Artifact Collection Agency: Difference between revisions

 

== Literature ==

* In the [[Bernice Summerfield]] series the Braxiatel Collection is this.

* In [[The Wheel of Time (Literature)|The Wheel of Time]], the White Tower claims all sa'angreal, angreal, and ter'angreal for itself, arguing that they are too dangerous to be handled by anyone else (sometimes this is true). The government of Tear also tries to accumulate as many ancient artifacts as possible, with the argument that they need to keep them all out of the hands of the Tower and the Dragon.

 

== Live Action TV ==

* ''[[Warehouse 13]]'', in which the secret branch of the Secret Service is tasked with collecting them.

** Actually, the Warehouse (and its 12 predecessors) is run by an [[Ancient Tradition]] dating back to [[Ancient Egypt]], and its field agents are recruited from any government agency (or sometimes, civilians) if/when deemed worthy of the position. The fact that the current agents are both Secret Service is coincidence.

* In the ''[[Stargate Verse|Stargate]]'' franchise, this is part of Stargate Command's charter. Basically, their mission is "Go find alien tech we can use to defend the Earth against hostile ETs."

** Also in the Stargate franchise, the NID takes on the same function but with a more aggressive, less scrupulous and eventually illegal approach. Its successor, The Trust, is even worse.

* In the ''Librarian'' trilogy of TV movies, the Metropolitan Library is an Artifact Collection Agency.

* ''[[Go Go Sentai Boukenger]]'' has '''two''' collection agencies: The Negative Syndicate [the bad guys], and the Search Guard Successor Foundation.
