John Michell and Bob Rickard in their book Unexplained Phenomena said of the International Fortean Organization "INFO was founded in 1965 as the natural successor to the original Fortean Society." Colin Wilson said he wished to assure The American Spectator that Charles Fort is far from forgotten and credited the publishing efforts of the International Fortean Organization's INFO Journal. It features stories on such topics as anomalous astronomical phenomena, anomalies in the physical sciences, scientific hoaxes and cryptozoology." The quarterly INFO Journal grew from a 54-page publication to a 69-page publication and according to Factsheet Five, a publication dedicated to the review of periodicals, by 1993 was the longest-running Fortean publication. The Skeptic's Dictionary says "The International Fortean Organization publishes INFO Journal several times a year. Science Digest, in 1978, mentions their "attempts to handle inquiries from a world-wide membership". The International Fortean Organization (INFO) publishes the INFO Journal: Science and the Unknown, keeps a library of Forteana and offers research service. John Keel, author and parapsychologist, in both his writings and at his appearances at INFO's FortFest, said "the International Fortean Organization (INFO) carries on Charles Fort's name as successor to the Fortean Society." Keel, Colin Wilson and John Michell were long-time advisors to the organization. CHAMBERS DICTIONARY OF THE UNEXPLAINED PROFESSIONAL
