songlinwrites reblogged your post Vintage Trek Zine Fanart and added:
i would literally, absolutely fistfight someone for that box. or even one zine from that box.
Do you know about the Ming Wathne fanzine archive at the University of Iowa?
NO
but it DOESN’T MATTER because I live in NOT IOWA
…fair point. Maybe they should partner with @transformativeworks to digitize them… >.>
(yes, I know it’s not THAT simple, but a girl can dream, yeah?)
Iowa has partnered and are digitizing their collection and you can request “research copies” of the Iowa holdings. I coached a friend through the process (library archive dweeb here) and they got one of the first Kirk/Spock stories copied out of the collection. The librarians there are awesome so if there’s something you’re itching for contact them. :-)
Thank you for this! I belong to a local SF&F Club that has produced 10 fanzines over the years. Love to have them preserved for future readers.
University of Iowa and Riverside both have sci-fi fanzine collections. Iowa is digitizing theirs.
