The AFU reference and lending library was the first part of the AFU collection that started in 1975.
Due to sharply rising postage rates in recent years, the library is now more of a reference library, where copies of books and documents are preserved for the future.
The new AFU library, opened in June 2002, has ample space for new books in the shelves, and also for new book shelves on the floor.
AFU is listed in several Swedish archive directories and are establishing contacts with local and national archives, archive unions and archivists.
AFU's work in documenting ufology as a fairly young and developing social movement is known and respected by archivists all over Sweden through an article in a recent issue of the specialist archives journal "Tema Arkiv".
AFU has been a fairly successful undertaking and we feel we are doing something that will be of potential future value to the study of UFOs (or folklore, or psychology, or..).
