The International Fortean Organization (INFO) is a network of
Fortean researchers/writers, both amateur and professional, many of whom have developed life-long friendships and professional relationships. The organization was formed in the early 1960s by brothers, the writers Ron and Paul Willis, who acquired much of the material of the original
Fortean Society which had begun in 1932 in the spirit of
Charles Fort but which had grown silent by 1959 with the death of its' founder
Tiffany Thayer. INFO was incorporated as a
non-profit in 1965. The
International Fortean Organisation (
INFO) has a long history of disseminating information which includes the 35-year publishing history of the "INFO Journal: Science and the Unknown" and the FortFest, the world's first conference on anomalous phenomena dedicated to the spirit of Charles Fort.. A "living magazine" of tapes and cds/dvds/mp3s has been created from ground-breaking Fort-influenced authors such as
Colin Wilson,
John Michell,
Graham Hancock, John Anthony West,
William Corliss,
John Keel,
Joscelyn Godwin and many others on the forefront of phenomena research, who have given presentations at their conferences such as FortFest, FortNite and FortScape and is available from the organization. The organization also holds informal workshops, soirees, expeditions and get-togethers.
