with the sole purpose of preserving ufological heritage long-term.

Mission
Purely archival approach: deposits UFO research archives in national archive centers and public libraries in France. Explicitly neutral — no own research, no positioning on the nature of UAP. Collects and secures the documentary heritage of French (and European) UFO research for future generations.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Unique focus on archiving rather than research — important as many historical UFO archives were lost when organizations dissolved. Cooperation with the Bibliothèque nationale de France. However: no research output of its own, small volunteer structure.
