International Society for Cryptozoology

The International Society of Cryptozoology (ISC) was founded in 1982 to serve as a scholarly center for documenting and evaluating evidence of unverified animals; that is, animal species or forms which have been reported in some manner but which have not been scientifically proven to exist. The study of such animals is known as cryptozoology, and Cryptozoology was also the title of its journal. Loren Coleman, John Willison Green, and several other prominent cryptozoologists were either Life Members, Honorary Members, or Board Members.
The official emblem of the society was the okapi, chosen because although it was well known to the inhabitants of its region, it was unknown to the scientific world until 1901.
The journal Cryptozoology was published from 1982 to 1996. The Society also published a newsletter ISC News.
The ISC ended its activities in 1998 due to financial problems,
