Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
As you know, Oll has been working on the archiving project since early February, and he is now working on the BHM section. This 12th trenche is from the early 1990s and is (like the 9th and 10th and 11th) almost entirely North American bigfoot stories. Good stuff.

Excellent endeavour and much appreciated! There's just one problem I'm having though with the files: they seem not to be properly referenced.
There is, for instance, this interesting article by Jeff Glass on a whistling sasquatch, but other than that it is from 1980, I can't discover in what publication it was published.
Perhaps it would be a good thing to publish in the same directory a document listing all the bibliographical data of the clippings.
Sincere regards,
Theo
In the archiving folder on the website there's the list of publication codes.
The files are named as followed:
DATE OF PUBLICATION... description of the article... (PUBLICATION CODE)... article number
If any part of the date or the publication is unknown then a letter U is used for the day/month/year/publication.
for example if you look at the article Theo mentioned you can tell it was published in the November 1980 issue of Fate from the file name.
If anyone is having trouble finding the list of publication codes here is a direct link to it:
