New, Canada's UFO's: The Search
"Within the vault of Library and Archives Canada there exist files from five government departments that were involved with collecting data and conducting investigations on unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The Department of Transport, Department of Communications, Department of National Defence, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the National Research Council all dealt with reports, sightings and investigations of UFOs across Canada. Each department had different interests and goals. The truth about their investigations is found in files held by Library and Archives Canada. A selection of these files have been digitized and made available on this site."

Although we do not provide appraisals, the Humanities Department can help you in searching a variety of useful print sources as well as relevant web links that can be of assistance in researching the value of an old book."
