History Main / ArtifactCollectionAgency

* The SecretGovernmentWarehouse seen at the end of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' implies the existence of such an agency: It's far too large to only contain things stumbled upon by chance. The fourth film starts at either the same or a very similar warehouse, located in Area 51.
* As mentioned below in the LiveActionTV section, this happens in ''Film/{{Stargate}}''. It is worth mentioning that Stargate Command (the operation which runs the Stargate on the tv show) doesn't exist yet during the movie, so in this case, the artifact collecting agency is the US Air Force.

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' mentions the Cynod, an order of mages from Cyrodiil. NPC dialogue and in the lorebooks suggests they might be doing it in preparation for the next war. There are several [=NPCs=] in the game (such as General Tullius, just to pick one) who mention point-of-fact bluntly that another "Great War" between the Aldmeri Dominion and the Empire is expected by both sides. And, both sides are doing what they can to strengthen themselves and weaken the other side in preparation for it. Thus, the Synod's actions in trying to gather powerful magic artifacts play right into the notion of the Empire trying to prepare themselves for this war. They're also doing it to suck up to the Emperor.

* The Society from ''LightNovel/DragonCrisis'' collects artifacts called "Lost Preciouses". The more powerful/dangerous ones are usually locked away in vaults, while individual members of the Society have their own private collections. Eriko also started up her own Lost Precious collection agency called Seven Tails that specializes in acquiring and recovering Lost Preciouses.

* ''LightNovel/OthersidePicnic'' has the DS Labs, a medical company that has been researching the Otherside and gathering artifacts from that world [[spoiler: in order to cure members who were mutated due to overexposure to the Otherside.]] Kozakura is one of their researchers (and thus the source of money she used to buy artifacts from Toriko) while Satsuki is a guest researcher there, though not an employee.

* The Moebius Foundation in the ''[[VideoGame/StarcraftII Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty]]'' single-player campaign. Their mission is to [[GottaCatchThemAll collect]] [[DismantledMacGuffin a set of Xel'Naga artifacts]], and they hire [[LaResistance Raynor's Raiders]] to do the legwork. However, [[spoiler: the Moebius Foundation is really a front organization set up by the emperor's son, Valerian Mengsk.]]

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'':

An Artifact Collection Agency is a group of people who make it their business to collect [[ArtifactOfPower mysterious]] [[ArtifactOfDoom artifacts]]. Sometimes this is done to protect the artifacts from misuse or to protect the world from the artifacts which are considered inherently dangerous. Of course, collectors can have ulterior motives, too.

* ''Wiki/RPCAuthority'': As part of it's missionn The RPC AUTHORITY collects artifacts to research, protect and contain them to protect normalcy.
