He is also a collector and a number of his articles have appeared in Amon Hen and Lembas.[3]

His research in South Africa was donated to Unquendor and later used by Renee Vink in her article on Tolkien and South Africa.[4]

From 1994 to 1996 Schellen also published a periodical named Voronwë for his smial.[5]

Schellen presented at Unquendor end of year meetings and the twenty-seventh Forodrim jubilee in 1996.
