Just uploaded to Internet Archive the volumes of this extremely rare Spanish translation of On the track of Unknown animals by Heuvelmans.

As I said in my previous post, this edition from 1958 has very good an introduction written by Heuvelmans instead of Gerald Durrell. Also the chapter "There are lost worlds everywhere" has some paragraphs that were removed in the English translation, including a bit of Heuvelmans' opinion about UFOs. Personally, the covers are gorgeous.

If you have any rare Cryptozoological literature that is not online please consider digitizing it in the future, it doesn't matter the language.

Cryptozoological digitization project

Sharing some small things I've been working on beyond updating V1 the spreadsheet of files from the library, which currently only contains cryptozoological files contributed as of late April (meaning it's only 1/2 of the article library to date, missing not-cryptozoological articles and contributions after April).

The ISC Cryptozoology issues 5-7 have now been split into individual articles for convenience, more to come in the next few weeks. Still working on getting volume 13.

I've also split chapters from Abominable Science, Cryptozoology: Science And Speculation, Hunting Monsters, Folklore And Zoology, and Anthropology And Cryptozoology, editing them to include a bibliography where applicable. Hopefully these are of use!

u/Nublar1993 and I have also started parsing through the bibliography from L'Institut Virtuel de Cryptozoologie, Michel Raynal’s old website. I've found several English-language papers I didn't know of before and a treasure-trove of French-language stuff we're hoping to locate and port over. Very exciting stuff indeed.

Over the last two weeks, 130+ new articles have been added to the Digitization Project's library, all to be uploaded at the end of May - I do think monthly bulk-uploads are best. The Digitzation Project Discord is open to contributors as well, to better coordinate our efforts; if you have stuff to contribute you're welcome in. PM me for info.

Otherwise, enjoy the content. More new books coming soon!
