The Canadian Society for Interdisciplinary Studies (CSIS) was founded in 1982, "to explore and evaluate Immanuel Velikovsky's theory of catastrophism and its many implications."[1] Founders included: Earl Milton, Dwardu Cardona, and Irving Wolfe (President)
Between 1982 and 1986, the Society produced the typewritten and Xeroxed C.S.I.S. Newsletter, subsequently renamed Kataklysmos.
