On occasion, people will ask me: “Why is there a digital media fanzine collection at Texas A&M University. TAMU is not…is not….well, it’s not that science fiction-y. Is it?”

The answer is (a) yes it is, (b) TAMU has one of the oldest science fiction and fantasy special collections, © TAMU has hosted Aggie-Con, a gathering of science fiction and fantasy fans for decades (how does 45+ years sound?) and (d) the archivists are wildly enthusiastic about all things fannish, including media fanzines and filk. So check out  TAMU’s sci-fi/fantasy collection and the Sandy Hereld Memorial Digital Fanzine collection.
