James Aaron Siegel is an American scientist who founded the SCP Foundation in the 1800s. Siegel would eventually retire from this position and became O5-1. He fathered Dr. Charles Gears, who would eventually join the Foundation to become one of its most renowned members.[1]

The SCP Foundation originated in the "paranormal" /x/ forum of 4chan in June 2007, where the very first SCP file, SCP-173, was posted by an anonymous user (later identified as Wesley "Moto42" Williams), [14] accompanied by an image of the sculpture "Untitled 2004" by Japanese artist Izumi Kato.

August 12th, 1993. The door buzzer buzzed. “Ah, that must be them now,” Dr. Crow stood up and walked to the door. He always did that: never said "come in", never had anyone else go do it, he always got up and opened the door himself.

The SCP Foundation Ethics Committee is an independent branch apart on the SCP Foundation that keeps the morals and integrity of the Foundation in check and that minimal sacrifices are made to ensure normalcy; the head of the Committee is referred to as a Chairman, with the current seat being occupied by Odongo Tejani.

The SCP Wiki is a collaborative speculative fiction website about the SCP Foundation, a secretive organization that contains anomalous or supernatural items and entities away from the eyes of the public — or so it may appear.
