Corrections and Clarifications:

https://youtu.be/q4u67cMdVek  - APAs Everywhere (pt 2)
Description: Since the first FAPA mailing in 1937, Amateur Press Associations (APAs) have been a part of fannish life. APAs are everywhere our panelists include a former Worldcon chair, a professional science fiction writer, a TAFF and multi-FAAn award winner, and a member of the Kipling Society Council. They are all long-time fans...In this wonderful FanHistory Zoom panel, our speakers, all long-time participants (in multiple different APAs), speak about their experiences with APA life. During this 2-part recording, you ll hear their personal fannish origin stories and APA experiences, along with a wealth of fascinating commentary on the nature and purpose of APAs. From fanac in a corner to intentional community , this video provides thoughtful, insightful discussion on why APAs have been a mainstay of science fiction fandom.

Of particular interest are the discussions of standing waves of cultural issues that run through our APAs and the ways that science fiction fandom has dealt with cultural challenges. Fandom had notable failures (and successes) dealing with social issues long before the general culture dealt with them...Of course, it s not all social commentary. You ll hear the story of APAs used in divorce proceedings, APAs which may have been created to bedevil particular individuals, and the APA which didn t live up to its banner of the 13 nastiest bastards in fandom . You ll learn why APAs thrive, even in this era of instant online gratification. Other topics: privacy issues, digital preservation of APAs, a soft toy APA, APAs you wouldn t join, Langdon charts, and of course, audience Q&A. There s a list of APAs at https://fancyclopedia.org/Category:APA. If your science fiction APA is not there, please write to fancyclopedia@fanac.org and tell us about it.

If you don't receive it directly, you can join the mailing list by sending me a note at fanac.org, or by filling in the the yellow highlighted form on the homepage.

Fanzines: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari.

PDF conversions and issue updates: Fantasy Review, Walter Gillings. Replaced the remaining 4 jpg issues with searchable PDFs. These zines are from 1949-50.


Corrections and Clarifications:
--Kteic Magazine, Bill Rotsler. Bill Burns says that all the efanzines Rotsler zines were scanned by Robert Lichtman. Thanks, Bill. I'll add that to the credits.
--References. I've been referring to the British fanzine bibliography on Rob Hansen's website as "Rob's bibilography". Rob says: ...referring to the British Fanzine Bibliography as *my* bibliography is incorrect. Yes, Vince Clarke and I extended it, but the initial bibliography was put together by Peter Roberts in the 1970s as a number of thin booklets. The British Fanzine Bibliography on my website is just an online version of that.". Thanks, Rob. I'll try to get it right going forward.
--Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung Index page, Redd Boggs - Thanks to Geri Sullivan for pointing out that the envelope to Lee Hoffman is really of 1983 vintage. Fixed. Thanks, Geri!

REMINDER: Our next Fan History Zoom session is scheduled for next Saturday at 2PM Eastern. If you're not on our frequent zoomer list and would like to join, drop a note to fanac@fanac.org.
APAs Everywhere - Fred Lerner, Christina Lake, Amy Thomson and Tom Whitmore - December 9, 2023 - 2PM EST, 11AM PST and 7PM London GMT
Since the first FAPA mailing in 1937, APAs have been a part of fannish life. There are topic specific apas, local apas, general interest apas, convention committee apas, letter substitutes and doubtless many more. Our panelists, all long time APA members, talk about their experiences with APA life: Why did you join the APA(s)? Did you APA live up to your expectations and why? Tell us about the APAs you've been part of, and tell us what makes them unique. (You can tell us about APAs you weren't part of too!) Talk about the way the members of the APA related to each other, and the nature of that community. Compare the experience of an online community like LiveJournal or Facebook with your APA experience. The Cult was called the "13 Nastiest Bastards in Fandom". Was it? What feels different about womens' APAs? Are APAs now obsolete? Would you join a new APA today?

Fanzines: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari.
--1 Issue - Maybe More to Come. Added 6 titles: Ibid 12 (Ben Indick, Nov 75), Ignatz 16 (Nancy Share, Jan 58), King Biscuit Time (Robert Lichtman, Aug 69), Limbo 2 (Dave Rike, May 60), Notebook 2 (Steve Stiles, 66) and Scatalog 1 (Art Wilson, Dec 60). Ibid 12 was for an APA called "The Esoteric Order of Dagon", and contains a first publication of some self-criticism written by Lovecraft in 1929. The Esoteric Order of Dagon is devoted to scholarship related to H.P. Lovecraft and the works of Weird Tales school of writers. Notebook is combined with the last issue of C.C. Rider. Scanning for Scatalog 1 is courtesy of Rob Hansen. Thanks, Rob!
--Black Bike, Leigh Edmonds. Added #8 (Jul 72).
--Dallascon Bulletin, Tom Reamy. Added #4-5 (Win 69 - Spr 70).
--Descant, Norm and Gina Clarke. Added #4 (Feb 61).
--Fan Polls, Awards and Surveys. Added the 2nd Tucker Fan Survey from 1954. Scan by Alan Stewart. Thanks, Alan.
--ForLo Kon, Kenneth Bonnell. Added 1 issue and created an index page for this 40s zine, relocating the issue that had been in 1 Issue-Maybe More to Come.
--Lark, Bill Danner. Added #486 (Aug 53).
--Le Moindre, Boyd Roaeburn. Added 2 issues: #21 (Nov 60) and #27 (Aug 62).
--Neolithic, Ruth Berman. Added 5 more issues: #7-9 (Jun-Aug 60) and 11-12 (Oct-Nov 60).
--Opuntia, Dale Speirs. Added the most recent issue. Thanks, Dale.
--Outsiders, Wrai Ballard. Added 1 issue and created an index page for this SAPSzine, relocating the issue that had been in 1 Issue-Maybe More to Come.
--Phenotype, Richard Eney. Added 3 issues and created an index page for this OMPAzine, relocating the issue that had been in 1 Issue-Maybe More to Come. The three issues added include a complete reprint of Laney's "Ah! Sweet Idiocy!" from 1948.
--Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung, Redd Boggs. Added 2 of this title, completing the run. Boggs did these for FAPA 100 and for FAPA 200, and the next issue was planned for 2012. I've also tucked in a curiosity - the envelope of a letter he wrote to Lee Hoffman with a very curious way of identifying her address. It did arrive successfully, since we found the envelope among LeeH's papers. Very silly.

Corrections and Clarifications:
--1 Issue - Maybe More to Come. Thanks to Sam McDonald for determining a publication date for Arnie Katz's "WC 1". Thanks, Sam!
--IPSO, Ted Forsyth, George Locke. Rob Hansen points out that IPSO was definitely an APA, with an OO named IPSO FACTO. From his Bibliography: "IPSO was a bound apa-mailing with contributions taking the title of that mailing's set topic..." For that reason, Rob doesn't list individual contributions separately, and neither did we. Thanks, Rob. I appreciate the correction.

Added 4 titles: Science Fiction Times-Chronicle V19#101 (Meade and Penny Frierson), WC 1 (Arnold Katz, 1960s-ish), Wildhack 1 (Dave Locke, Nov 85) and You Knew the Job Was Dangerous When You Took It #1 (Rich Small, May 72). WC1 is what looks like the first pub of the N3F Welcomittee.
--1940s One Shots. Added 5 items: Fantascience Fan 1 (Van Splawn, Jan 46), Pneumo 1 (Charles Burbee, Mar 48), A Premonition of Disaster (Howard Miller, Feb 48), The Rating of Rocket Fuels (Feb 48) and A Visit from Graham (Rick Sneary, Feb 48). If you're seeing an early 1948 theme here, you're right.
--Critical Wave, Steve Green and Martin Tudor. Added a brief Critical Wave update apparently done for the 1988 Corflu that announces a US edition. Scan by Rich Lynch. Thanks, Rich.
--Fanthologies. Add "Dancing and Joking", which I believe is a Westercon 57 publication of John Hertz's fanwriting. This may also end up under conpubs.
--Ipso Facto, Ted Forsyth. Added 3 issues of this title, one coedited with George Locke. Is it an APA, or is it a genzine? It's a themed APA, so rather than try to break it into pieces to put online, I've uploaded it (as what I think is) whole. Contributors/participants include Gordon Eklund, Fred Patten, Ethel Lindsay, Bruce Pelz, Ted White, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Robert Lichtman, John Berry and lots of others. The themes for these three issues are Time Travel, Heinlein, and Sex and science fiction.
--Lamppost, E. Frank Parker. Added issues 2-3 (Feb-Apr 44), completing the run of this FIDOzine. Scans provided by Rob Hansen. Thanks, Rob!

--Sambo, Sam Martinez. Added 1 issue and created an index page for this zine, relocating the issue that had been in 1 Issue-Maybe More to Come.

I can't quite figure the month on #309, but based on the activity report, I think it must be 1966.
--Sigbo, Jerry DeMuth. Added 1 issue and created an index page for this 50s zine, relocating the issue that had been in 1 Issue-Maybe More to Come. Warning - #6 has many pages that are faded to illegibility. There are others that are absolutely readable.

--Fan Spectator, Ron Maddox. Added an index page and issue #2 (Feb 47), and relocated the first issue which had been in 1940s One Shots. Pavlat-Evans only recorded the first issue, so I listed it as a one shot. They were wrong. Now, the question is whether or not there are any more.
--Fantasy News (New Series), Ken Beale. Added 2 issues of this newszine: #1 and #4, both Jun 63.
--MT Void, Evelyn and Mark Leeper. Added the 11/24/23 issue. Thanks, Evelyn and Mark.

The dating on Motor City Madness required a little digging. I was able to match up the dates in the paragraph on Autoclave with the dates of Autoclave 3 as listed in Fancyclopedia. Add to that the mention in the zine that the con was last month, and hooray. We have a date.
--Disturbing Element, Bill Rotsler. Added 1 issue (completing the run) and created an index page for this 1948 FAPAzine, relocating the issue that had been in 1 Issue-Maybe More to Come.

--Ichor, Dale Hart. Added 1 issue and created an index page for this 40s zine, relocating the issue that had been in 1 Issue-Maybe More to Come.

--Phanteur, Donald Thompson. Added the Winter 48 issue, which appears to be an unnumbered issue between 4 and 5. It appeared in the FAPA 42 mailing, and the Fantasy Amateur for that mailing shows an issue of Phanteur with what appears to be the right number of pages (our copy has the number obscured). Dating something winter always makes it hard to figure out if it's the end of one year or the beginning of the next.
--Shoreline, Jeanne Gomoll. Added 5 more issues of Jeanne's apazine, and a letterzine: #7-11 (79-81). Issue #7 is better known as "What Spare Time 2", a letter substitute that Jeanne ran through several APAs.

A fan in the 50s, a professional science fiction writer with his first stories appearing in the early 60s, and later a NASA spokesman, specializing in educating the public about the space program. Host of many a legendary launch party, Joe has lived the dream of many a young science fiction fan. Join us in January and learn more.


YouTube - https://youtu.be/bjB_gKIeYC0  - Frankenstein...a not so gory version-Delta Science Fiction Film Group (1963)
This 1963 fannish production of Frankenstein a not so gory version from the Delta SF Film Group, starts with a panorama across a mad scientist s lab featuring Entrails of Aldiss and bheer . It s an entertaining and complete story in less than 4 minutes, starring British fans of the day. You ll be (un)amazed at the special effects, the pathos of the story and its shocking ending. It's good fun, and Delta group went on to produce many more short films.

Bill Burns, who provided this and other Delta Films tells us The individual films date from 1963 to 1970, and were made on 8mm silent film to which a magnetic stripe was later added and the sound dubbed on. They were then shown mercilessly at club meetings and Eastercons, and suffered accordingly. For more about the Delta SF Film Group, see the Fancyclopedia article and see the text of Bill s talk at Manunicon (2016 Eastercon) at https://efanzines.com/Alien/indexd.htm. Many thanks to Bill Burns for providing the video, and the list of actors and crew that worked on the Delta Group films.

Bruce did these for APA-L, and presumably to cause consternation in indexers everywhere. It is not his only cyrillc fanzine title. Bruce - it worked.
--Hornpipe Series, Redd Boggs. Added 3 items of this late 80s publication: Postcard Mimeograph (#1, Feb 86), Under the Azalea (#2, May 86), and The House of the Hidden Poet (#3, Aug 87).

Corrections and Clarifications: Thanks to FANAC's Joe and Mark for finding many small, irritating errors in dating fanzines, spelling them correctly, and citing the correct APA mailing. Fixed as we go, but they don't always get public credit, so thanks guys.

November 4, 2023
APA Mailings. Mark has added a column to the individual APA pages that lists the number of pages we have of the mailing. If you click through on FAPA, for instance, you'll see that for the 100th mailing, Aug 1962, OE Charles Burbee, we had 23 zines for a total of 636 pages. That's our largest scanned mailing. Very cool. Thanks, Mark!

--Bulletin of the British Interplanetary Society. Added 10 issues of this "related zine" from the 1930s. Joe says: "It might seem that the Bulletin of the British Interplanetary Society is a bit out of our perview but the early issues have some resemblance to fanzines. Scientifiction is mentioned and the editors names are somewhat familiar. The Bulletin can easily be seen with (although hopefully more accurate than) such fanzines as Space Magazine and others. Thanks to David Ritter, we have some of these to pass along to you. We will not try to make great numbers of them available. These issues were from the collection of Alistair Durie." For example, V2#8 is edited by Arthur C. Clarke (whose name is more than somewhat familiar), and has an article by William Temple. Scans by David Ritter. Many thanks, David!

Title: Evolution of Art(ists) (Pt 1 of 2): Grant Canfield, Tim Kirk, Jim Shull, and Dan Steffan
Description: Fillos, illos, cartoons and the disturbing depictions of many a fannish nightmare have long made fanzines and convention publications more interesting. Multi-talented fans have run the gamut from writing to editing to fan artist. This distinguished group of award-winning artists represent the cream of 60s/70s fan artists, uniquely qualified to have this discussion.
In part 1 of this 2-part session, you ll hear their origin stories , their influences, how they found science fiction fandom, and what they perceive as the unique benefits of fandom to young artists. You ll find out why artists should avoid hecto, and torturous tales of justifying margins by hand. There are intriguing insights into adjusting one s art to the reproduction medium, and how fandom helped people along, especially towards professional careers. Larger than life figures make their appearance, including several stories of Bill Rotsler.
There s plenty more, including their views on Carl Barks, why Dan started Lizard Inn , Jim s take on the slippery slope to having a fanzine too big to staple without an industrial stapler, Tim on his deep desire to tell stories, and Grant s opinion of Starling .

Part 2: https://youtu.be/B9nRkWKi6E0 
In part 2 of this 2-part session, the fan art discussion continues, with more on professional careers as well. The conversation ranges from Tolkien s house to Harlan Ellison's house, from The Last Dangerous Visions to Bill Gibson, from Harlan Ellison stories to BNFs that had an impact. There are more Rotsler stories too. You ll hear about silent jam sessions, Esoteric Fan Art Tales , and the impact that conventions had on artists who worked in isolation. A real treat is the slideshow of samples of our panelists art, with their live comments on what each piece represents.
Q&A starts about 45 minutes into the video, with comments as well as questions, including Ted White s discussion of the impact of Mondrian s work on modern magazine design. Lest you believe that fanzines are a thing of the past, the video wraps up with a plug for an upcoming paper fanzine by faned Geri Sullivan.

October 15, 2023 at 4PM EDT (New York), 1PM Pacific (PDT), 9PM London (BST) and 7AM AEDT October 16 in Melbourne
Fillos, illos, cartoons and the disturbing depictions of many a fannish nightmare have long made fanzines and convention publications more interesting. Multi-talented fans have run the gamut from writing, to editing to convention running and fan artist. Is being a fan artist different now than it was decades ago, and if so how? What is the golden age of fan art? Is fan art a path to becoming a professional artist, or is it just for fun? Has fan art essentially disappeared with the adoption of the internet? Will AI help or hurt?

Corrections and Clarifications: Thanks to Izabeau Legendre for reporting a "404" error on Dave Kyle's "A Warning". In this case, it had been moved to the 1930s One Shots. Thanks also to Owen Whiteoak for reporting another. That one was due to the jpgs being replaced with a searchable PDF. Usually, a 404 error represents a bug we have to fix. Please everybody, continue to report the 404 errors. It really helps.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/3PBqOdmqMsE  Boston in the 60, Part 2 - Tony Lewis, Leslie Turek, and Mike Ward, moderated by Mark Olson.
Part 2 of the panel on Boston science fandom in the 1960s, continues with the true story of how the Boston in 67 Worldcon bid began, and the surprising origin of Locus , now the magazine of the science fiction, fantasy, and horror field . There are anecdotes of the late, lamented House of Roy, why NESFANs are expected to receive club permission to marry, and the origin of the Skylark Award. You ll even find out about the Silent and Silly Committees of NESFA, the pun fine, and what is likely the only retelling of Goldilocks to be written in Fortran. Also pastrami ice cream.

Many in the audience could easily have been panelists. The last half of the recording covers the Q&A, eliciting stories on the Boston Save Star Trek demonstration, Baskin Robbins expeditions and the Boston penchant for rules, rules, rules.

Panelists Tony Lewis, Leslie Turek and Mike Ward are uniquely suited to discuss the 60s. Tony joined the MIT Science Fiction Society (MITSFS) in 1957, served as "Onseck" and "Librarian", is a founder of NESFA, and chaired the first Boston Worldcon - Noreascon 1 (1971). Leslie Turek discovered fandom in the mid 60s, is a founding member of NESFA, chair of Boskone 6 (1969), editor of several MITSFS fanzines, and chair of the second Boston Worldcon - Noreascon 2 (1980). Mike Ward, MITSFS "Skinner", founding member of NESFA, and editor of several MITSFS fanzines, was involved with the Boston in 67 bid and the MITSFS index. (And moderator Mark Olson chaired the third Boston Worldcon, Noreascon 3 (1989).)

YouTube: https://youtu.be/A5JZhHm_A5k  - Boston in the 60s, with Tony Lewis, Leslie Turek and Mike Ward, moderated by Mark Olson
Boston in the 60s was a generative hotbed of fannish activities, with long lasting consequences. The first modern Boskone was held in 1965 by the Boston Science Fiction Society, as part of its bidding strategy for a Boston Worldcon. NESFA began in 1967, and the first Boston Worldcon was held in 1971.

Panelists Tony Lewis, Leslie Turek and Mike Ward are uniquely suited to discuss that period. Tony joined the MIT Science Fiction Society (MITSFS) in 1957, served as "Onseck" and "Librarian", is a founder of NESFA, and chaired the first Boston Worldcon - Noreascon 1 (1971). Leslie Turek discovered fandom in the mid 60s, is a founding member of NESFA, chair of Boskone 6 (1969), editor of several MITSFS fanzines, and chair of the second Boston Worldcon - Noreascon 2 (1980). Mike Ward, MITSFS "Skinner", founding member of NESFA, and editor of several MITSFS fanzines, was involved with the Boston in 67 bid and the MITSFS index. (And moderator Mark Olson chaired the third Boston Worldcon, Noreascon 3 (1989).)

In Part 1 of this discussion, you'll feel what fandom was like in those days, and how our panelists came to be part of it. There are anecdotes of the surprising way NESFA was funded, MIT's Building 9 (where the department of Magic is housed) and the day that Hugo Gernsback came to MITSFS. Isaac Asimov comes into it, as does the "The MIT Science Fiction Society's Index to the S-F Magazines", and the story of fandom's "pioneer in copyright". There are reminiscences of the big name fans of the area and the era, and the creative ways that Boston's intrepid fans helped create a community that is still vibrant today.

Boston in the 60s, with Tony Lewis, Leslie Turek and Mike Ward, moderated by Mark Olson
Boston in the 60s was a generative hotbed of fannish activities, with long lasting consequences. The first modern Boskone was held in 1965 by the Boston Science Fiction Society, as part of its bidding strategy for Boston in 67. NESFA began in 1967, and the first Boston Worldcon was held in 1971. MIT provided a ready source of new fans, and they made themselves heard in fanzines, indexes, clubs and conventions (and invented the micro-filk). What was Boston fandom like in the 60s? How was it influenced by MIT? Who were the driving forces and BNFs? What were the impacts of the failed 67 bid? What made Boston unique?

YouTube: https://youtu.be/Zla9J0Q9juE  - Minicon 23 (1988) Barbie s Inferno by Jeanne Gomoll, Fanzine Reading
Minicon 23 was held April 1-3, 1988. On Saturday afternoon, David Emerson hosted a program of fanzine readings, including Jeanne Gomoll s reading of her hysterical short piece, Barbie s Inferno . This 18 minute audio recording, enhanced with images, is a delightful visit both to that program in 1988, and to the subject matter Jeanne Gomoll s childhood experiences with Barbie...Jeanne is an outstanding writer, as well as an excellent reader. This short recording provides an empathetic glimpse into what many fans have experienced -- what it s like to grow up in a family where you and your parents have very different ideas of who you should be. Plus you learn about waxers. Thanks to Geri Sullivan for recording, preserving, digitizing and providing this program.

Originally published in Harlot (edited by Anne-Laurie Logan and Avedon Carol, 1983), a newly revised version of Barbie s Inferno is contained in Pretending, the first volume of Jeanne s two volume memoir, Pretending and Becoming. 2023 (to be released).

A quick update, just two days after the previous one because Verizon is coming to upgrade our network tomorrow, and I'm not sure when we will be back to normal. So color me a natural pessimist.

We've updated the Core List  as of 7/15. What's been updated is not the fanzine titles, but rather the % complete. We're almost at 84%. For those of you that are valiantly scanning for us (or would like to), if you have anything marked in red in the last column, we'd really like to get a scan. The red ones are the zines with the lowest percentage of issues on line. Of course, we'd be happy to have scans of any issues of the titles in the grid that are not already online.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/zFonwW3M5M4  - Castle of Terrors Delta Science Fiction Film Group (1964)
This fannish production from Harry Nadler and the Delta SF Film Group gives us a slapstick parody of horror movies, replete with well known British fans of the day. There are angry villagers, damsels in distress, and scary monsters, as well as less well-known horror tropes like food fights in this 20 minute amateur extravaganza. In Castle of Terrors you can feel just how much fun Delta Group was having (and get a clear sense of their love for slapstick)...Bill Burns, who provided this and other Delta Films tells us The individual films date from 1963 to 1970, and were made on 8mm silent film to which a magnetic stripe was later added and the sound dubbed on. They were then shown mercilessly at club meetings and Eastercons, and suffered accordingly. For more about the Delta SF Film Group, see the Fancyclopedia article and see the text of Bill s talk at Manunicon (2016 Eastercon) at https://efanzines.com/Alien/indexd.htm

YouTube: https://youtu.be/crw8QMkyYqQ  Description: At the 2023 Eastercon (Conversation), Guest of Honor Niall Harrison, and fellow Third Row fans John Coxon, Emily January and Abigail Nussbaum sat down for a discussion on the future of fandom (circa 2004). Moderated by Meg MacDonald, the panel hilariously tells the story of Third Row Fandom, named and brought into being accidentally by Greg Pickersgill during a Future of Fandom panel at the 2004 Eastercon. Themselves dubbed the future of fandom by Greg, the fans seated in the third row at that panel have made good on the title, pulling others into their orbit and having an outsized influence on science fiction and science fiction fandom over the last 20 years...Illustrated with powerpoint slides to map out their impact, this fascinating panel tells the story of a cohort of young fans maturing into movers and shakers in the field, as writers, reviewers, editors, award judges and convention organizers...Many thanks to Conversation 2023 for providing this recording, and particularly to Alison Scott for her assistance.

--Brevizine, Warren Freiberg. Added 10 issues of this new-to-us zine from the early 50s. Lots of fan fiction here.
--Filk  Added the 2001 combined edition of Bruce Pelz's Filksong Manual. Originally published in 4 parts, the combined edition is 101 pages long. This index is intended to be ordered chronologically, but I've listed this right after the original publication of part 2. If you've wanted to find the words to the Gilbert and Sullivan parodies, or "The Childish Edda", here's your chance. There are songs by Poul Anderson, Randall Garrett, Tom Digby, Ted Johnstone, and of course, Bruce Pelz. Plus many others. The original publications were in 1965-1969, and some of the songs are considerably older. "Think of the Old Tacky Stuff as Of Historical Interest. To Someone. Somewhere. Somewhen. And blame the appearance of this revision/reprinting -three years after I started it -- on Lee Gold."

APA Mailings: You'll start to notice that the APA Mailing columns on fanzine index pages are becoming populated with links to the specific mailing where the zine appeared. Hooray for Mark Olson for providing the software to automatically generate the links! Now, there are three things you will see:
1. Ideal - the link takes you to the mailing page, and the zine you started with shows up in the list of zines that were in the mailing. Yay.
2. OK - the link takes you to the mailing page, but the zine you started with is not listed. Please be patient - the next time we regenerate the list of APA mailings, it will show up properly.
3. Slightly annoying - the link is not found. Please be patient - this fanzine was the first one we have that belongs in that mailing. The next time we generate the APA mailings, it will be there.
Many thanks to Mark Olson for the software.


YouTube: https://youtu.be/08Q6oxAkoI8  - Researching Science Fiction FanHistory (Pt2 of 2)- Rob Hansen, Andy Hooper, Mark Olson & Joe Siclari
Description: In this Part 2 video, discussion ranges from academia to our panelists' investigative techniques. When the primary resources are fanzines, researchers deal with first person accounts where "accuracy is not their primary virtue", although how different that is from other histories is questionable. Unsurprisingly, panelists share stories and findings, more sometimes with each other than the audience. Spoiler alert: John W. Campbell's mother was not an identical twin!...Particularly interesting is a segment on the place of anecdote in fan history, and for those interested in learning more, there's a "starter list" of readings. Audience Q&A forms the last portion of the recording, and with many of the audience experts in their own right, the questions (and answers) are first-rate.

Fan History References. Added "Science Fiction in East Germany, 1949-1982" by Richard Jasinski. The author writes from Poland.

We have had to handicap women with high heels, flimsy stockings, slippery undergarments, dangling purses, and long flying hair else we could never keep up.". Warning: he starts by asserting that he was a male chauvinist long before the term was invented.
--Chapter Play, Bob Tucker. Added #3 (Feb 57).

There was one issue in Trimble-Other Publications  and that's now been moved.
--Musicals and Plays. Added "Fanotchka" by Andy Hooper. Fanotchka is a parody of Ernst Lubitsch 1939 film "Ninotchka". PDF supplied by Lenny Bailes. Thanks, Lenny.
--SFPA One Shots. Added "Watching the Candle Burn" by Lon Atkins (May 78). Scan by Mark Olson.
--TNFF, George Phillies and Jon Swartz. Added the April issue of the The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks, George.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/GNcLOqdnG5U; Researching Science Fiction FanHistory (Pt1 of 2)- Rob Hansen, Andy Hooper, Mark Olson & Joe Siclari
Description: The first fan history was written by Jack Speer in 1939, and the most recent is the crowd-sourced Fancyclopedia.org, updated as of yesterday. The fan historians on our panel each focus in a very different way on fan history...Rob Hansen, author of "Then: Science Fiction Fandom in the UK", brings a UK centered perspective to global fandom, and Andy Hooper has deeply researched the first World Science Fiction convention, both publishing in the traditional way. Mark Olson and Joe Siclari are part of the FANAC Fan History project - Mark is chief editor of the crowd-sourced online Fancyclopedia.org, and Joe is the chairman behind the Fan History project, and in particular the driving force behind FANACs digital archive (FANAC.org)...In this Part 1 video, the panelists talk about how they became interested in fandom and fan history in particular, and the different approaches they have taken to recording and interpreting fan history. You'll hear about the creation of the first timeline of UK fan history, the nude figure with a dagger in each hand, and the tenuous but possible connection of fandom to the Zodiac killer...Perhaps most engrossing are the stories of contacts from non-fans, relatives of fans long gone. Some of these have no real understanding of what fandom was and is, but are seeking to learn about their relatives. There's even an anecdote about Warren Fitzgerald, the African-American fan who was the founding president of the Scienceers, the first first regularly meeting sf fan club which was started in 1929.

YouTube: Feminism in 1970s/80s Fandom: Janice Bogstad, Jeanne Gomoll, and Lucy Huntzinger - Fandom in the 70s/80s saw real influence from people with a feminist perspective, from the creation of Wiscon to fanzines like Janus and Rude Bitch, and to raising awareness of the reality women experienced. What were the beginnings? How did Wiscon get started? Was fandom following popular culture or leading it?
https://youtu.be/0huTr49EoQg  - Part 1 - Panelists Janice Bogstad and Jeanne Gomoll tell us about the creation of Janus, Wiscon and the Madison nexus of feminist thought in 70s fandom, and Lucy Huntzinger brings us into the 80s with the lamentably short-run Rude Bitch, and her other experiences in fandom as a feminist. Moderated by Edie Stern, FANAC.org webmaster, this intriguing panel reveals the unusual origins of Janus (and how the editor found out it was a fanzine!), the academic background brought to the discussions of women in science fiction, and some of the factors that made Madison the hotbed of feminist thought in fandom. These personal histories trace the growth of feminist discussion in broader fandom, and explore why fandom felt like a safe space for women. The panelists also discuss the sometimes negative reactions received...Wound through with personal anecdotes ("Will the real James Tiptree please stand up!", and the production of "The Emperor Norton Science Fiction Hour"), the discussion provides a window on an important area of science fiction fan history.
https://youtu.be/8xcMcZNUCS0  - Part 2 - Panelists Jeanne, Lucy and Janice continue here with more on the reactions they received from others, and with the differences in being a feminist in fandom in the 70s and in the 80s...Part 2 has stories about dating approaches in fandom, the wonderful origins of Corflu, and a number of anecdotes (both serious and constructive as well as personal and funny) about well known women writers. There are charming anecdotes about Octavia Butler, Connie Willis, Sheri Tepper (and her rousing call to action on population growth), and Ursula Le Guin. You'll also hear about the origins and early days of the Tiptree Award, and its novel funding mechanism. Finally, there are audience comments and reminiscences including a true story about the Minneapolis chicken hat...This session is lots of fun, with a serious thread underlying it.

Fanzines: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari.

--STF maglet, Eva Jane Clevenger. Added 2 issues of this new to us title from 1948. The second is a little strange, as it is combined with Kar Mar (K.M. Carlson) and Nuzine (Ray Higgs) and the triplezine is only 6 pages long.

--TNFF, George Phillies and Jon Swartz. Added the February issue of the The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks, George!
--Valapa, Bruce Pelz. Added 4 issues. I think this apazine is called Valapa - the title is written in Cyrillic, and Valapa is the best I can do with a transliteration. It was for ValAPA so it kind of makes sense. I tried to put this up with the file names having a Cyrillic set of characters. The server refused, my local code for prepping the index page refused. I gave up and now we have the fanzine "Valapa".
--The Zine Dump, Guy Lillian III. Added #57 (Feb 23).

PDF conversions: Degler!, Andrew Porter. Replaced the first 52 issues that we had on line with searchable PDFs. The issues are from 1964-65. OCR by Mark Olson. Thanks, Mark.

Corrections and Clarifications: Thanks to Bill Burns for spotting that Science Fiction Parade  issue #6 was published at the end of the quarter and so my listing it as having been published at the beginning of the quarter introduced some errors in the Chron list. Fixed now. I think. Thanks, Bill!

YouTube Zoom: https://youtu.be/iH57MW1HfeE  New York Fandom in the 70s (Pt 1)- Moshe Feder, Jerry Kaufman, Andy Porter, and Steve Rosenstein
The story of New York fandom is fascinating, from its Worldcon in the 60s to fragmentation and multiple fannish groups in the 70s. In this 2023 Zoom recording, ably moderated by FANAC chair Joe Siclari, our panelists provide a fond and anecdotal recounting of their decades of experience in New York fandom. In this part 1 (of 2) you'll hear how they came into fandom (including the value of having a big name pro last name), the true meaning of Kratophany, and what the Avocado Pit really was. There's background on the many NY clubs of the era from Fanoclasts to Fistfa to Lunarians and SFFSAQC (this last founded by one of our speakers). There are personal anecdotes of Isaac Asimov, and the lengths that Jack Chalker went to in order to attend Lunarians while living in Baltimore. This video has plenty more - from the questionable respectability of the NYU club to why Moshe was cautioned not to sing along to "The Music Man" on Broadway to the first live fanzine, Spanish Inquisition and Stu Shiffman's exquisite mastery of on-stencil art.
--https://youtu.be/xFtdMBV0RFM  Part 2
In this part 2 (of 2), the session continues, beginning with how Star Trek conventions got started, modeled on the local traditional convention, Lunacon. Anecdotes include why a township in NJ paid bus fare for the actors in Trek-a-Star, how PBS was involved with the naming of Omni magazine, and all about Bunnycon, the get out of jail free convention . There are stories about SFExpo, Tesser-time, and the fanzine epicenter of New York - Brooklyn. You ll even hear why Moshe Feder, head of the Omnivores, could never be a Gastrognome. Towards the end of the video, there are comments from attendees, many of whom could easily have been panelists.
These are stories that really convey what it was like to be a fan in the 70s.

Corrections/Clarifications:Thanks to Bee Ostrowsky, changed the date on Blitherings #3 from Winter to Dec 44. The fanzine is marked "Winter, but given the confusion about which winter fanzines marked "Winter" actually belong in, a date of December makes more sense. At least it falls chronologically where it should. Thanks, Bee.

Fantasy Artisans is a report to members of the "Fantasy Artisans Club", founded in 1947 as a "club of and for the amateur and semi-pro artists and authors in science fiction fandom." Metrofen 3 is "unnofficial organ of Metropolitan Fandom, if such exists still. (Don't laugh; as I type this, I don't know.)"

Apologies for the username in the list. I'll give credit again if/when I learn the name.

References and the new approach: I should have mentioned in the last update that the reference section has been revamped. There are now three index pages, structured somewhat like the fanzine index pages are structured. We have a page for Fan Histories, a page for fannish bibliographies of professional publications, and a page for everything else - https://fanac.org/fanzines/References. There are shortcuts at the top so you can find what you're looking for. With this new organization, you'll find that the references now appear in the alphabetical, chrono, and by editor listings. I've also added an index page for the older editions of Fancyclopedia at fanac.org/fanzines/Fancyclopedia.

Fanzines: Unless otherwise noted, all scans by Joe Siclari.

You may notice that the navigation buttons are looking a little different. The references, Fancyclopedia buttons and miscellaneous other topics are now under "More". This may not be the Navigation bar's final form, but we'll settle on a standard soon. Thanks for your patience.

This is most likely our last update of the year. We have over 19,450 fanzines digitally archived and approx 23,000 publications total. Our APA Mailing view is growing as we go back and annotate our fanzine index pages, with 924 fanzines so far shown in their FAPA mailings (in context, sort of). Fancyclopedia is growing, the YouTube channel has topped 150K views, and the fannish community is continuing to provide scans and information to make the Fan History project better. Thank you all! Happy New Year.

--Brennschluss, Ken and Irene Potter, and Dave Wood. Addeed 2 issues: #2-3 (Aug 55-Apr 58). Contributors include Chuck Harris and John Berry.
--By Owl Light, Frank Denton. Added 5 issues of this perzine from the early 70s.
--Cadenza, Charles and Jane Wells. Added 9 issues of this new-to-us genzine from the 60s. Issue 6 has a convention report on Chicon III. There's a lovely little description of fannish re-entry: "Juanita? Juanita Coulson?" I said stupidly (what other Juanitas are there in fandom?). This was the first of a number of encounters with people which illustrates my wonderment at being at a convention and meeting for the first time people that I already know. I am afraid that all day Saturday I must have seemed quite goshwow; I certainly felt goshwow. You people, you jaded ones who have been to several conventions and/or live near a bunch of fans will have to remember back a ways to understand how I felt. Until the convention, I had met personally only Don & Maggie, Jerry Burge and Jerry Page since I reentered fandom. I had never met the Coulsons, the Busbys, Shaws, Lupoffs, Dick Schultz, Betty Kujawa, and dozens of other people even though I actually already knew them through fmz and letters".

Corrections/Clarifications: Thanks to Sam McDonald for pointing out that the 1957 Yearbook mentioned in the last update was already online. Between one shots, references, and other miscellaneous places to put fanzines that are not part of traditional runs, I sometimes end up posting a publication twice. Hopefully, there'll be less of that with the alpha listing  becoming so useful (unless of course something is published under multiple names).

References  - We're doing some reorganization on the References, and working to make sure they show up in the chronolgical, alphabetical and by Editor lists. The References will be organized more like fanzines than the existing free text we have today. There are three new index pages: Fan References, Fan Histories, and SF, Fantasy and Horror Bibliographies  (remember when EVERYONE was indexing?).

This will all take a few days, but most of it is up and useful right now. We are working to create PDFs of the references that were in JPG or HTML, and for now have mostly left links to the older format. The dictionaries were all like that. So, watch this space.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/641o6Os3oYw  - Fandom in 1970s Pittsburgh Pt1: Ginjer Buchanan, Linda Bushyager, Suzanne Tompkins, Laurie Mann (m)
Note: Participants had a few technical difficulties and there are some rough spots in the recording.
Pittsburgh in the late 60s/70s saw an explosion of fannish activity, with the founding of the Western Pennsylvania SF Association (WPSFA), the creation of PghLANGE and the publication of many fanzines, including Granfalloon (Linda Bushyager and Suzanne Tompkins). What made Pittsburgh special?...This group of panelists can certainly tell us - they're the Founding Mothers of WPSFA and PghLANGE. This conversation among friends truly conveys what it was like to be young, female, and the center of fannish creativity in 1970s Pittsburgh. It's history through facts and anecdotes, from how the organizers of the 1960 Worldcon felt about these new kids, to the Breezewood Curse and where the name PgHLANGE came from. You'll learn where and why Harlan Ellison whispered "Save me" to Ginjer, the contents of the first PgHLANGE art show, who Mary Esther is, and how Bob Silverberg came to welcome the Founding Mothers to Pittsburgh. It's great fun, and the convention stories of far too many people sharing far too little sleeping space may remind you of your early convention experiences.

https://youtu.be/sN9Raz5izs4  -In part 2 of this session, we continue the conversation by the Founding Mothers of WPSFA and PghLANGE (with a few friends!), and continue the focus on fans, professionals and conventions of the 70s... There are some great stories about Harlan Ellison, and Robert Silverberg. Octavia Butler s interaction with the group comes up too. Linda talks about why she started writing, and her connection to the NYcon, and Ginjer comments on her transition from social worker to award winning editor. The impact of Star Trek on WPSFA is dissected as well. Fans, both living and dead, are remembered, with stories and anecdotes, including the full story of the Pittsburgh subway system. My favorite is the story of the Sensuous SF writer .... There are touching stories, funny stories, and at least one story that achieved mythic status in fandom. If you were a Pittsburgh fan in the 70s, you may find yourself mentioned!

APA Mailings: https://fanac.org/fanzines/APA_Mailings. Thanks to Mark Olson, we've put online the first version of the "Fanzines by APA mailing". For selected APAs, here's where you can see what zines from individual mailings are on FANAC.org now. As we add more to the archive, the list shown will grow. Over time, you'll be able to follow get a sense of what each mailing was like and the mailing comments that came after. It's still thin, and it's still rough, and we need OE lists and dates for VAPA and others (hint...hint).

You can get a nearly complete view now of SFPA mailings from the early 00s, thanks to the massive scanning job done by Rich Lynch. Thanks, Rich! Thanks, Mark!

Apologies for the (recently) expired SSL certificate we had for a few days, that yielded the slightly scary security messages. Apparently auto-renewal means that I need to hit a button on the web hosting site in order to get the SSL certificate to renew. The next expiration date is on my calendar so hopefully it won't happen again. *sigh*

https://youtu.be/m67GUPgxGvE  MaggieThompson: Before, During and After the Origins of Comics Fandom - Part 1 of 2
Maggie Thompson has the unique distinction of being a second generation science fiction fan, one of the architects of comics fandom in the early 60s, and a much revered professional in the comics field. In this two part zoom session, she is interviewed by Dr. Chris Couch...Part 1: In this absolutely delightful interview, Maggie talks about her lifelong experiences with science fiction, science fiction fandom, and popular culture. From her early love of the Oz books and her delight in John Campbell's magazine Unknown, to her convention and masquerade experiences, to her professional successes, Maggie's anecdotes are engrossing. There are great stories here - how she acquired her complete set of Unknowns, the origins of her publications Comic Art and Newfangles, the family connection to Walt Kelly (and the Pogo comic strip), her friendship with Carl Barks, and more....Endearingly, when asked as a child what she wanted to be when she grew up, Maggie answered "I want to be a BNF" (Big Name Fan). She has certainly accomplished that ambition.
https://youtu.be/92CP4-7nsK8  Part 2
In this part of the interview by Dr. Chris Couch, we learn more about Maggie Thompson and her influence on comics. With husband Don Thompson, she published fanzines Comic Art and Newfangles, and went on to edit Comics Buyer s Guide and others. Maggie is a respected professional in the field and has been recognized with many awards, including the Eisner, the Harvey, the Inkpot, and the Jack Kirby awards...Part 2: Continuing this absolutely delightful interview, Maggie talks about her segue into the professional field, the end of Newfangles and the start of the Comic Buyers Guide. The engrossing anecdotes continue, with the nature of cosmopolitan Iola, Wisconsin, her articulation of "perpetual but non-exclusive rights", Dark Shadows, and the Done in One label for comics. There are stories of some of the field's great figures, including Harlan Ellison, Stan Lee, and Carl Barks. You'll see questions from the audience as well...After decades of furious activity in science fiction and comics, Maggie remains bubbling and full of enthusiasm for her chosen community. There was no need to ask Maggie what keeps her involved - the answers are more than clear.

Fanzine Navigation: Whoo-hoo! Thanks to Mark Olson and his nifty software, we have added another navigation aid for you. We now have a fanzine listing By Editor, which will be updated when we do our regular updates. This joins our normal archive listing, chron listing, country listing, and issue alphabetical listing, along with the newszine chron list, as ways you can find what you're looking for. Searches turn up all sorts of extraneous info, such as reviews and photos. Now you can see what's available for a particular editor far more easily. One note - name variations are listed separately (eg Walter A. Willis and Walt Willis). We'll get them combined soon. Many thanks to Mark Olson!

YouTube: https://youtu.be/OJ-JgYw1Js4  - Julia Ecklar was the special filk guest at Tropicon 8, held in Dania, Florida, in 1989. This recording captures the second part of an open filk at the convention, and includes 11 songs (of which Julia sings seven). The singers on this recording in order of appearance: Julia Ecklar, Linda Melnick, Dina Pearlman, C.J. Cherryh, Francine Mullen, and Doug Wu...includes much of the conversation between songs, the laughter and the real feel of a 1980s convention filk session. One lovely addition is that Linda Melnick signs on one of the songs, as well as sings. Another bonus - this video includes several songs by Orion's Belt, which consisted of Dina Pearlman, Francine Mullen and Doug Wu. Tropicon was a small convention, and you will see some of the author guests in the filk. That's Tropicon 8 GoH Lynn Abbey sitting next to C.J. Cherryh for example, and Joe Green sitting back against the wall...Thanks to Eli Goldberg for sound editing on this recording.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/j6uRdWcYStU: Minicon 15 (1979)-Theodore Sturgeon Guest of Honor Speech, with intro by Toastmaster Bob Vardeman - Minicon 15 was held April 13-15, 1979 in Minneapolis, with Guests of Honor Theodore Sturgeon, Rick Sternbach and Tom Digby...In this brief Guest of Honor speech, Sturgeon speaks about his experience at the "Jupiter Encounter" at JPL, seeing photos of Ganymede and Callisto for the first time. This is followed by a rumination on humanity, interwoven with his shaping of "Sturgeon's Law", and an exposition on his favored "Ask the Next Question" philosophy. In this brief 16ish minute recording, you get a sense of the man himself. A lovely (and knowledgeable) intro by Bob Vardeman sets the stage...Thanks to Geri Sullivan and the Video Archeology project for providing the recording.

Whups - the first two paragraphs were supposed to be in the last update.

Thanks to the many fans that let us know there was a problem with the security certificate on the site a few days ago. Our automatically renewing SSL certificate didn't automatically renew. It's fixed now. Thanks, all!

Updated on the Fan Publications  page: Thanks to a reminder from Murray Moore, I've updated three informational pages about our Fanzines. Go to Fan Publications  for links to the current view of our Core Fanzine List to Scan, our Fanzine Begging List, and our somewhat overlapping but intended to be compelling "We Only Need One Issue to Complete the Run!"  list. On this last one, you'll notice some items that we really should have - fanzines by fans that are still very much alive. We've asked most of them for copies or scans of the missing issues, and they don't have them either. So if you do, please let me know (at fanac@fanac.org). Murray has kindly volunteered to bring some of these elusive issues 1-and-done issues to Chicon for scanning. Thanks, Murray!

Fanzines: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari
--Askance, John Purcell. Added the July 2022 issue. Thanks, John!
--B.T. His Mag, Bob Tucker. Added 3 issues: #3 (Sum 46), a 1949 issue, and B.T. His Pages 15 (Feb 66). Look at the back page of #3 - can you identify the photos? Or rather, can you help identify the photos?
--CyberCozen, Leybl Botwinik. Added the July issue. Thanks, Leybl!
--fanzines/Elmurmurings, Elmer Purdue. Added #1 (Feb 62). Yes, this is the 2nd #1 on the index page. Fans are infinitely creative in their numbering.
--Fanmark Greeting Cards, Jim Caughran, Bjo and John Trimble. Added 8 items to a new index page for Fanmark Greeting Cards. These were a 1959 one-shot effort, but there are 7 distinct cards here. Still charming, even if not as applicable as they were 60+ years ago.
--MT Void, Evelyn and Mark Leeper. Added the 8/12 issue of the Mt. Holtz Science Fiction Society Newsletter. Thanks, Evelyn! Thanks, Mark!
--Quodlibet, Bill Patterson. Added 11 issues of Bill's 1980s perzine.

--Vagary, Roberta Gray. Added 4 items from the 60s for this new-to-us apazine title. Embarrassingly, these were lost in our pipeline for some time. Scans provided by Joe Patrizio. Thanks, Joe!
--Viewpoints, Roscoe Wright. Added #1 (Sum 52). "A controversy has risen about the management and tone of World Science-Fiction Conventions, particularly the coming one in Chicago. Since these annual conventions are of major interest to most science-fictionists the matter merits attention...The whole thing with the Chicon is that there arn t any really well known fans there...No one will know how bad things really are until it is too late. ... I think we need a new guard of convention planners.." This was in regards to Chicon II (Lest you believe that Worldcon politics are a new thing.


PDF conversions: Unless otherwise noted, all PDF conversions are by Joe Siclari.
--SF Newsscope, Lawrence Ray Campbell. Replaced the remaining issues we have on line with searchable PDFs. Also, since Joe pointed out that I was spelling the fanzine name wrong, I've renamed it correctly (and fixed the link online). For those keeping score, it had been SF Newscope and now it is SF Newsscope. Thanks, Joe.

Corrections and Clarifications: FanewsCard, Walt Dunkelberger. Thanks to Jerry Kaufman for spotting a wrongly asserted year for #325. I don't think it's actually #325 either, so it's there as Fanews Summer 1947. At 62 pages it's not a FanewsCard but a Fanews. Thanks, Jerry!

Corrections and Clarifications: Lots of rearranging going on. Based on recommendations from Sam McDonald, I moved several of the zines from the 1 Issue - Maybe More to Come  to the One Shot pages. Several others were already up, and I had a (forgotten) precursor to the "1 Issue-More to Come" index called "Miscellaneous Fanzines". Those are now moved over and the Misc page is gone. I'm sure I'll find more that were in various pockets on the website. Thanks again to Sam McDonald for his meticulous notes on the individual fanzines on this page.

"With your co-operation, these few pages can be expanded into a definitive digest of information on all amateur science and fantasy publications." Apologies, Rob, for failing to note it. Also, thanks, Rob!

--1 Issue-Maybe More to Come. I've had about 70 scans sitting waiting for more of the same title to be uploaded for a while. In this new index, I plan to put them up for the time being. I'm not going to list them all here, but by all means please check it out. There are some great contributors - look at Camber 6 - Terry Jeeves, Terry Carr, John Berry, Ron Bennett, Jack Williams, Robert Bloch, Ron Ellik, Buck Coulson, Greg Benford and more. If anyone has scans they are willing to make or provide for other issues of these zines, I'll gladly give them their own pages and take them out of here. We start with 35 zines today, from 1941 to 1986. There's some good stuff here. Scanning for Lhyfe 3 by Roelof Goudrian, and for Marc 1 by Perry Middlemiss. Thanks, Roelof! Thanks, Perry!

Alphabetical List of Fanzines  - This looks different. John Hertz noticed that collections were not alphabetized like other fanzines. That wasn't very good, so Mark Olson has made an updated version of our fanzine alphabetization software that now treats collections differently, and alphabetizes them by their own name instead of something like 1940s One Shots. Now, instead of the decade by decade list at the front end of the alpha page, you'll see some individual zines with numbers for names. Good observation, John! Thanks! And of course, thanks to Mark Olson for the updated software.

Minicon 10 (1975)-History of the MFS-Poul Anderson, Gordon Dickson, Clifford Simak, Bob Tucker & more: Minicon 10 was held April 18-20, 1975 in Minneapolis. This panel discussion, orchestrated by Gordy Dickson, majors in history and anecdotes of the 1940s Minneapolis Fantasy Society (MFS). Particpants: Kenny Gray, Poul Anderson, Oliver Saari, Gordon Dickson, Grace Riger, Bob Tucker, and Clifford Simak. A high percentage of the MFS members went on to sell professionally to the magazines...The panel begins with the flowering of MFS after Clifford Simak moved to town to anecdotes about late night hero-saving plot sessions to the true identity of Squanchfoot (hint: Simak s City was dedicated to him). You ll hear about the softball games in which many Saaris participated, the origin of Twonk s disease, how Poul became an MFS member and more. There s silly story writing, an imitation Red Boggs, and a mass induction into the MFS. For those that live(d) in Minneapolis, and for those that didn t, this recording provides an affectionate look at the early MFS...Many thanks to Geri Sullivan and the Video Archeology project for providing the recording.

You'll see something a little different in the Futurian War Digest  arena. Joe is scanning fanzines that came in a FIDO mailing, and I am putting them online separately under their own name, with a "Mailing" column indicating which FIDO aka FWD mailing they were associated with. At a later time, we will dynamically assemble the individual mailing index pages. Our plan is to do this not only for FIDO, but to gradually be able to assemble FAPA and OMPA mailings, even though they are partial and represent only the zines we have online.

April 24, 2022 History Zoom on YouTube: Joe and Gay Haldeman - Fandom From Both Sides, a Fan History zoom with Joe Siclari
Esteemed icons in the field, Joe and Gay Haldeman have been involved with science fiction fandom since discovering it in the early 1960s. With long, successful careers, they have a view on science fiction from both the fan and the professional side. Joe Haldeman s highly regarded writing career has included 5 Hugo awards, 5 Nebulas, 3 Rhysling Awards, and many other honors; Big Heart award winner Gay Haldeman has managed the business as well as been a literary agent. But in this delightful zoom interview, the focus is primarily on fandom. Interviewer Joe Siclari knows just what to ask, having been friends with the Haldemans for decades.
Part 1 https://youtu.be/yfrOhqzPEts: Joe and Gay describe how they first found fandom, their experiences at their first convention (Discon I, 1963), and how (and why) they became fans. They tell anecdotes of fans and professionals, their connections with non-US fandom, and the surprising identity of Joe s Italian editor. Joe tells the story of how he single-handedly (if unintentionally) started I-Con in 1975, his work on convention program (some of it while serving in Viet Nam), his contributions to fanzines and more. There s serious discussion about the reaction of fandom to him as a returning vet, along with Gay s fannish activities while Joe was overseas. You ll also hear much more, including the relationship between book advances and house mortgages, and the ultimate story of how far a science fiction novel can go. Highly recommended.
Part 2 https://youtu.be/4M-le9XebPg: In this Part 2 of the interview, the conversation continues with discussion and personal anecdotes about well-known authors and Big Name Fans. Rusty Hevelin was a particularly good friend, and Joe and Gay tell how they met him, and some impressive travel stories (especially the bicycle ones!). They offer stories and insights on Keith Laumer, Gordon Dickson, Robert Heinlein, Harlan Ellison, and others outside the field as well. This part of the zoom has audience Q&A, ranging from a literary question about the role of women in the Forever War to favorite means of writing (which leads to samples of Joe s artwork). Many of the questions begin with I first met you in xxxx , and the tone of the session is that of close friends, sharing a cherished time together. As one of the attendees says, You are some of the best people I know .

YouTube: https://youtu.be/a3fWrhyOT6o  FanHistoriCon 6 (1997) - From MITSFS to NESFA to MCFI - Meskys, Harter, Lewis and Clement
FanHistoriCon 6 was held February 13-16, 1997 in conjunction with Boskone 34 in Framingham, MA. In this 35 minute excerpt of the panel "From MITSFS to NESFA to MCFI". Ed Meskys, Richard Harter, Tony Lewis and Hal Clement tell us stories of Boston area fandom from the Stranger Club in the 1940s, through area fandom's evolution by way of conventions, MIT and worldcon bids to NESFA and MCFI in the 90s. Beginning with the readers' club of the 40s and giving way to the more active projects of MITSFS and NESFA, the panel fondly remembers the people and pastimes that were the substance of Boston area fandom. Anecdotes mention well known names such as L. Ron Hubbard and Hugo Gernsback, the price of an interior illo from Amazing Magazine in the 1940s, and the storybook romance of Larry Niven and Fuzzy Pink. You'll learn the rules of the MITSFS game "Insanity", the originally proposed name for NESFA, the origins of Locus and much more. You'll even get a first hand report of why/how Hal Clement was "fired" from the Noreascon 1 committee. If you're interested in 20th century Boston fandom, here's your chance to listen to four of the folks that made it happen.

--https://youtu.be/YBvajl4-Bew  Minicon 15 (1979)-History of the Future-Ted Sturgeon, Clifford Simak, Lester del Rey, Gordon Dickson: Minicon 15 was held April 13-15, 1979 in Minneapolis. In this recording, four of the most respected authors of their time, Ted Sturgeon, Cliff Simak, Lester del Rey and Gordy Dickson have a free ranging discussion on topics from earlier science fiction views of the future, to what the literature has "missed", and the relationship of technocracy to then current society. Lester del Rey is at his most opinionated, getting laughs and applause, as well as exhibiting his encyclopedic knowledge of the field. There are discussions of freedom vs governance, the problems of finding information, and, triggered by a question from the audience, a long discussion on education. Cliff Simak tells a deeply personal story about his son's experience in the public school system, and the other authors speak of their own experiences with education. There are predictions, anecdotes, and a few surprising revelations...Thanks to Geri Sullivan and the Video Archeology project for providing the recording.
--https://youtu.be/z7vvR6z_j-U  MidAmeriCon, the 34th World Science Fiction Convention, was held in Kansas City in 1976. In this very short video excerpt from the Fan Funds Auction at Big Mac, auctioneer Rusty Hevelin shows just how far fans will go to be supportive of the Fan Funds. In this clip, it's not books or vegemite up for bid, but currency. The second item is the one to watch, with Rusty skillfully extracting bids from the crowd. You'll also see fellow auctioneer Jan Finder making a brief appearance...This video is brought to you by the FANAC Fan History Project, with video from the Video Archeology project (coordinated by Geri Sullivan, with technical work by David Dyer-Bennet).

Sorry about the duplication (and sorry about forgetting it was already up). Thanks, Sam!

--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV9RBu6leUU, Traveling Ghiants, Fan Funds from the Days of Mimeo to the Days of Zoom (pt 1 of 2) -FanHistory Zoom
From the YouTube Description for Part 1: "Geri Sullivan (TAFF 2019) leads a lively panel on Fan Funds and how they've evolved over the last 70ish years. With Lesleigh Luttrell (first DUFF winner), Suzanne Tompkins (TAFF 2005), and Justin Ackroyd (GUFF 1984), the conversation in part 1 of this discussion ranges from why different Fan Funds were started ("to get rid of John Foyster for a while"), to the pre-internet experience of meeting an entire new fannish community, to the unexpected situations that administrators have faced. How long does a Fan Fund trip last? What responsibilities come with being a Fan Fund winner? Can you be an introvert and shine as a Fan Fund delegate? Here's your chance to find out."
--https://youtu.be/JyGMi4OSEyQ, Part 2: "In part 2, of our panel, Geri Sullivan (TAFF 2019), Lesleigh Luttrell (first DUFF winner), Suzanne Tompkins (TAFF 2005), and Justin Ackroyd (GUFF 1984), continue their collective tale of the history of Fan Funds. Beginning with further discussion on Fan Funds before the days of the internet, the topics range to the effects of Covid, being a Fan Fund winner to a virtual convention and other realities of modern fandom. There are traveler's tales, the true story of how Seattle was nominated for the Australian Natcon, an accounting of the winners of different Fan Funds that are now married, and more. Towards the end, there are comments and questions from the audience. Part 2 brings you up-to-date, and maybe a little bit into the future."

--Thud and Blunder Stories, Paul Shingleton. Added #5 of this quarter size fanzine from the early 60s. The editorial is by "PCS" and it took a while to figure out that PCS was Paul Shingleton. In fact, the only way I figured that out was by finding that some of the letters were addressed to "Paul", and doing a google search for "Thud and Blunder Stories" Paul. That led me to a 1964 TNFF issue that had a mention - "The last time we saw a quarter-size fanzine, was a few years ago when a Mr. Paul Shingleton was thudding and blundering his way through an appropriately titled periodical called THUD AND BLUNDER STORIES." Aha! Hooray for searchable PDFs, and for the vast indexing empire.

Death Does Not Release You - LASFS (pt2 of 2): "In part 2 of this FANAC Fan History Zoom Session (Feb 2022), the LASFS family reunion continues. Craig Miller (TV writer and producer, Worldcon chair, and LASFS member), Ken Rudolph (filmmaker, fanzine editor, former LASFS officer), Tim Kirk (professional artist, awarded many Fan Artist and Professional Artist Hugo Awards), and Bobbi Armbruster (professional and fan meeting and convention organizer) continue their conversation...Despite some early audio problems, the talk ranges from other Los Angeles fan subgroups like the Bixel Street Irregulars (40s), the Petards (late 60s-80s) and the Blackguards (60s), to well-known fans and professionals of the Los Angeles area to untimely deaths. Tim Kirk tells the wonderful story of how his Master's Thesis and a little luck resulted in his breaking through to the professional art field. There are even some convention stories, including the surprising origin of Loscon...If you're interested in the first big Heinlein blood drive, plans for the Last Dangerous Visions, or how many people could fit in the clubhouse kitchen, settle back and enjoy the recording."

Death Does Not Release You - LASFS Through the Years (Pt 1 of 2). From the YouTube description: "Legend (and John Trimble) has it that the slogan "Death Does Not Release You" came about when Ray Bradbury gave a talk at the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society and was asked to pay his dues. When Bradbury said his membership had expired, Ernie Wheatley told him "death does not release you, even if you die". Bradbury paid his 35 cents... This notable group of panellists, including artist Tim Kirk, TV writer and producer Craig Miller, filmmaker Ken Rudolph and convention runner Bobbi Armbruster are all current or former members of LASFS. They are fan artisits, convention runners, fanzine editors and club officers. In part 1, the panellists talk about how they were welcomed into science fiction fandom and into LASFS (including how Ray Bradbury talked teenager Craig Miller into going to his first club meeting). There are stories about the drug culture of the 60s and its barbarian invasion of the club, as well as about the big movers and shakers of the 60s and 70s, many no longer with us, such as Bruce Pelz and Len Moffat. Even if you've never been to a LASFS meeting, this feels like a nostalgic family reunion. See Part 2 for the continuation."

YouTube: https://youtu.be/UlCwj-SMlCQ. Description from YouTube: "Sam Moskowitz (SaM) was the chairman of the first World Science Fiction Convention (1939), a mover and shaper of science fiction fandom from the earliest days, and a historian of the field. In this audio interview (presented with illustrative pictures) from 1963. Fred Lerner, noted librarian, bibliographer and historian, conducts a conversation that ranges from the definition of science fiction, to typical early plots, to an analysis of the early 60s magazine and paperback industry. SaM was both a professional in the field, a writer, anthologist and critic as well as an iconic fan presence. In this interview, he speaks as a professional, casually inserting fannish references as he discusses the differences between science fiction fandom in the 30s and 60s, analyzes how fans relate to the general readership, and talks about the gaps that science fiction can fill...In Fancyclopedia.org, it is reported that "one friend described him as "physically massive" with a booming voice." In later years, SaM had throat cancer which required the surgical removal of his larynx, necessitating that he speak through an electronic voice-box, held against his throat. In this recording, you can hear SaM speak in his own voice about the field he loved and lived in...Thanks to Fred Lerner for providing the recording, and to Dr. Eric Fleischer (Dr. Gandalf) for digitization."

YouTube: https://youtu.be/RA8RevkW2HM  The Future of Future Evolution, with Joe Green, Jack C. Haldeman II, Vince Miranda, and Tom Maddox. From the YouTube description - Tropicon 6 was a small local convention, held in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1987. This panel discussion about gene editing and the Future of Future Evolution is worth watching for several reasons. Thanks to author Joe Green, the panel focuses in very quickly on gene editing, and the issues it brings to confront humanity, both technically and ethically. The insightful comments by the panelists, and the issues and choices discussed are still very much with us, despite the panel having been recorded in 1987. One warning - there is loud background air conditioning noise for the first 15 minutes or so, but the sound is perfect for the remainder of the recording...The recording also provides a view into the dynamics of small, local conventions, where the writers are part of the community, know each other, and are not adverse to arguing with the audience. Everyone knows everyone, and no one is shy about asking questions. This panel was held at 10PM on Friday night, and there is silliness in the beginning.

Added 2 items today: Fan World 2 (Jan 46), and Science Fiction World 1 (1945). Last October, Bill Burns had given us some links to "The Tin Can Wonder" about mimeography. Well, it apparently was an article in Science Fiction World 1, added today. Pretty cool.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/OXi_7JWTYUI  ConFusion 14 (1977) - Poul Anderson/Gordon Dickson: The Way It Was (Pt 1): Minneapolis Fantasy Society - This short video features a conversation between authors Poul Anderson and Gordon Dickson on the history of the Minneapolis Fantasy Society (MFS). Gordy, the older of the two, begins with a description of the prewar (World War II) MFS, a serious writers' group with members such as Clifford Simak and Donald Wandrei. Poul and Gordy then bring the calendar forward with anecdotes of traveling to Torcon (1948), MFS parties, and how the writing community worked in the middle of the century. These much loved members of the science fiction community are by turns very earnest, very funny and always very engaging in telling us "The Way It Was"...Note that this is part 1 of a longer program. As of January 2022, we are working to digitize the next part..Also note that there are about 5 seconds of disrupted video towards the end of the recording...Thanks to Geri Sullivan and the Video Archeology project for providing the recording.

His mimeo was an old fan-me-down, well rusted with age. He was tall and gaunt. His eyes were calm and his face was dead. Men turned away from him, women did not look, children stopped and watched him. It did not matter to the neo-fan. When the white lightning struck his mail box, he received his egoboo."

--The Committeeman, Roy and Deedee Lavendar. Added 6 issues of this new-to-us title from 1950-51, which at least originally was related to the N3F. From the first issue: "Prupose--none that we know of. We just had the urge, plus a little doubtful artwork, so put them together."

By taking advantage of the knowledge and information made available to him through NFFF, Joe has learned in one year what it used to take many years of trial-and-error for a solitary fan to find out."

-- https://youtu.be/70_LRCmjhOM  - "Diana Gallagher is now known primarily for her science fiction media novels. However, especially early in her fannish career, she also impressed as a filk songwriter/performer, and a fan artist. She received several Pegasus Awards, as well as the 1988 Fan Artist Hugo Award. As her songs often show, Diana was also an avid supporter of the space program. She passed away in December 2021....This recording was made in our living room in the early 1980s. At that time, she was a member of the local science fiction group, and an avid filker. She was our friend... This recording is excerpted from a longer filk recording, and features her performances of five songs (of which 4 were written by her). Many thanks to our Filk Consultant, Eli Goldberg and to our Sound Editor, Luke Bretscher for their help with this recording."
-- https://youtu.be/Yz1x2ryc50I  - Birth of the Society for Creative Anachronism - from an interview with Ed Meskys (2018) - "Ed Meskys tells us the story of the beginnings of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) in this short audio recording (enhanced with photographs). Ed played a pivotal role in introducing fencers Dave Thewlis and Ken de Maiffe to Diana Paxson, and has an insider's perspective on how the "Great Idea" was born...Ed recounts how the First Tournament came to be, and points us to a contemporary report about it in his fanzine, Niekas. You can read the report on page 7 of #16 at https://fanac.org/fanzines/Niekas/...This short recording is excerpted from a longer 2018 interview by Mark Olson." We are in process of converting the Niekas jpgs to searachble PDFs. If you want to read the Paxson article, go to the fanzine index page and see what we have online at the moment for #16.

YouTube: Part 1 - https://youtu.be/yh6FLBOWCDs  and Part 2: https://youtu.be/Ldl6n5YbKiY 
Added "Wrong Turns on the Wallaby Track: Australian SF Fandom 1936-60, Leigh Edmonds, Perry Middlemiss" in 2 parts. Note: To begin Leigh had technical difficulties for the first 10 minutes so his portion begins after an excellent, but slightly long, introduction by Perry Middlemiss.
From the YouTube description: "In this delightful Fan History Zoom (Dec 2021), historian Leigh Edmonds provides both context and details of Australian Science Fiction Fandom in the early days. Beginning with an introduction to Australian history of the period by Perry Middlemiss, the session entertainingly describes the important fans, and clubs from the beginnings in Sydney with a Science Fiction League branch, to the Futurian Society of Sydney and the Thursday night group. Leigh provides both entertaining and instructive insights, from the parallels to US fannish history, to the Australian group whose "main form of entertainment was feuding", and the impact on science fiction readers of the Australian wartime embargo on the import of unncessary items. He discusses the uniquely Australian barriers to becoming a professional writer in the field, the banning of Weird Tales on moral grounds and more. This enjoyable talk, illustrated with photos and maps, brings together both Australian history, and the nitty gritty details (and entertaining anecdotes) of the early days of Australian science fiction fandom....Leigh Edmonds is an Australian historian, and honorary research fellow at the Collaborative Research Centre in Australian History (CRCAH) at Federation University in Ballarat, Australia. He is also a very long term science fiction fan. Perry Middlemiss is a fanwriter and editor as well as a former Worldcon chair.

Fanzines Added: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari.

He never asks for revisions, but he almost always disagrees with some point in the physics (damn this typer) or chemistry or sociology of a story...I've missed him at the last couple of conventions; I do like John, in spite of everything. I still hope to write something I can sell him."

YouTube: https://youtu.be/IAk4g-3A1MQ. Added our latest Fan History Zoom Session. From the YouTube writeup: "...Keith Freeman and British fan historian Rob Hansen provide a first hand look at some of the landmark moments of British fandom. Keith found fandom in the 1950s, while still enlisted in the RAF, and became part of the Cheltenham Circle. Over the next decades, he was heavily involved in science fiction fandom. There are wonderful stories here of the origins of St. Fantony (and the associated jousting), the role of the Liverpool group in fannish marriages, the British Science Fiction Association (BSFA), and well known fans such as Eric Jones and Dave Kyle. In addition to fannish tales, Keith relates a chilling first person account of an H-bomb explosion on Christmas Island... Rob Hansen, author of "Then: Science Ficton Fandom in the UK: 1930-1980" is both interviewer and participant, eliciting an absorbing hour of fannish history."

St. Fantony, BSFA, Brumcon and more - British Fan history with Keith Freeman and Rob Hansen Time: 2PM EDT, 7PM London, 11AM PDT, 1PM CDT
Keith Freeman and British fan historian Rob Hansen provide a first-hand look at some of the landmark moments of British fandom, from the inside. Keith has been a science fiction fan since the 50s he was a member of the Cheltenham Circle, a founder of the Reading Science Fiction Club, and is credited with reviving the Order of St. Fantony. He s a fanzine fan (still active!), a past officer of the British Science Fiction Society (BSFA), and the 1977 winner of the Doc Weir Award. Among his considerable fannish accomplishments, interviewer Rob Hansen is well known as a historian of British fandom, having published the definitive history Then -- Science Fiction Fandom in the UK: 1930-1980. Join us for this interview/discussion and find out about Brumcon, St. Fantony, the SF Society of Great Britain, the Eastercon relationship with BSFA, and more, including perhaps what it s like to watch an H-bomb explode.

FANAC by the Numbers: Updated our By-the-Numbers profile for the first time since last December. I don't have a way to easily count the photos, so that count is old. In the last 10ish months, we've added almost 3000 fanzines, close to 400 convention publications, over 1100 Fancyclopedia articles and 24 YouTube pieces. I'll try to get this updated more regularly. There's a lot of fan history; the numbers are a way we can mark our progress on documenting it all.

Her descripton of Isaac Asimov (reality) vs Isaac Asimov (what she expected) includes - "He turned out to be a senior-sized Harlan Ellison without the pipe and mustache.

October 2, 2021
YouTube: Thanks to Mowgli Assor for making it possible for this 88 year old fannish legend to participate in a 21st century Zoom.
--Part 1: https://youtu.be/fubdSdZSmrc  Juanita Coulson has been an active science fiction fan for 70 years. She's a marathon fanzine publisher, a mainstay of the filk community and a professional writer. Among her honors: Hugo winner (Yandro, 1965), Worldcon Fan Guest of Honor (1972), Filk Hall of Fame inductee (1998) and she famously outsang a steamboat whistle (NASFiC, 1979). In this fascinating interview, Juanita provides personal recollections of some of the legendary fans of science fiction, of whom she is one. Juanita starts with her entry into fandom, her experiences at Chicon II (1952 Worldcon) and recalls how racism affected her friend Bev Bowles as she tried to check into a convention hotel. Juanita tells of her first meeting with Harlan Ellison, the origin of Bob Tucker's "smooth" gesture, the first all night filksing and how she lost her job during the McCarthy era for being "different". This interview is a rare and enlightening look into science fiction fandom in 50s, 60s and onward. Part 1 ends with Juanita's rendition of one of the filksongs she made famous, Reminder, written by husband Buck Coulson.
--Part 2:https://youtu.be/hFVaScb9WmI  In part 2, Juanita talks more about fandom in the 60s and beyond There are stories of filk and its evolution, Filthy Pierre, her appearance as General Jinjur of Oz, and the quirky story of Gene Wolfe and the jacket shot. She recounts the start of her professional writing career, with the mentorship and encouragement of Marion Zimmer Bradley, and receiving this note from first reader Terry Carr: "In the immortal words of Lee Hoffman, you have lost your return postage". She speaks about women in science fiction fandom, the difference that Star Trek made, and getting lost in the basements of the St. Louiscon (1969) hotel. There are a lot of stories to tell, and after 70 years, Juanita is still a fan. Fandom is home.

Reminder: This Saturday, we are restarting our Zoom History  sessions, and featuring Juanita Coulson. If you're not on the frequent Zoomer list, please send an rsvp to fanac@fanac.org. From the announcement: Juanita Coulson has been a marathon fanzine editor, a mainstay of the filk community, and a professional writer. She s a little bit larger than life, and among other honors, has been a DUFF winner (2014), a Hugo winner (1965), Worldcon Fan GoH (1972), NASFiC GoH (2010), Filk Hall of Fame inductee (1998) and a Big Heart Award winner (2012). Juanita has been widely known in filk music circles since the 1950s for both her singing and her songwriting, and was instrumental in establishing filk as a part of SF conventions. For thirty-three years, she co-edited the fanzine Yandro with her husband Buck, publishing a massive 259 issues. Yandro was nominated for a Hugo Award every year for ten years in a row, from 1958 1967. It won the award in 1965, thus making Juanita Coulson one of the very first women editor s to be so honored. Juanita s first novel, Crisis on Cheiron, came out in 1967. In this zoom history discussion, expect stories of 60+ years of fandom, how Juanita beat the steam boat whistle at NaSFic, mimeography, her Star Trek fanzines, and maybe even a song or two.

Corrections and Clarifications: Bill Burns has reported the first migration bug (now fixed). He received a 404 Not Found error (in itself a problem), and when he tried to follow the directions to report the issue, further got an error that there was no webmaster@fanac.org. That email address has now been added, and the wayward file has been found. I saw that error page and never noticed the webmaster@fanac.org direction. Thanks, Bill!

PDF Replacements: When we replace a JPG version of a fanzine with a PDF version, it takes a while for Google to catch up. You are better off following the links in index page, and not searching for specific issues. Google may send you to the old JPG page, which is no longer online. This has been a PSA (in response to folks telling me they are getting 404s).

YouTube: https://youtu.be/cGnbizJYUvs. Big MAC Hugos. From the YouTube description: "MidAmeriCon, the 34th World Science Fiction Convention, was held in Kansas City in 1976. In this recording, Toastmaster Bob Tucker orchestrates a relatively compact ceremony, nevertheless with time and space for a little fannish humor, with the assistance of Pat Cadigan. The evening includes the awarding of the E. Everett Evans Big Heart Award, and a heartfelt presentation by Lester Del Rey of the First Fandom award given to Harry Bates. Ben Bova and Joe Haldeman are among the Hugo recipients accepting awards. The recording is a little damaged in places, but very watchable. Video and video restoration provided by David Dyer-Bennet and the Video Archeology Project."

If you can see this line, then our server migration is complete! Let's hope we're done for a few more years, as it's always traumatic. Apologies to everyone who sent material that has languished during the migration, or who sent corrections which have been seemingly ignored.

We've published another FANAC Newsletter - FANAC Newsletter. This is #16, and has several vignettes on how fan history is being documented, along with an update on the work. You can assign your own adjectives to the vignettes, but I like "charming". There's also a mini-article by Joe on relevant fanzines from comix, mystery and folk music fandoms.

--1950s One Shots. Added 2 choice items - "It's Tycho's Floor in '54', which Joe says is from Chuck Harris and Ken Slater (Sum 53), and "The Shaw Retort: A Further Symposium on Fannish Behavior in the Human Pro", by Bob Pavlat (Nov 59). The Tycho Floor piece is from Proxyboo Services Monopolated (hmm...).
--1960s One Shots. Added 1 item - Science Fiction Age 1 from James Taurasi. It includes an article titled "All Our Yesterdays Have Light, Fool..." by Sam Moskowitz. It starts with describing some of the let us say, interactions, Sam had with Terry Carr and Harry Warner over Harry's analysis of "The Immortal Storm".
--Ankus, Bruce Pelz. Added 16 issues of this new-to-us APAzine. Bruce started it in 1961 and the last issue was published in 2002, a very respectable run. Cataloging zines that were edited/published by Bruce Pelz is always such a relief. As a librarian, he was careful to put issue numbers and dates in a consistent location and very visible. He kept his creativity for other aspects of fandom. The scan for issue 49 was provided by Rich Lynch. Thanks, Rich!
--Etwas, Peggy Rae McKnight. Added the full 7 issue run of this early 1960s fanzine by Peggy Rae. Peggy Rae McKnight of course is Peggy Rae McKnight Pavlat Sapienza. Contributors include Harry Warner, Jr., Les Gerber, Ozzie Train, and others. The shorter issues may be more like perzines.

It was written in April 64 and is all about the Breendoggle. Boggs did not publish it until 10 years later, commenting "The events described here could no longer manage to happen in today's fandom, though this is no improvement. They couldn't happen, but worse things might." There's a collection of Breendoggle related material here - https://fanac.org/fanzines/Breen_Boondoggle/.

YouTube: Added the very funny fannish musical "The Decomposers", produced in 1978 at Boskone 16. It's in two parts.
Part 1: https://youtu.be/HNkutuCsAvI 
Part 2: https://youtu.be/Ijqp1x7QU6w 
From the writeups - "A very funny musical depiction of a poorly run Worldcon, this fannish musical was written by Mark M. Keller and Sue Anderson, and produced with musical direction by Chip Hitchcock. The problems are played for laughs, with specialized fandoms clamoring for space, a very inexperienced head of program room allocation, and a Worldcon Chair who does nothing at all. There are plays within plays, and we see a few musical numbers from each."...."In part 2, the WorldCon's woes continue, as the chairs resign and the committee puts the convention together on the spot. There are Star Wars and Forbidden Planet jokes, there are gentle digs at Isaac Asimov and other well known authors, and there are more than a few in-jokes. Watch for the delightful songs on "Women in SF panels" and "Quitting Science Fiction". If you have trouble with understanding any of the words in this 40+ year old recording, you can read along in the searchable Songbook at https://fanac.org/fanzines/Musicals/Musicals06.pdf. NESFA, the New England Science Fiction Association, which ran Boskone 16, comes in for a little jab a "The New England Science Fiction Authority", but features in the big ending."
Lots of fans appear, including some that are no longer with us; check the Playbill for a full list - https://fanac.org/fanzines/Musicals/Musicals07-02.html.
This recording was made by Bill Desmond, provided by Rick Katze and digitized by Dr. Gandalf. Thanks!

--Leer, Charles Lee Riddle. Added 3 issues of this new-to-us title from Honolulu in the early 50s. Some of the issues are one sided, and we've included the back of the pages so you can get the original experience (sort of). These were run through FAPA.
--Miscellaneous Fanzines. This is a newly created index page for fanzines where we have one scan, and don't expect to get scans of additional issues. If we do at some point get scans of additional issues, then we'll give them their own index page and pull the issues out of this one. We start with 4 zines, including Jack Chalker's "Oh Yeah" an informal history of Discon II.
--Miscellaneous Related Fanzines. This is a newly created index page for fanzines that are not really genre zines but are related, and for which we don't have much of a run. We start it with one zine, the John Dickson Carr Bibliophile by Rick Sneary.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/cHJCvdkVRWU  ConFiction (1990) Worldcon - The Hugo Ceremony. From the YouTube writeup: This video, captured with a hand held camera, covers the Hugo Awards, as well as the Campbell Award for New Writers, and the fannish Big Heart and First Fandom awards. Many awards were accepted by designees for the recipients, and we see Anne McCaffrey and Jack Chalker among those accepting for others. There's a bit of humor from Dave Langford, and appearances by the American Ambassader to the Netherlands, C. Howard Wilkins. The World Science Fiction Society Banner, first hung at NyCon II in 1956, makes its appearance, and the video ends with the traditional view of all the recipients on stage." The video was recorded by John Cramer, provided by Tom Whitmore and used with the permission of Kees van Toorn, Chairman of ConFiction. Thanks, all!

Photos: Heicon, 1970 worldcon. Added 6 photos thanks to Kees van Thorn. Thanks, Kees!

--1960s One Shots  Added Void V1#1, from C.A. Cook and Lew Gaff. We know it's dated Winter, but not sure what year. This is primarily a fiction zine, and we believe there was no issue #2. Perhaps they found the title already in use?

The Fan-Vet was published by the Fantasy Veterans Association.
--Fantum, Anne Steul. From Rob Hansen: Fantum is "historically important being the first fanzine by an individual German fan. The SFCD, which had only formed less than a year earlier, had ANDROMEDA as it's official organ, and that was it. FANTUM's editor, Anne Steul, also organised the first German SF con (with some help from the Benfords) and did an OMPAzine, too." Scan by Rob Hansen. Thanks, Rob!
--Femizine, Joan Carr. Added #2 (Summer 54). From Joe Siclari: "Femizine was an integral part of one of the great fannish hoaxes. It started as a zine for all women contributors with editor Joan W. Carr. Joan's address was at Maida Camp in Egypt. Joan Carr, of course, was male fan Sandy Sanderson. He had some help from Frances Evans and Ethel Lindsay. The subterfuge was revealed in 1956, in issue 9 officially. Pam Bulmer's editorial says the revelation was met with laughter but there were also some bad feelings generated. It took a while, but Ethel Lindsay revived the zine under a proposed (seriously or not) new title, Distaff. Femizine was back officially with #11 and with a swarm of new contributors, many were US femmefans. The last issue was #15 in 1960. Rob Hansen has some background including photos of "Joan" and the other Femizine contributors at http://www.fiawol.org.uk/FanStuff/THEN%20Archive/Femizine/Femz.htm" Scan by Rob Hansen. Thanks, Rob!

Talking about a panel on "Fandom in the 60s" that morphed into a panel on "Fandom in the 50s" when Bob Silverberg elected to go to the botanical gardens instead, "A strange and moderately wonderful thing happened when we started talking about fannlsh fanzines and sercon fanzines: Ted was rhapsodizing over HYPHEN when Ed Wood boomed from the audience, "I WAS ON THE HYPHEN MAILING LIST AND I USED TO DROP EVERY COPY INTO THE WASTEBASKET WITHOUT EVEN OPENING IT!" Ted told him he was crazy and had no taste and they promptly got into a loud argument that went on for five minutes while I sat there bemused, thinking to myself that this was exactly the sort of thing that used to happen in fandom in the fifties and all the neofans in the audience, like Tom Perry, were seeing history come alive."

Fanzines Added: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari.
--1940s One Shots. Added 1 item: Fan Spectator 1, edited by Ron Maddox (Feb 46). This NYC zine looks like it was planned to be a newzine. We have it in one-shots because Pavlat-Evans says it's a one shot, but Bruce Pelz's list has unnumbered one pagers as well. If we find them, we'll give it a dedicated directory.
--1950s One Shots. Added 2 items: Con-Science, edited by Eric Bentcliffe, Eric Jones and Terry Jeeves (Apr 54). Con-Science is "a not so serious constructive publication dedicated to all those who have fallen at past conventions.". Also added - Confusion 1, edited by Gar Williamson (Sep 52).

--Perryscope, Perry Middlemiss perzine. Added the most recent, #11. Thanks, Perry!
--Quandry Index. Added Laundry 1 to the Quandry index, Lee Shaw aka Lee Hoffman, and with a charming Quandry homage cover page. From Joe Siclari: "Although it drives Edie crazty to do all the work to put up a minor little one-shot fanzine, these items are occaisionally little gems of satire and sometimes fine narrative of travel or even serconess. Laundry is a self-satire from Lee Hoffman that I had to share. I liked LeeH, even when she was indulging the puerile side of her sense of humor like teaching our cat to fetch by with tobacco."

Conpubs: Torcon II. Added Jim Young's Minneapolis in '73 Filksong book to the competitive bid materials of the day. It's also linked from the Filk index. Scan by Joe Siclari.

--Andromeda, Pete Campbell. Added 4 issues of this mid50s UK zine. Apparently Pete Campbell had fun with the dating - dates are marked from 1055 to 1854.
--Ark, Ron and Sue Clarke. Added 2 issues (the complete run) of this mid 70s fanzine. #1 is marked Dec 74 followed by #2 in Mar 74, but I believe the first issue is really 1973.

From Joe Siclari: "Each zine is marked as the last issue of that title and that they were going to be combined as The Ark edited by them both. There are 2 issues of The Ark...My biblios show no more GoF after #3. Ron certainly went back to The Mentor titles and produced more." Issues 90-91 and 95 were scanned by Alan Stewart. Thanks, Alan!

YouTube: https://youtu.be/4sv3HriC4NM. Part 2 of the Bjo and John Trimble interview is up. From the YouTube description - "In part 2 of Bjo and John Trimble's interview with Joe Siclari (May 2021), they tell the remarkable story of how they met Gene Roddenberry and became involved in Star Trek. Learn the story of how they started, orchestrated and managed the "Save Star Trek" campaign which resulted in the third year of Star Trek, the original series. Hint: it all started in Clelveland. There's much more in this interview. There are stories of the early days of the SCA, including how it got the name "Society for Creative Anachronism", the day that a Knight of St. Fantony appeared at an SCA event, and the unlikely story of the first coronation of an SCA king. Additionally, you'll hear about costuming, Takumi Shibano and how Gene Roddenberry helped get him to Worldcon (and how Bjo helped Shibano-san learn that his wife spoke English), and Q&A from the attendees."

Fanzines Added: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari.
--Etherline, Ian J. Crozier. Added 22 more issues of this Australian newszine. Added #43, 45-47, 49, 51, 53, 66-70, 72-76 and 80 from 1955-1956. Scans by Leigh Edmonds. Thanks, Leigh!

--Opuntia, Dale Speirs. Added #501 of Dale's perzine. Thanks, Dale!
--Shaver Mystery Magazine, Richard S. Shaver. Added what we believe are all 7 issues of this semi-pro, related zine. From Joe Siclari: "Some might not consider this a fanzine because rumor has it that it was paid for by Ray Palmer and Ziff-Davis. However the Shaver Mystery stories were a subject of great controversy in fanzines. So it is of related interest. It definitely was not a money-maker. It seems to fit into the category we later called a semi-prozine. The bibliographies I have seen say there were seven issues which we have. There does seem to be a descrepancy in the numbering. Ex. the Locus checklist has seven issues. It lists Vol.2,#4 but does not have Vol.3,#2. If anyone has a copy of Vol.2,#4, we's like to get a scan of it." If you've been hearing the words "Shaver Mysteries" bruited about, now's your chance to see what all the fuss is over. And the art! McCauley, Finlay...
--TNFF, George Phillies. Added the May 2021 issue of TNFF. Thanks, George!


We have updated the Fanac Names Cross Reference. There are currently 28,671 names in these listings.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/cGAi8CH8ig4  - The Bjo and John Trimble Interview, Part 1, is uploaded to YouTube. From the description:"Bjo and John Trimble sit with Joe Siclari (May 2021) to tell us about their fannish histories. In part 1 of this interview, they talk about how they each found fandom, their ultimate meet-cute under Forry Ackerman's grand piano, Burbee's "Golden Treachery" and more serious topics...The Trimbles changed their part of fandom. Bjo talks about how she revitalized LASFS in the 1950s, and about the beginnings of the convention art show as we know it today (and Seth Johnson's surprising part in that). Fandom is not without its controversies, and the Trimbles also speak about the Breendoggle and Coventry. Part 1 finishes up with anecdotes about Tony Boucher's poker games. In Part 2, the interview will continue with the Trimbles' roles in the Save Star Trek campaign."

Youtube: https://youtu.be/0PE8pcwolOo  Part 2 of the Zoom session interview with Erle and Steve Korshak is now online. Erle is pushing 98. As I was constructing the write up, I realized just how much and clearly Erle had given a picture of the early days of fandom. From the writeup: "Part 2 of his interview is replete with entertaining anecdotes of well known fans and pros in the field such as Aldous Huxley, Charlie Hornig, and Bob Tucker. Erle recounts a sweet tale of Frank R. Paul drawing on stencil, and a charming story of how he himself came to be the model for the Hubert Rogers cover for Heinlein's "Revolt in 2100". You'll also hear convention stories, art stories and more. Best of all, Erle paints a clear picture of what science fiction fandom was like in the early, early days."

YouTube: https://youtu.be/1wrUeYvvzJ8. Last Tuesday, we did a FANAC History Zoom interview of First Fandom stalwart, Erle Korshak. From the YouTube description: Erle Korshak, founder of the legendary Shasta Publishers, instrumental in the second Worldcon in 1940 (Chicon I) and very likely the first SF bookseller, sat with his son, Stephen, and fan historian Joe Siclari for a dive into his 80+ year SF fan career (April 2021). Part 1 of this wide-ranging and entertaining interview covers Erle's early days in fandom beginning in 1934, his experiences at the first Worldcon as a 16 year old with his high school friend, Mark Reinsberg, and how they became the leaders of the 2nd Worldcon, Chicon 1, in 1940. Erle tells numerous anecdotes about some of the famous fans and pros of the period, including Bob Tucker, E.E. "Doc" Smith, Anthony Boucher, L. Ron Hubbard, Robert Heinlein and others. Erle tells wonderful stories of Shasta, including how the Library of Congress made them successful. He recounts in detail the rise, fall and controversies of the small press.

The piece is "Banquet Remark(s)" and it reads like Bob Bloch - "Friends - and Dr. Asimov: Perhaps I shouldn t have said that.

Men like Isaac Asimov do not pass our way very often...and for this we should be grateful."

April 7, 2021
YouTube: https://youtu.be/UI3TWPGXJ0A. A choice addition today (although they are all choice) - an audio recording of the 1969 GoH speech given by Jack Gaughan at Boskone. The talk is entertaining, and it is so very clear that Jack is among his friends in his chosen place. From the YouTube writeup: "...is both entertaining and thoughtful, interspersed with sharply witty comments. He quotes from Leonardo Da Vinci, and teases his friends, some in the room, including Isaac Asimov, Ed Emsh and Donald Wollheim. He starts with a recounting of the problems faced by female artists like his wife, Phoebe. He tells anecdotes about his experiences as an illustrator, teases Lester del Rey, and compares the lives of artists today to the lives of artists 500 years ago. Jack is frank about his own feelings on science fiction and science fiction illustration. It's chatty, low key, entertaining and comfortable and a marvellous window into an important figure in the field, lost far too soon...Thanks to the New England Science Fiction Society (NESFA) and Rick Kovalcik for providing the recording. Thanks to Andrew Porter for providing photos and to Dr. Gandalf for digitization."

Fanzines Added: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari.

--High Points, Elsie Wollheim. Added #2 of this 1945 zine. Since Pavlat-Evans only lists #1, I feel as if we have overachieved.
--Improbable, Vowen Clark. Added 2 issues of this new-to-us title from the 1950s. From #3 - "This brings up a pet peeve of mine. Quite a bit of material has been written, telling just how unfair, rude, discouraging, vicious, and just generally ornery those legend-shrouded figures, known only as BNFs, can be. This is hogwash...pure, unadulterated and unabridged junk. Most of this propaganda is written by neos who have received bad reviews of their pride-and-joy zines or by neos who aspire to join the BNFs by criticising them." There was a review by Bob Tucker in that issue along with material from Guy Terwilleger.
--Metaphysical Review, Bruce Gillespie. Added 4 issues: #2-4 (Nov 84- Jul 85) and #9 (Aug 86). Issue 4 has Don Ashby's story of "The Magic Pudding Club" circa 1975.

We are delighted to report that FANAC.org was given the 2020 FAAn Award for Best Online Achievement at the Sunday, March 28, virtual award Zoom call. Many thanks to all who provided us with this most excellent egoboo!

YouTube: https://youtu.be/8mmkN3fCMrE. Added Part 2 of the Zoom talk by Jim and Greg Benford is now online. From the YouTube writeup: "Jim and Greg Benford continue with their history in science fiction and fandom. They discuss fandom at UCLJ (now UCSD), travelling ghiants, and the talented writers of the Bay Area. There are stories of famous names, from Poul Anderson and Robert Silverberg to Edward Teller, Elon Musk, Martin Rees and Stephen Hawking. The relationship of science fiction to technical advances in weaponry is discussed, and regional differences in fandom. The anecdotes shine, and Greg tells a particularly fine tale about Buzz Aldrin, almost the first man on the moon. To cap it off, there's the Void Boys song, and a little of its history including some comments by Ted White."

Fanzines Added: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari.

There are anecdotes about well known fans and writers, about the Texas fan community of the day, and early science fiction conventions.

March 10, 2021

--The Explorer, Ed Noble. Added 13 issues of this new-to-us title from the early 1950s, the official organ of the ISFCC - the official organ of the International Science Fiction Correspondence club.

Burbee coined the expression "short-shot" to define it and separate it from the one-shot, but the imitations it provoked were more usually called letter-substitutes, and were circulated by people whose correspondence ran away from them. Kteic was thought a hoax by many -- it was sent to a very limited and select group."

FanHistory Zoom Sessions:
Date and Time: Date and Time: March 27, 2021, 2pm EDT (11AM, 6PM London, 5AM Sunday Sydney)
Our next FanHistory Zoom will be "The Benford Twins, Fandom and the Larger Universe". Jim and Greg Benford became fans in the 1950s, and throughout a lifetime of science, professional writing, and extensive accomplishments, they have remained fans. In this Zoom session, they'll talk about their introduction into fandom, their fandom over the years, and tell stories about the important and interesting people they've met. What influence has fandom had on them? Did relocation change their interactions with fandom? How have their professional lives influenced their fandom? Join us and find out (and expect a few surprises.) To receive a Zoom link, please RSVP to fanac@fanac.org . The current schedule of future Fan History zoom sessions is available at https://fanac.org/zoom.html.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/VSqEmwjpILA. Added the Noreascon 3 (1989) Masquerade. Some of the songs used by the costumers caused a copyright issue with YouTube, so they have been muted. Sorry for that, but better to mute than not put it up at all. The Masquerade video was an hour and a half long, so I've put it online in 2 parts. From the description of part 1: "...In this recording, costumers make their appearance on the big stage, and showcase the physical results of their imaginations and their skills. The costumers range from Novices to Journeymen to Masters, and the themes from silly and playful to very serious...Thanks to Dr. Gandalf for digitizing this recording." You can find part 2 at https://youtu.be/3MTLJo4U42Y.

They speak about conventions, both regional and Worldcons, awards and traditions, bigger than life personalities, and fanzines. At the heart of it all, lies the hospitality and inclusiveness of Southern Fandom. There's also a brief appearance by Jim Benford on the topic of his early fanzines, and an interesting Q&A session with the audience."

YouTube: https://youtu.be/3bUiO6jhRWA  Uploaded "Science Fiction as Social Criticism", a half hour interview with Fred Pohl by Fred Lerner, conducted for WKCR in 1963. From the YouTube writeup: Frederik Pohl fields questions on everything from how science fiction covers race relations to religion and advertising in this 1963 audio interview (presented with illustrative pictures). Fred Lerner, noted librarian, bibliographer and historian, was just 17 when he interviewed Frederik Pohl, both a professional science fiction writer of long standing, and one of the earliest science fiction fans. At the time of the interview, in addition to writing, Fred Pohl was editing prominent SF magazines and original anthologies. In this recording, listen for the discussion of his "Space Merchants" to predictions about the advertising industry, his views on fantasy vs science fiction, comments on the best fiction of the period, and even a whiff of "fans are slans". This thoughtful interview provides not only a perspective on a major author in the field, but on a major editor. It's worth noting that this is the second interview Pohl did that day. Interviewer Fred Lerner tells us that "the recording engineer was so interested in what Pohl had to say that he forgot to turn on the recorder. Fred Pohl was gracious and patient enough to repeat the interview!" Thanks to Fred Lerner for providing the recording. Thanks, Fred!

YouTube: https://youtu.be/xkpsZNqj02U  Added part 3 of the FanHistory Interview of Ted White by John D. Berry (from Feb 6). From the YouTube description: "Ted White has been in the science fiction field for over 70 years, as a fan, artist, fanzine editor and publisher, professional writer, editor and jazz critic..Ted talks about his solo fanzines and his fanzine collaborations, including one which was "an exercise in macho fanmanship". He describes his theory of fandom as an anarchistic meritocracy, his experiences with the Washington Science Fiction Association, and tells wonderful anecdotes about Lee Hoffman. And, from a first hand perspective, he talks about Walter Breen...My favorite quote from this part of the interview - "When I first became a fan, anyone else that was a fan was de facto my friend."

Of these, Leslie wrote eleven, including one song which is a posthumous collaboration with Rudyard Kipling. For decades, Leslie has been a towering presence in the filk world, with some of her songs achieving true iconic status.

There are anecdotes of the New York Fanoclasts and of how the bid for the 1967 NyCon3 came about. Ted discusses "The Club House" column in Amazing Stories, responsible for bringing many into fandom in the early 1970s (including me), and speaks of his many fanzine collaborations, along with challenges along the way."

From the YouTube description: Ted White has been a science fiction fan for over 70 years. His career spans the gamut from artist to fanzine editor and publisher to professional writer, editor and jazz critic. He is considered by many to be the current patriarch of fannish fandom. Interviewer John D. Berry has known Ted for more than 50 years. In this portion of the interview, Ted talks about how he got into fandom at 13 in Virginia, how he started publishing fanzines , and his journey to New York City leading to the start of his professional writing career. He gives insight about his artistic roots, and his theories of editing and publishing fanzines." This is part 1 of part 1 - there's another hour of the first session to put on YouTube.

We're planning our 2nd Fanhistory Zoom for January. Scheduled for January 23, at 4PM EST, we will have an interview of Ted White by John D. Berry. Ted has been a fan for almost 70 years, and there's a lot to talk about. Please send your RSVPs to fanac@fanac.org, and I'll send you the link a day or two before the talk.

Two of the largest fanzines ever produced are now up on FANAC.org. See the listings below for Outworlds 71 and for Warhoon 28. These are enormous, worthwhile labors of love and you should read them.

One of the comments that came in response to one of the splash pages was that we should keep the BNF splash pages permanently somewhere. Great idea. We're saving them in - https://fanac.org/fanzines/FANAC_BNF_pages/  . Warning: These are a point in time snapshot of materials we have on line when the splash pages were done. They won't be updated as we put up new material, although they may be updated a little later. Example: Since her splash page was up last September, we've added LeeH's perzine "Self-Preservation" and her "Inadequate Time Machine".

YouTube: Uploaded on Dec 27, the video of Rob Hansen's Virtual walking tour of fannish London. From the YouTube description: "In the midst of the Covid pandemic, Rob Hansen, noted historian of British fandom, takes us on a virtual walking tour of fannish Holborn (London). Using video and audio clips, along with historical photos, Rob provides a thoughtful and insightful look at British fan history. He talks about early fans, conventions, fanzines, clubs, and the impact of WWII. As this is a walking tour, many of the stops are legendary pubs - the favored meeting places for London fandom for many decades. This is a live recording too - about 35 fans from two continents attended the zoom call where this was presented, and the video includes their Q&A." Find it at https://youtu.be/m4ra2QiiZ48  Thanks Rob, for a great tour!

Notable: Fanac.org is resplendent in a new SSL certificate. You'll notice that there's a little locked lock next to the url at the top of the page. If your browser was telling you we were insecure, this should make the nagging go away.

Last weekend's Zoom call - Rob Hansen's virtual tour of Fannish Holborn: I forgot to mention that all the photos that were used in the Zoom call are online in the Fanac Fan Photo album section. If photos went by too quickly for you, you can dwell on them at your leisure at https://fanac.org/Fan_Photo_Album/e05-p00.html. The photos are arranged in the order of the stops on the tour, so you can retrace Rob's steps as you go. If you weren't able to join the call, you can still look forward to the tour. I'm hoping to put the recording up on our YouTube channel  RSN.

Fanzines added:
--CyberCozen, Leybl Botwinik. Added the December 2020 issue. Thanks Leybl!

--Rhodomagnetic Digest, Don Fabun. Added 4 issues: #14-16 (1951), and 22 (edited by Al haLevy, 1962). Rhodomagntic Digest is a core fanzine for us to scan.
--Self-Preservation, Lee Hoffan FAPAzine. This is a new title for us, and we've added 5 issues from the 1960s. FYI, issue 10 is the "Special Legible issue in commemoration of the fact that I bought a new impression roller.)". Scans by Joe Siclari.

PDF Replacements:
--Cry of the Nameless, G.M. Carr, Wally Weber, and F.M. Busby for these issues. We replaced 27 issues: 21 from the early 1950s, and 6 from the early 1960s. Cry is a core fanzine for us to scan. OCR by Joe Siclari.
--Innuendo, Terry Carr. Replaced issue #4 with a searchable PDF. OCR by Joe Siclari.
--Luna, Frank Dietz. Replaced 4 issues: #1-2, and 4-5 from the 1960s with searchable PDFs. OCR by Joe Siclari.
--Spanish Inquisition, Jerry Kaufman and Suzle Tompkins. Replaced all the issues we have with searchable PDFs. Want to egoscan? Now you can do that courtesy of Ctrl-F. We are still missing issues 1 and 2. If you have them, we'd love to get a scan. I did go egoscan for Fanac.org chair, Joe Siclari. I found this from Jerry in #6 - "Vaguely square of shape and slow of speech, Joe is an omnibus collector. No, I take that back. Joe does not collect omnibuses, thank God. He does collect movies, fanzines, sf pulps, film, mystery and sf books, projectors, piano rolls... I expect the walls of our new apartment to be covered with paper (spines neatly out) from wall to shining wall." Joe hasn't changed much. And of course, OCR by Joe Siclari.
--Stellar, Ted White and Larry Stark. Replaced all 10 issues that we have with searchable PDFs. Stellar is a core fanzine for us to scan. OCR by Joe Siclari. Joe's note on Stellar: "Fan fiction (fiction about fans), not amateur science fiction, has appeared in fanzines for many years. I think the best period for this was during the 1950s. From The Enchanted Duplicator to The BNF of Iz and more, we had some marvelous ideas mitered with good writing. For six issues from when it started Stellar carried the epitome. These zines are still worth reading again. Fiction by Brandon White, Stark, Harness, plus Grennell - and that was the first issue. Carr, Ashworth, Shaw and Hoffwoman (as Lee Shaw), plus Calkins, Ellison, Jeeves, Willis and quite a few others. The "Death of Science Fiction" serial may have overshadowed other pieces but there was much good stuff to read, even Mike Hammer (sort of) - and of varied enough styles so that it didn't blend into a mush as so much fan fiction seems to. There were other features as well, reviews, articles. Ted White carried it all in the best looking zine of its time. His color mimeography was superb and the layout utilized modern (for its time) styling. It couldn't last. With the exception of #18 with (Willis and Hammer), the later issues were just standard White fare."

Noteworthy: Today we held the first Fanhistory Zoom session. Rob Hansen gave a virtual tour of Holborn (London) fannish history. Using video, audio and still photos, Rob gave an interesting and entertaining illustrated tour, much of it centered on the pubs which have been the venues for meetings of London fandom. About 35 people were in attendance, and participated with questions and commentary. If you weren't there today, you may get a second chance. We're going to put a recording on the YouTube channel real soon now. We do have another zoom scheduled for January. When we have a date and time settled, I'll announce the details here.

His first issue of Voyage of the SF52 was in February, 1952. Only Lee Hoffman responded back. He did two more issues, dated March and April.

If you read our recent FANAC update, you can skip the next 2 paragraphs. Otherwise, please read on.

Get ready for a trip to fannish London! We are planning a series of Zoom Interactive Fan History Sessions, and for our first session, Rob Hansen is going to give us an historic tour of fannish Holborn, London. Rob is probably the most accomplished fan historian writing these days. As most of you know, he has written the history of English fandom, Then and has put together a number of books covering various aspects of British fandom. Find many of them at https://taff.org.uk/ebooks.php. Reserve the date: Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 11AM EST. Despite the pandemic, Rob has done video recordings around London, and with historic photos and live description will give us a tour that covers some household fannish names and places. He has worked with Edie over the past several months to provide an interesting and fairly detailed coverage of London’s fan heritage. This one hour session is based on tours which Rob has given to individual fans and also developed as a group tour after the last London Worldcon. Even if you have been on one of these tours, you will find some fresh sights and insights. Of course, Rob will be live on Zoom with additional material and to answer questions. Please send your RSVP to fanac@fanac.org, as our Zoom service is limited to 100 participants.

We have created a list of fanzine titles by country of origin. Thanks to Mark Olson’s software, this list will let you sample fanzines from other parts of the world, but don’t be surprised if you find a few familiar names. Fans are slans after all, and not adverse to international relations. You can click on it from the lists of lists at http://fanac.org/fanzines/  or reach it directly http://fanac.org/fanzines/country_listing_of_fanzines.html. The current counts of non-US zines: Australia (26 titles), Canada (15), Ireland (14), United Kingdom (99), and other countries have 3 or less.

And now for the updates -

--Thanks to Bruce Mai for adding the costume name to a masquerade photo for Noreascon 1 (1971), and the participants' names to the Tricon masquerade photo of "Birds".

--Thanks to Leah Zeldes for adding info to a Midwestcon 43 photo, as well as several Detroit Fandom photos. Best of all, she's pointed out a misidentification of a photo from Loncon II (1965) and untiringly worked to figure out who it might be. Leah also pointed out that #3 (Winter 1958) of Jim Caughran's A L'Abandon  had pages out of order. Joe Siclari has now corrected that. Thanks Leah!

--Thanks to the International Costumer's Guild for providing information on several custume photos at Westercon 23 (1970).

--Thanks to Mark Richards for correcting a misidentification in a photo from the 1979 Lunacon.

October 28, 2020 --Horizons, Harry Warner, Jr's FAPAzine. Added 12 issues: #55 (Sum 53), 88 (Fall 61), 100-101 (64-65), 108 (Nov 66), 112 (Fall 67), 123 (Aug 70). 125 (Feb 71), 142 (May 75), 145 (Feb 76), 150 (May 77) and 164 (Feb 81). I'm not real sure about #144. The entry says it's from 1978 although it's in between issues from 1975 and 1976. I'll wait until more issues turn up before figuring out what it really is, although I tend to trust Harry more on which FAPA it is going be distributed in than I do on the Horizons whole number. Scans by Joe Siclari.

--Horizons, Harry Warner Jr's FAPAzine. We've added 10 issues - #28-33, and 39-42 from the late 40s. From Joe Siclari on Harry: "Harry Warner, Jr., was probably the most prolific fan writer of all time. His first genzine, Spaceways, ran for 30 issues. Harry wrote for it but it was his genzine and he featured many of the major fanwriters of that time, and not a lot of his own writing. He started his personal FAPAzine, Horizons, in 1939 and continued it quarterly well into the 21st Century. By issue 200 he had passed 4,300 pages. The last we have online is 243, dated November, 2000. Harry continued to write Horizons after that. He died Feb 17, 2003.

In addition to his own fanzines, Harry was a prolific writer of articles for others, sometimes penning a dozen articles a year during the 1940s and 1950s, slowing down a bit by the mid-60s and later. However, Harry is best known for his letter writing over 60 plus years. It was pretty standard for a fan editor to use “waiting for Harry Warner’s loc” as an excuse to why his fanzine was delayed. Harry said that if a fanzine editor took the effort to send him a fanzine, he should make an effort to write a LoC (letter of comment). He couldn’t respond to every fanzine that he received but he wrote back to more than any other fan, sometimes more than a hundred times a year. And Harry’s letters were not quick notes saying “thanks and good luck”. They were usually tightly spaced, multi-page, thoughtfully written and entertaining little essays. If a zine was so bland that there were no comment hooks, Harry could find an excuse to write in detail about something unrelated, perhaps about bicycles or the latest music album he had heard. I don’t know the full amount of Harry’s fan writing but I’m guessing over 10,000 pages is a conservative estimate.

So far, we have all of Spaceways and over 125 issues of Horizons on FANAC.org, several articles about Harry’s fan work on Fancyclopedia.org, and interviews on out Fan History YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/FanacFanHistory. A search on FANAC.or will find many articles by Harry as well.

The two pubs are 25 years apart, and show considerable evolution (as you'd expect). The first, published 2 years after the incorporation of the group, looks like a typical fanzine of the period.

This is a new title for us. Scans by Joe Siclari.

I've been touting our Begging List and our One-And-Done Begging list (both here under the various Fanzine pages) - fanzines http://fanac.org/fanzines/. We've now updated the more general "What We Want" page. It can be found a few lines below the Begging lists on the same page. If you ever wondered if there was method or madness in our fanzine choices, here's where to find out. Of course, there's a dose of serendipity involved too. If you have material that's on our priority list, please let us know.

Corrections: We inadvertently had Ted White's egoscan  on the list of fanzines where a single scan would complete the run. It's complete, and has been for months thanks to Irwin Hirsh who gave us a scan of issue #1. Thanks again, Iriwn!

Hooray! The first response to our "One and Done" page. Eli Cohen has sent us a scan of issue #1 of Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden's Izzard. That completes the run - thank you Eli! To see the other zines where we need only a single issue, go to http://fanac.org/fanzines/begging_list-need-1.html.

We have stuff. Lots of stuff. I put up a quick page on FANAC by the Numbers -- http://www.fanac.org/FANAC_Inc/fanacnumbers.html. The formatting and the location may change. Whoo!

Finally, we put up the complete 9 issue run of George Willick's Parsection. This ran from 1960-1961. In a rare expository mood, here's what Joe Siclari has to say about it:

"George Willick's Parsection is an under-rated, lesser known example of a typical Midwestern genzine of its period. I don't mean that in a demeaning manner. Vic Ryan's Bane (http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Bane/ ) and the Coulson's Yandro (http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Yandro/ ), are better known titles. Paresection addressed science fiction and fannish subjects with a fairly sercon attitude. Humor and light "fannishness" was not its forte.

Parsection started off focusing on what Willick though was the reigning controversy of the day - whether science fiction magazines had any future. On this subject alone, the fanzine had a fairly hefty array of contributors including H. L Gold, Gordy Dickson, Don Wollheim and others.

Joe Hensley had a series of lightly written columns which often triggered more hefty responses. One column on Claude Degler raised responses from Algis Budrys and Redd Boggs among others.

Overall, Parsection was good enough to attract some interesting contributors, Kate Wilhelm (fiction), Harlan Ellison and Roger Ebert (fanzine reviews) and a stable of well-known letter writers. Of special interest to fan historians is a series of autobiographical pieces from several fans - Buck Coulson, Rosemary Hickey, Sam Lundwall, Harry Warner, Jr., and more."

Additionally, we replaced 13 issues of Richard Geis's SF Review. Almost all of the SFRs are now searchable PDFs.

It's a YouTube day. Link: https://youtu.be/YmCugozN9PU. This recording comes from Boskone 6 in 1969. It's "The Feminine Viewpoint" , moderated by Hal Clement and with Anne McCaffrey, Marion Zimmer Bradley and Larry Niven. From the writeup - "Moderated by Hal Clement, this audio recording (illustrated with dozens of images) is a 1960s view of feminism and the female viewpoint in SF by two of SF's most successful women writers of the day. It is uncomfortable in parts by today's standards, with comments like "you can't be a feminist if you like being a woman", and remarks about fanzines that discount female writers solely because of their sex. Hal Clement is the neutral moderator, and Larry Niven provides a male perspective. This panel is dominated by MZB and Anne McCaffrey, who express their views on women in the field, on the differences in fiction written by woman and men, and on the disadvantages attendant on being a female science fiction writer. Remember, Anne McCaffrey was born in 1926 and MZB in 1930. Their opinions were shaped by the times. It's a fascinating snapshot of the times." Thanks to NESFA and Rick Kovalcik for providing the recording.

!!!! Thanks to the fan history researches of Rob Hansen, we have something wonderful for you today. From within Vince Clarke's papers, Rob has found the final draft of Walt Willis's speech at the 1952 worldcon where he was the recipient of the "WAW with the Crew in '52" fan fund started by Shelby Vick. Here is Joe Siclari's introduction to the speech:

Although Walt Willis was prolific, the quality of his writing remained very high because he was diligent. In several articles, Walt Willis described some of his writing procedures.Despite what so many people thought was his facile and relaxed style, he worried over pieces and rewrote them. See Warhoon 12, p 23 - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Warhoon/Warhoon12-22.html.

Walt’s quality writing was why Shelby Vick created the first really successful campaign to bring a foreign fan to a US Worldcon, "WAW with the Crew in '52". You can imagine the excitement when this was successful. You might also imagine the stress when Walt realized that he would have to speak at the TASFiC/Chicon II.

So it seems he wrote a speech beforehand. Not only did he work on it in advance and rewrite and edit it, but it seems he sent it to at least one friend. During his research into Vince Clarke's papers, Rob Hansen discovered this presentation that you are about to read. It's probably the closest we will get to what Walt Willis said at the TASFiC. As Rob indicated in a note: "What *isn't* included, obviously, is whatever off-the-cuff thanks he added after he'd finished reading." Not seen in close to 70 years, here is what Rob has called: The Harp Speaks.

Yesterday was a YouTube day. We added part 1 of the "Best of ConFederation". From the YouTube blurb: "ConFederation, the 44th World Science Fiction Convention, was held in Atlanta, GA in 1986, with Ray Bradbury and Terry Carr as Guests of Honor. Hosted by Eve Ackerman, this is Part 1 of a "Best of ConFederation" video, and includes candid scenes around the convention, an excerpt of a (very funny) performance on the recent history of SF, a little filk, and a little programming. Best of all are long excerpts from the Guest of Honor speeches. Terry Carr talks about his fannish past, and after that there are 20+ minutes of Ray Bradbury''s captivating Guest of Honor speech. Ray touches on fandom, Ray Harryhausen, John Houston, Epcot Center and more, ending with a stirring affirmation. This is an outstanding talk by Ray Bradbury."

CHANGE NOTIFICATION: We're making the move to a different interface for accessing Worldcon Publications. If you've been paying attention to recent newsletters and flashes, Mark Olson has put together a new, easier-to-love format for Worldcon pubs. All the worldcon pubs are searchable PDFs and you'll also find bidding material, and even ephemera. You can find it all at http://fanac.org/conpubs/Worldcon/. The format and the link for photos and audio stay the same for now, and over the next few days (or maybe weeks) we will migrate completely to the new approach. For a little while, worldcon pubs may be available the old way as well, but one by one those will be cleared out. If you have any worldcon pubs bookmarked, then please be aware that those bookmarks will not be valid for too much longer. All hail Mark Olson, king of the Worldcon pubs! And most seriously, a heartfelt thanks to Mark from a webmaster who really didn't want to start coding again.

Scans here were done by Joe Siclari. This completes the run, and Novae Terrae is a core fanzine for us to scan.

Yesterday was a YouTube day. We have another recording from Boskone 5 (1968). From the YouTube writeup: Larry Niven gives a delightful talk on the effects of teleportation on a society. Five years before his"Flash Crowd" was published, this recording is a grand exposition of what goes on in this author's mind as he works out the impact of new technology. "The limitations you assume for your teleportation are going to define your society." Isaac Asimov (and a number of other audience members) challenge Larry with questions and suggestions. There's even a chalkboard talk (which you can follow from the audio). The program provides a very entertaining and complete logical framework for thinking about the problems and advantages of different implementations of mechanical teleportation, with the eager participation of the engineers in the audience. https://youtu.be/GDRvhBU3oKE

July 18, 2020
PSA: We've had some reports of PDFs that seem to have missing or duplicated pages. Thanks so much for letting us know, but before you drop us a note, please page through slowly. Apparently the Adobe reader can get confused when you're skating through quickly and screw up order, etc. Also, thanks to John Bray, we know that the Google Maps GPS Coordinates extension inside the Brave browser can screw up the index pgaes.

--3 more issues of Leland Sapiro's Riverside Quarterly. This completes the run! Scans provided by Kim Gibbs. Thanks Kim!

Here in Part 2, the stories keep coming (and Bob is an excellent storyteller). Tucker talks about Claude Degler's first appearance in fandom and how Jack Speer (later Judge Speer) got into trouble. There's more about Chicon 1, how he learned about the internet and how fandom has changed in the preceeding 60 years. You'll even hear how Bob ended up joining the N3F after decades in fandom." See it at https://youtu.be/G_BHsu4dmPU  Videography by Tom Veal.

It's a YouTube day. We've put an interview with Bob Tucker from 2000 up on the YouTube channel. From the writeup: "Dick Smith's interview of Bob Tucker was done for Chicon 2000 (with videography by Tom Veal, chair of Chicon 2000!). In this low key conversation, Tucker tells wonderful stories about 60 years of fandom, from Chicon 1 in 1940, to his only stint as convention Artist Guest of Honor, to the origin of the Tucker Hotel, to Claude Degler and more. There's history. There's "smoothing". There are intriguing hints of stories not told. Here's your chance to sit down with a ghiant of fandom, and listen to Dick Smith draw out his stories of our fannish past." https://youtu.be/f27lWc3YW6s

--4 issues of H.T. McAdam's Fantopologist. Poetry, fiction, and topology. How utterly charming, and not recorded in Pavlat-Evans. My last topology class was in 1968, from the topologist immortalized in "Stress Analysis of a Strapless Evening Gown" as L.M.S.F.T. (Lee M. Sonneborn, fine topologist). He was very cool. Scans by Joe Siclari.

I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is on egoboo, but I have to admit that reading the letter column for #103 is still very exciting and encouraging. Scans by Joe Siclari.

I forgot to note the latest YouTube upload here. It's part 2 of the audio tape from IguanaCon on Fans to Pros, with Terry Carr, Richard Lupoff, Ted White, Robert Silverberg and Harlan Ellison. From the YouTube description: "More serious than part 1, this segment talks about becoming a writer, and provides straightforward, candid insights about selling in the field. There's less byplay but lots of good discussion. Note two things - the recording does not go to the end of the panel but stops abruptly (source material ends), and there is a section where members of the audience are speaking and you can't hear them on the recording. Please be patient - the responses from the panel are worth hearing." You can see it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea0yQouMrrU.

First, apologies for failing to credit Terry Carr in the title and description of the last YouTube upload. He was listed in the titles within the piece and this was a pure proof-reading screwup on my part. I fixed it now. YouTube restricts us to 100 characters for the titles, so if you see crappy spacing and shortforms in the titles, that's why.

Second, fanzines:

--13 more issues of Roger Weddall's Australian newszine, Thyme  from the early to mid 80s. We put up issues 19, 23, 25.5, 30, and 32-39. While Thyme has had multiple editors, these issues were all done by Roger. Peter Burns was the interim editor on issues 36-39 (actually through 42). The issues were scanned by Irwin Hirsh. Thanks Irwin!

--8 more issues of the NFFF's Tightbeam. These range from the 1970s to very recent. The numbering went chaotic in the 1970s. There were unnumbered issues, restarted numbering, and apparently an estimate of the number that should have pertained with a consequent move to that scheme. If anyone has the specifics, please let me know and I'll put it in the preamble to the index as well as make sure it gets into Fancyclopedia.org. These are provided by the NFFF, via president George Phillies. Thanks George!

It's a YouTube day (well, yesterday was). Today's upload is an audio recording, enhanced with images, of a very entertaining Fan to Pros panel at Iguanacon (1978). Harlan Ellison and Bob Silverberg along with Dick Lupoff and Ted White, talk about the topic but it's the sidebars that make it really fun. From the writeup: " It's clear that the participants are old friends, with the combination of sharp wit and long familiarity. There are multilingual puns, sincere stories of friends that helped them become professionals, tales of writerly poverty, editorial benevolence and malevolence, and a ready acknowledgement (in detail!) of how fandom helped these writers become professionals in the field. Well worth listening to for both the content and the occasional conversational gymnastics. " https://youtu.be/WhyqRXuCWHE 

June 7, 2020

And it's another YouTube day. Today's entry is a panel from Aussiecon 1 (1975). From the YouTube writeup: "This panel centers on questions to Guest of Honor Ursula Le Guin's on her writing for young adults (or at least classified as for young adults). The panelists, moderated by Fan Guest of Honor Susan Wood, are Ursula herself, Stella Leeds, Peter Nicholls, Anna Shepherd, and Ann Sydhom. The video quality leaves a lot to be desired, but the discussion on Le Guin's process of writing, the panel's views on children's literature, and children's literature as a literary ghetto remain interesting and very pertinent. Remember, this was decades before the phenomena of Harry Potter. Thanks to S.C.I.F.I. for digitizing, and to Elayne Pelz for providing us the footage."

In the table of contents for the issue, the cover art is credited to Bill Watson, whose signature is on the artwork of the cover I sent. Harry Turner's signature is on the one Rob sent. Could there have been another fanzine with the same name?" So, we have Rob's cover on the PDF and here is cover from Burbee's collection for you too. Thank you, Robert.

No new uploads today (at least yet). The Retro Hugo Finalists have now been announced by CoNZealand. In addition to Best Fanzine finalists, there are of course, Best Fan Writer finalists. I'm starting the process of combing through the 1944 fanzines looking for articles by the Best Fan Writer finalists so that you don't have to do that. You can just read them. I'm up to "C is for Centauri" and will eventually get through the entire alphabet. You can find the links at http://fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html. If there are articles I've missed, pls send a note to fanac@fanac.org.

I've been tinkering with the look and feel of the fanzine index pages, and I'm not done yet. As most of you know, this website was started in the 1990s, so there are some pages/user experiences that are old enough to vote. When I get done, I hope the new look is cleaner and easier to use. Once the fanzine index pages are done, then I'll look for more places that need some updating. Comments welcome.

We've had the Goon publications listed in the Irish Fandom  directory, but there are more than a few, so today I've started moving them into their own directory.

It's a YouTube day. I've uploaded a 2013 interview of Bob Madle conducted by Joe Siclari at Philcon. From the writeup on YouTube: "A science fiction reader and fan since the early 1930s, Bob Madle has been a part of the SF field for almost 90 years. He has done it all - he's pubbed his ish, worked on conventions, been a TAFF fan fund winner, a worldcon Fan Guest of Honor, and one of the best known book dealers in science fiction. His encyclopedic command of the field is legendary. Bob is the one that named the Hugos (and he talks here about how the awards came to be). In this 2013 interview by fan historian Joe Siclari, Bob talks about it all, from his first entry into fandom to his experiences across the years." Thanks to Syd Weinstein and Philcon 2013 for the recording. https://youtu.be/VP46MzqT67M 

I do believe I failed to note another YouTube upload from last week. This is our earliest recording so far - from the 1960 worldcon, Pittcon. It's an audio recording of James Blish giving his Guest of Honor speech, now decorated with appropriate images. From the writeup: "Pittcon, the 18th World Science Fiction Convention, was held in Pittsburgh, PA in 1960. By permission of the Blish family, we have an almost complete audio recording of James Blish's Guest of Honor Speech. This is a thoughtful, not always complimentary look at the state of contemporary science fiction literature, where it falls short and where it can improve. Very much worth listening to, this short recording (enhanced with images) is just what you'd hope to hear from William Atheling, Jr , Blish's serious and constructive critical pseudonym." https://youtu.be/zKFowEqJ6QM 

For YouTube, I'm starting to put together playlists by decade. If you want to see what we have on the Fanac Fan History YouTube channel, you'll be able to just pull up the appropriate playlist. To find the channel, you can go to YouTube and search on "Fanac Fanhistory" or you can just go to youtube.com/c/FanacFanhistory .

It's a YouTube day. In case you missed it, this video (which has been available through the Philcon site) was created during the Guest of Honor interview of Dave Kyle at Philcon 2012. He's interviewed by Joe Siclari, who's looking very spiffy in his tuxedo, and who is eminently qualified to make sure Dave tells the important stories. We narrowly missed getting this on YouTube for what would have been Dave's 101 birthday (Feb 14). From the writeup - "Dave Kyle was an enthusiastic and productive science fiction fan and professional, with an 80+ year tenure. In this 2012 interview conducted at Philcon 2012, Dave talks about how fandom started, the first worldcon, fandom in the 1930s (and 40s and 50s and ...), the Science Fiction League, decades of controversies, Gnome Press, chairing his Worldcon and much, much more. ...Thanks to Philcon 2012 and Syd Weinstein for providing the video." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dbu50Nrx94w

I've been putting up a lot of fanzines lately, so for today, back to photos. Thanks to the cameras of TR Renner, Andrew Porter and David Ritter, we have some photos of this year's Boskone - Boskone 57. You can see them at http://fanac.org/Other_Cons/Boskone/b57-p00.html  .

Did put up issues 1-9, 11 and 13 of Richard E. Geis - Personal Journal. These are from 1975-1978. Scan by Joe Siclari. Two issues had mistakenly been up under the SF Review index, misidentified by me (not Joe) as Richard E. Geis. Those have been moved to the proper index now. Mea Culpa.

Since that was insufficiently confusing, we've added two issues of Richard E. Geis from 1972. These are in the index with SF Review. We've also added issue 39 of SF Review from August 1970. Scans by Joe Siclari.

As the zines from the Boskone 2020 scanning station start trickling online, I'd like to mention that Murray Moore was a superstar providing substantial numbers of fanzines for the scanning. He has helped fill-in a number of runs, and provided some great stuff. Thank you Murray! The other superstar of the weekend was Geri Sullivan who also brought in a large batch of choice materials for the scanning. Thanks Geri! Thanks to all who brought fanzines to the convention for us. Watch this space to see them all going online. Today's uploads:

Pavlat-Evans does not mention that the issue is misnumbered on the cover. If anyone can scan the correct cover and inside front cover, we will fix the issue. Scan provided by Rob Hansen. Thanks Rob!

Last but not least, it's a YouTube day. We have a charming audio recording from Boskone 5 (1968) of Isaac Asimov holding forth for more than an hour. It's decorated with photos of people in the room, photos of Isaac, and book and magazine covers. I hope that those that never had a chance to meet Isaac get a sense of how it might have been. From the Youtube writeup: "...Isaac Asimov spends an hour talking about everything and anything. He is speaking to his extended family - a roomful of science fiction fans. Isaac speaks with great good humor about his writing (both science fiction and science fact), ribs his fellow writers, especially Lester Del Rey and others who were in the room, and tells stories about Harlan Ellison and John W. Campbell. He is charming and arrogant, explaining his view of women, why he doesn't write for TV, his experiences on late night TV and more. This is an opportunity to get to know one of science fiction's greats as his contemporaries did. Thanks to the New England Science Fiction Society (NESFA) and Rick Kovalcik for providing the recording." You can find it at https://youtu.be/OAxlrdkY1oQ

If you've been following along, you know that we have had more than our fair share of migrations in the last 13 months. First, we moved to a new hosting company (and there are still a few truly irritating AF bugs left in that migration). Second, Mark Olson and John Bray migrated Fancyclopedia.org  to a new technology. That move was very painful and took a long time. They are, however, victorious and you can see it in all its new glory at the aforementioned Fancyclopedia.org. Welcome now to the next migration. The code that generates Fanac.org is a marvel of persistence and dedication. It was written over the course of 25 years by our late, lamented first webmaster - Jack Weaver. Embedded in the code are artifacts of the last 30 years of evolution of the internet. There is code from defunct publishers. There is code only maintained by a cabal of aging enthusiasts, none of whom were born after the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower. There are surprises galore. Still. Today, we migrate to Windows 10 and a new laptop. I put the migration off as long as possible (figuring I might make it to Windows 11 or 12 or 13), but the old system found an engaging new way to fail - presenting me with command menus on every (increasingly) frustrated keystroke. It's time.

It is likely to be a little slow in the fanzine uploading department for a few days. So far, so good though. There are problems still to be overcome. However, I present to you the first fanzines uploaded post-this-migration:
--Habakkuk  edited by Bill Donaho, issue V3#4. Provided by Murray Moore and scanned at Boskone 2020! This completes the run for us. Thanks Murray!
--Idea, edited by Geri Sullivan, issues 5 & 6 from 1992. Includes articles by Linda Bushyager, Stu Shiffman, and James White among others. This completes the run for us. Provided by Geri Sullivan and scanned at Boskone 2020! Thank you Geri.
--Mota, edited by Terry Hughes, issues 4 & 6 from 1992. Provided by Murray Moore and scanned at Boskone 2020! Includes articles by Lee Hoffman, Grant Canfield, and Ray Nelson among others.

--Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #467 (3.4 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

--We have added the latest issue of the Mt. Holz Science Fiction Society's newsletter The MT Void, MT Void Vol. 38, No. 33, that was sent to us by Mark and Evelyn Leeper. Thank you both
--Personal Notes, edited by Richard Harter, issues 1 and 2 from 1973-1974. This completes the run for us. Provided by Murray Moore and scanned at Boskone 2020!

Thanks to Dave Langford for bringing some navigation screwups to my attention. I think they're fixed now.

February 11, 2020
More fanzines today (but I am working on a YouTube piece):

Today in Fanac.org-

--12 more issues of the Birmingham Science Fiction Group Newsletter. These are edited by by Carol Goodwin. Today's issues are from 2015. Thanks to Carol Goodwin for scanning them, and to John Bray for providing them to Fanac.

--1 more issue of Larry Shaw's McSnoyd's Bulletin. Issue 2, January 1945.

--1 more issue of The Scarr, edited by George Charters. Issue 15 (marked as issue 120) from May, 1967. I have no idea why his numbering became so unique. Whole number 11 was marked as 102, 12 was marked as 110, and so on until 15 became 120.

--4 more issues of SFSFS Shuttle, the clubzine of the South Florida Science Fiction Society. Editors for 3 of the issues are Joe Siclari and Edie Stern, and the 4th was edited by Carol Porter. These are issues 100, 115, 130 and 132. The 100th issue has some fun stuff including Joe Green's first published "story" (his quotes, not mine), a reprint of a short-short by Charles Fontenay, a short-short by Lee Hoffman (which I believe was never published elsewhere), one by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and a personal favorite of mine, a poem by Nancy Atherton entitled "Ode to Joe, Fan". Full disclosure: I co-edited the 100th issue. Also some LeeH cartoons.

--17 publications from Dick Geis. There are 13 issues of SF Review, from the early 80s, provided and scanned by Jim Harris. These are issues 43-45, 48, 53-61. We also have 4 issues of SF Review from the 1969-70 scanned by Joe Siclari. These are issues 34-35, 38 and a short 43. Note that the fanzines scanned earlier have random keystrokes for metadata, so the tab on the top of your screen looks kind of funny. We'll get that fixed, but I thought that it was better to get the issues up as is rather than wait until they were perfect.

--10 issues of Vector, the Critical Journal of the British Science Fiction Association. These are issues: 108-115 and 124-125. The issues from 108-115 Geoff Rippington, and 123-125 by Paul Kincaid. These are from from the early to mid 1980s. Vector is a core fanzine for us to scan. Thanks to Allen Stroud, Alex Bardy and Polina Levontin and the BSFA for their scans.

"Today, in support of the Retro Hugos project for CoNZealand, we've added an alphabetical list of 1944 fanzines. It is the largest list of 1944 fanzines that we could compile. We have linked, both from our site and others, all the zines we can find to give you the ability to read what was going on in 1944. We will link to additional zines as we find them, and are also still scanning more ourselves. If you know of appropriate materials not on the list, please let us know. We hope this will give you some ability to judge the 1944 materials first hand. Much of it may not seem of significant quality to us today, but it gives context and the ability to compare the writers and editors of 1944, rather than just relying on their later reputations."...Joe Siclari http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos1944.html

We've had fabulous contributions from all around the world to this archive. To shamelessly beg for more, we've put up a list of the zines we'd most like to scan here: http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/desired_fanzine_list_to_scan.html  . If you have any of these, we'd love to get them online. Thanks!

I've updated the core list of fanzines to scan that we have prioritized. The titles haven't changed much since November (if any), but there's progress on many of them. You'll find it at: http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/core_fanzine_list_to_scan.pdf 

We had erroneous information on the OMPAzine The Wall. Thanks to Rob Hansen, it's been corrected. Thanks Rob!

Harry was Fan Guest of Honor at Noreascon 1, a prolific fanzine editor, and the most prodigious letterhack in fandom. This interview is a rare opportunity to hear from him face-to-face.

In this interview, Harry talks about his entry into fandom, his thoughts on conventions, Spaceways and FAPA, the "Odd Tales Hoax", his experiences as a classical musician and more. He talks about the special appeal that fandom had for him." Part 1: https://youtu.be/s-Rs7S_S4dw  and Part 2 at https://youtu.be/Slk56cwSC5A

Two of them were scanned by Joe Siclari - issues 29 and 52. Thanks to Allen Stroud, Alex Bardy and Polina Levontin and the BSFA for their scans. Vector published material by many well known fans and writers - John Brunner, Christopher Priest, Ken Slater, Brian Aldiss, Malcolm Edwards, Terry Jeeves, etc. Very cool stuff.

Also today, we replaced 13 more issues of SF Commentary  with searchable PDFs. OCR by Mark Olson.

November 23, 2019
61 items today (63 if you count the TAFF Ballots). We also replaced Norm Metcalf's New Frontiers, issue 4, with a searchable PDF.

Let's start with TAFF. We're scanning the trip reports and placing them (slowly) in the new TAFF directory - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/TAFF/. Today's additions: TAFF ballots from 1956 and 1969, Eric Bentcliffe's "TAFF Reporter 1", and Eric's 1961 TAFF Report - "Epi-TAFF". Scans by Joe Siclari.

--24 issues: Birmingham Science Fiction Group News, various editors. We've added issues 111-113, 117-122, 124-127, and 149-160. Scans by Carol Goodwin, and provided by John Bray. Thanks to the BSFG for these!

--7 issues: Degler!, Andrew Porter, issues 172-178. Scans by Mark Olson.

--2 issues: Flatbush Artery, Fred Pohl, 1938. These are not SF zines, but are publications for the Young Communist League. It is edited by a fan, Fred Pohl, and has articles by fans, John Michel and Helen Glaser. These zines answer any question people may have about whether Pohl had any Communist leanings. "In a 1989 conversation I had with him, Milt Rothman still blamed his association with Pohl for his inabilty to clear security regulations for working in nuclear research in the 1940s"- Joe Siclari. Scanned and provided by Alistair Durie.

--3 issues: Proper Boskonian, issues 34 and 37, edited by Ken Knabbe and issue 44 edited by Lisa Hertel. Scans by Joe Siclari.

There are also issues of "SF Viewsletter" edited by George Heap. These are marked "in the interest of the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society". Those are dated May, June, Sept, and October 1960. Scans by Joe Siclari.

--3 issues: Vector, the Offical Journal of the British Science Fiction Association. Thanks to Allen Stroud, Alex Bardy and Polina Levontin. Today we added issues 22, 38, and 39. Scans provided by BSFA.

November 22, 2019
I received a question from Justin Busch about the last lines of the last few pages of the fanzine Australian Fan News. Justin wanted to know if there was any way to improve the legibility. From Kim Huett who scanned the zines: "I totally forgot to mention that the bottom line on each page of this fanzine is unintelligible. My best guess is that whoever typed the original pages went just a little too far down the stencil. Probably because the editor was unfamiliar with the machine it was printed on...A further thought. I'm pretty sure Bill Veney didn't own a printer and so had to the flatbed machine owned by either Bill Castellari
or Vol Molesworth (jds). In which case it's quite likely he didn't know how much of the stencil he could use. Fanzine production was a bit complicated in Australia during the 40s it has to be said." Now you know.

Today we added 37 fanzines(!).

--2 collections/anthologies. First, Quo Davis, a festschrift to honor Hank Davis on his 30th birthday edited by Moshe Feder (1972). Second, 14 Bob the Bushel, a collection of Bob Shaw's "Glass Bushel" columns by Bruce Pelz (1995). You can find them at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Fanthologies/. Hint: 14 is spelled out and the list is alphabetical.

--17 issues of the Birmingham Science Fiction Group Newsletter. Thanks to the good offices of John Bray and the scanning of Carol Goodwin, we have a goodly number of these to put up. There will be more coming. Pete Weston was the editor of the first newsletter.

--2 issues of Mainstream, edited by Jerry Kaufman and Suzle Tompkins. Jerry kindly scanned issues 1 and 2 for us, completing the run.

--12 issues of Norstrilian News, mostly edited by John Foyster, with one by Leigh Edmonds. We've added issues 1 and 6-15 incl 10A all from 1970. Scanning by Mark Olson.

--2 issues of The Phantagraph, edited by Don Wollheim. Issues 36 and v13, num 4 from the 1940s. By volume 13, DAW had stopped putting whole numbers on the zine. Scans provided by Alistair Durie. Thanks Alistair!

--2 issues of South of the Moon, edited by Tim Marion and David Ortman. We've added issues 10 and 10s (a supplement) from 1975.

November 20, 2019
A nice count of 33 new zines for you today, ranging in publication date from 1936 to 2019, an 83 year span.

--2: Arcturus, edited by Harold W. Kirshenblit, issues 2 and 3 from Jan/Feb 1936, provided and scanned by Alastair Durie. Thanks Alastair!

November 18, 2019
Today's haul in 4 parts:

From Kim Huett, we have a batch of interesting Australian Newszines.
--Australian Fan News, by Bill Veney. As far as I know, this is the only issue. Bill Veney chaired the first Australian Science Fiction convention in Sydney in 1952. Scanned and provided by Kim Huett.
--Science and Fantasy Fan Reporter, various editors. We have 13 more issues today, from 13-25. Note that Pavlat-Evans only lists them up through 15, so here you go. Thanks Kim!

From Joe Siclari's fanzine scanning, we have an issue of John D. Berry's Foolscap, issue 13 from 1978. Note that he used a piece of art that was not new, and so the cover says "Foolscap 7". It fooled us, and the title metadata lists the wrong issue. It's on our list to fix.

--Also from Joe Siclari's scanning, the 1955 edition of Tucker's Neo-Fans Guide. Fandom explained in 10 pages.

The 3rd part of the additions today: another 24 photos from the collection of Howard DeVore. You can see them at http://fanac.org/Fan_Photo_Album/v01-p00.html  Scans by Joe Siclari.

The 4th part is an addition from a regular contributor. George Phillies sent us a PDF of November 2019's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

November 17, 2019
Today's haul has 24 fanzines from Australia, Northern Ireland, England and the US.

--Starting with the fanthologies, we have 2. There's "Curt Phillips for TAFF!" from Randy Byers and Claire Brialey (2014), and the "Best of Entmoot", from Greg Shaw (1970). You'll find them in the Fanthologies index at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Fanthologies/  . Scans by Joe Siclari.
--The Scarr, George Charters, issue 111 aka issue 13, November 66. "The Scarr" is of course an anagram of "Charters". This was done for OMPA 50. Scan by Joe Siclari.
--Science and Fantasy Fan Reporter, from Eric F. Russell, Colin Roden, Graham Stone and Vol Molesworth. We add this newszine title and 12 issues from 1941, Australia. These were scanned and provided by Kim Huett. Thanks Kim!
--Science Fantasy News, Vince Clarke, issues 7, 8 and 11 from 1951-52. This continues the newszine theme and brings it to England. Scans by Joe Siclari.

--Waldo  from Eric Bentcliffe, issue 2. Scan by Joe Siclari.

November 16, 2019
It's a YouTube day today. I've uploaded the Harlan Ellison Memorial panel that was held at Worldcon 76. From the YouTube description: "This Memoriam panel (audio, with pictures) features memories and anecdotes from Tom Whitmore, Robert Silverberg (who was a friend of Harlan's for 65 years), Chris Barkley, David Gerrold, Christine Valada and Nat Segaloff (Harlan's biographer). Each of the panelists had a close relationship with Harlan, and these loving but clear-eyed reminiscences are a comfort to those that miss him, and hopefully to those readers who never had a chance to meet him. Harlan was an enormous presence in science fiction. His stories, his scripts, his kindnesses and his sometimes unbelievable missteps will be long remembered. Recording provided by Karen G. Anderson and Richard Lynch." It was all I could do to not add my own Harlan stories to the description. My favorite memory may be watching Harlan try to convince my then 5 year old that violence was wrong, and that he should not watch Godzilla movies. https://youtu.be/na3dLxm0AYE 

In the world of written material, we've added a few things to the site (scans by Joe Siclari).

First, a searchable PDF version of the magnificent John Bristol (aka Jack Speer) effort Fancyclopedia 1  in our reference section. More reference materials here: http://www.fanac.org/Fannish_Reference_Works/ 

For the newsminded, SF Parade, issues 3 and 5 from 56-57, a special Walt Willis one-shot from 57 and a 1962 issue edited by Stan Woolston.

November 15, 2019
It's been a few days since I did a 'What's New' entry, but I have been putting up a few things.

First, thanks to Bruce Mai and Filthy Pierre for their photo corrections. I've got some of them up, and am working on the rest. Thanks guys!

Secondly, if you're on our mailing list, you received a Flash Update from Joe Siclari. Thanks to a suggestion we received after the last newsletter, we're using Mailchimp to distribute future communications. If you didn't get one and you'd like to be on our mailing list, let me know at fanac@fanac.org . If you believe you're on our mailing list already but didn't get the Flash, then please let me know that also. We had some email bounces and I may have misread your email address from one of our signup sheets at a convention somewhere.

Ok onward. If I've added correctly, we have 35 items added to the archive for this edition of 'what's new'.
--Idea, Geri Sullivan, issue 4, February 1992. Scan by Joe Siclari.
--ISFA Newsletter, edited by Richard Gallagher. We added the first 8 issues (from 1976-77). These were provided by Philippa Ryder and scanned at Dublin 2019.

--Science Fiction Review, Richard E. Geis, issues 14, 16, 19-20, 23, 26, and 36-38. These were scanned and provided to us by Jim Harris. There's something a little screwy with the title metadata on these. When you look up at the title tab, you'll see nonsense letters. We'll fix that, but for now the fanzines are up as is. Thanks Jim!
--Scottishe, Ethel Lindsay, issues 63-64 from 1972. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Sky Hook, Redd Boggs, issue 2, May 1948. On page 4, "FAN MEETS AUTHOR: The talk at the post-meeting session of MFS members had got around to the subject of mutants. Someone said reflectively, "There was a good story in Astounding some time ago about a mutant -- a kid and his dog... What was the name of it?" Poul Anderson blinked a few times, then ascertaining that the otner was not kidding, remarked, "It was called 'Logic'. I wrote it. " Scan by Joe Siclari.

--Musicals. We've added the script and a glossary for the Dublin 2019 production of "The Enchanted Duplicator - The Musical", written and updated by Irwin "Filthy Pierre" Strauss, who provided the material to us. Thanks Filthy!

Also, for those that are interested, I've updated our progress on the list of core fanzines to scan. You can find it here - http://fanac.org/fanzines/core_fanzine_list_to_scan.pdf 

November 11, 2019
More fanzines today. If you received the last newsletter, we pointed you to our list of fanzines that are high priority for us to scan. I'll try to indicate which ones are "core" as I report on what we've put on line. The list can be found at: http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/core_fanzine_list_to_scan.pdf 

Today, all the uploads are core. We have 16 newly uploaded issues:

Also, we've replaced the 4 PDF listing of Joe Siclari's Fanzine Archive colllection with a single bigass PDF. It says A-E on the first page, but ignore that. It's the whole collection. Easier to search, easier to deal with. Thanks Joe. Oh yes, you can find it at: http://www.fanac.org/Fannish_Reference_Works/Bibliographies/FanzineArchive/fanzine_archive.pdf

If anyone out there has contributed time, material, scanning, articles for Fancy 3, etc. and is NOT on that list, please let me know. Send a note to fanac@fanac.org and I'll put your name on it. I know we're missing a number of names.
--Outworlds, Bill Bowers, issues 8.5 and 8.75 from 1972. I know, a quarter point issue is a bit strange. Warning: issue 8.5 is marked as a "supplement for consenting adults". Issue 8.75 is a lettercol. Scans by Joe Siclari.

November 4, 2019
We've started a new fan photo album for Howard DeVore's collection. When photos are identified as having been taken at a convention, generally we put them on the convention page. For the non-convention photos from Howard's collection, we have this album at http://fanac.org/Fan_Photo_Album/v01-p00.html. There are some rarely seen fans pictured like Raymond Washington (he of the Cosmic Circle), along with old friends like Pat and Roger Sims, and folks we would have liked to know like Doc Smith. Thanks to Karol DeVore Sissom and Mark Hickman for getting these to Joe Siclari for scanning.

There are two new titles in the fanzine department. Curiously, they both end in an exclamation point, although one is in quotes.
--Sound Off!, Joseph Gilbert, 1941. We have the complete run of 3 issues thanks to Bob Hurter. These were scanned from the collection of Fred Hurter.
--The 'Pseudo-Futurian!', J. Michael Rosenblum, all 4 issues from 1940. The 'Pseudo-Futurian!' then combined with Science Fantasy Review's War Digest to become the Futurian War Digest. Three of these issues were provided by Rob Hansen, and Joe Siclari supplied the last, completing the run.

Updates for the last few days include 11 more FAPA 29  zines, a script for a science fiction musical, and another 6 fanzines. We have received a number of scans from Bob Hurter, son of Canadian fan Fred Hurter (who edited "Censored"). We're running them through the OCR process and will start putting them up shortly. Thanks very much to Bob Hurter for helping us to preserve this material.

Today we have a new MT Void, providing me my eye-roll moment of the day. Thanks to Mark and Evelyn Leeper, we get new issues regularly, and I have a software routine that accepts them and readies them for posting on Fanac.org. However, today's issue started with a section by Mark asking folks to stop using the word "million" in emails to him, so he could filter out all the spam that offered to make him rich. My software decided that this MT Void, which quoted a number of such emails, was itself spam and refused to process it. Thanks to the magic of manual processing, the new issue is up, but that was an unexpected consequence of this particular fannish diatribe. You can read it at: http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/MT_Void/MT_Void-3816.html

Andy Hooper sent us a musical treasure. It's a scan of the script for The Purple Pastures, performed at the 1960 Pittcon, written by Terry Carr/Carl Brandon in 1958, and adapted for presentation by LASFS in 1960. This was produced jointly by LASFS-CHIAC for the 1960 Pittcon, and performed on September 4, 1960. Thanks Andy! BTW, I didn't know what "CHIAC" was so I looked it up in Fancyclopedia.org - http://fancyclopedia.org/chiac 

We've also posted the August 2019 Fanac.org update online, finally. It was sent from a Dublin hotel room before worldcon, and managed to evade online publication. If you missed it, you can read it here - http://www.fanac.org/FANAC_Inc/update081419.pdf 

5 other fanzines added (all scanned by Joe Siclari):

-- Richard E. Geis, issues 1, 2, 1975, along with Geis Letter 48 from 1998. These are listed on a common index page for all of the Geis pubs, so if it looks funny, just keep scrolling down till you see what you're looking for.

October 16, 2019
27 zines added today.

First, we finished uploading FAPA 28. There were 2 last Cosmic Circle Publications to add - a membership report, and what appears to be yet another version of Cosmic Circle Monthly. Now onward to FAPA 29, already in progress. You can find all the Cosmic Circle pubs listed at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Cosmic_Circle_Pubs/ 

The oldest zine of the day was scanned and provided by David Ritter. It's the first annual edition of Tesseract, from May, 1939, edited by C. Hamilton Bloomer. Thanks David!

We've also added the complete 13 issue run of Outlander. This was the Official Organ of the Outlander Society in Southern California and had a different editor for every issue.

There's also 2 pages of bibliographic notes included. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Next up, Focal Point. We've added 9 issues: Volume 2, #1, 3, 4, 10, and 12-16, all edited by Arnie Katz and rich brown. These are all from 1970. Focal Point was "a fanzine of news, views and reviews". Scanning by Mark Olson.

October 14, 2019
Eight fanzines and some ephemera for today. In no particular order-

--Mikros, T. Bruce Yerke, issues 5 and 6 from 1939. The first 4 issues all had different titles. We have one of those that will be going up soon, but for now, ssues 5 and 6. Scan by Joe Siclari.
--South of the Moon, various editors. Issue 11, scanned by Joe Siclari. Issue 19, scanned by Mark Olson. We're adding a column on many of the index pages indicating who provided the zine or did the scanning. Everyone should have their egoboo, and that way the notes column is saved for more pertinent notes.
--Luna Pono, Fred Warth, issue 4, July 1944. It seems a very sincere fanzine. Scan by Joe Siclari.
--Spasmodic, Eric Jones, 1957-1958. We have both of issues of Spasmodic here. These will help complete your understanding of the mysteries of Saint Fantony. Scan by Joe Siclari.
--Miscellaneous TAFF documents. These are from the 50s and 60s, and include ballots, progress reports and statements of support. We'll be putting up more such as we go.

October 12, 2019
Since our world runs on egoboo, that's the order in which today's uploads are presented. First, because I can, here is a LOC on the website which was very heartening. From Steven Johnson: "Incredible volume of top rate fanzines added to the site in the past few > months...endless hours of reading pleasure and memories of times past. Today I've enjoyed Innuendo for the first time and rereading that last issue of Lighthouse first encountered when published. Thank you!"

One of our regular contributors, Lebyl Botwinik sent us the September issue of his CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl!

Also, we added the latest issue of the Mt. Holz Science Fiction Society's newsletter The MT Void, MT Void Vol. 38, No. 15, sent to us by Mark and Evelyn Leeper. Thanks guys!

Next, from the scanning of Mark Olson.
--Alien Critic 9, Richard Geis, May 1974,

--Prehensile, Mike Glyer, issues 10, 11, 12, and 13.5. Too much art to list.

From the scanning of Joe Siclari.

Today's fanzine total - 18

October 11, 2019
Added 27 zines today, and replaced 2 others with searchable PDFs. One of the replaced ones was John D. Berry's Hitchhike 28. Scanning today by Joe Siclari unless otherwise ntoed.
--Damn Thing, T. Bruce Yerke, issues 2 and 4 from 1940-1941. We had The Damn Denventioneer Thing #4, but that's very different from the regular issues. For one, the regular Damn Thing is about 18 pages longer. With Rob having given us several interesting Yerke fanzines, Joe was very pleased to turn up a few more to add to the site.
--Double Bill, Bill Bowers and Bill Mallardi. We added issues 14, 16, a rider on 16 and issue 17. There's material here by Lloyd Biggle, Buck Coulson, Harry Warner Jr., Dan Adkins, George Barr, Terry Jeeves and Mae Strelkov.
--Duplicating Without Tears!, a symposium edited by Vince Clarke on fannish reproduction. This is from 1956, and was provided by Rob Hansen. One day I'll have to put up a "How To" section for material like this.
--Gambit 48, Ted White and Les Gerber, 1963. This is the 10th annish, and is combined with Minac 4 (a special Discoon Issue).
--Lowdown, Richard Labonte, issues 2-3, 1968-1971. This was the first publication of the Montreal in 1974 bidding committee.
--Mainstream, Jerry Kaufman and Suzle Tompkins. We have a wealth of Mainstreams here, issues 7-17, and they cover 1982 to 1998. Stu Shiffman, Jeanne Gomoll, Alexis Gilliland, Dan Steffan, Craig Smith, Andy Hooper, Art Widner, Brad Foster and of course Jerry and Suzle. Good stuff.
--Minac, Les Gerber and Ted White, issues 5 and 6, along with a hoaxzine by Bill Blackbeard and Redd Boggs.
--Pamphrey, Walt Willis. Added issues 1, 2 and 5. Replaced issue 7 with a searchable PDF.

--Lastly for tonight, Songs from Space, Eric Bentcliffe, 1957. This is a book of science fiction songs, set in a skiffy fictional frame. I've put it up in the musical section, although I don't know that it was performed as a musical. Provided by Rob Hansen.

October 10, 2019
Since the last update, we've put up a variety of (hopefully) items of interest. There's more FAPA28, including 3 pieces of Cosmic Circle history}, there are UK zines provided by Rob Hansen, there are important US zines, and there's a script/playbill for a musical (thanks to Linda Deneroff}.

First, here are some 1940s zines from Rob Hansen

-- , a Dirty Word, Damon Knight, May 46. You can find this at http://fanac.org/fanzines/Dirty_Word/Dirty_Word2.pdf. This zine has no name. The publishing colophon has a few blanks followed by ", a Dirty Word". Mark Olson, writing the Fancyclopedia entry for it has opined that Mr. Knight was too clever by far in his title so we are listing it under Dirty Word, A
--The Bedside Fassbeinder, T. Bruce Yerke, oneshot, Nov 44. A volume of words from Carlton Fassbeinder (one of Yerke's pennames).
--Damn Thin, T. Bruce Yerke, 1942. An unfinished Damn Thing.
--Fan Dance 1, C.S. Youd, August 1941.
--The Gentlest Art, Douglas Webster, issues 1, 3-4. These were part of FIDO.
--Hellzapoppin, Douglas Webster 1941. Also part of FIDO.

The remaining zines were scanned by Joe Siclari.

Next, the FAPA28  zines. Almost done with this mailing; there are just two more to go. If you look at the Retro Hugo materials for next year (http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html ), you'll find these are being added as we go since the mailing was in 1944. Links for these are found in FAPA28 

--Troy, Helen Bradleigh, March 44 -- Cosmic Circle

--Jupiter (Ronald Maddox) and Cosmian World (Rex Matthews), Spring 44, Cosmic Circle

--National Futurian Weekly 22 (Degler); Cosmic Circle

--Memoirs of a Superfluous Fan, Yerke, has been replaced with a searchable PDF

If you want to read more of the Cosmic Circle, we have gathered the original materials we have here - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Cosmic_Circle_Pubs/ 

Ok, now for more recent fanzines.
--Psychotic 3, Richard Geis, September 1953. The real Psychotic 3 this time! You guys keep us honest.
--Mainstream, Jerry Kaufman and Suzle Tompkins, issues 3-6 from 1978-1981. Mainstream was nominated for Best Fanzine in 1991. These are the first of the title we've put up.
--Proper Boskonian, issue 33 from Ken Knabbe (Dec 94), and issues 41-42 from Lisa Hertel.
--unterHelios, issue 1, Joe Siclari, July 1971. Joe is the chairman of the Fan History project and Fanac.org. Ever get a fanzine from him? Here's your opportunity to see what the callow youth of 21 (almost 22) produced. Send your LOCs to fanac@fanac.org. I'll pass them on.

And finally, from Linda Deneroff, the script and playbill of the first Lunacon musical performed in 1980. Based on "1776", this production is entitled "1986". We've put up the script (book by Richard Kolker, lyrics by Richard Kolker, Patrick Daniel O'Neill, Jill Wilkins, and John Kingsbridge) and the Playbill. Soon we'll be adding the permission letters from the authors whose names were taken in vain. Thanks to Linda for keeping all the letters, and the rest. Watch this space - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Musicals/ 

That's 20 zines today, and one musical.

October 7, 2019
Today's most notable PDF replacement is for Dave Kyle's notorious pamphlet from the first worldcon. You can find it here - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Dave_Kyle/Dave_Kyle03.pdf  Amazing that for all the fuss it caused, it was only 5 pages.

Continuing to work on FAPA28, today we've added 7 to the TOC (well 6 if you don't count the PDF that replaces the JPGs)

-- Emergeny Flare, Dik Daniels

-- Futuria 2, Elsie Wollheim. There were only two, and this is the last issue, but it's marked "The Official Organ of the Futurian Society of New York".
--Futurian Advance 3, Helen Bradleigh. Cosmic Circle
--History of the Future Cards. Not sure who these were from, but they are very cool. For various years in the future (the future of FAPA28 that is), "facts" are extracted from science fiction stories and replicated here. For example, for 1960, "Peace, ending the long war from 1940 to 1960; worldwide, participants unknown. Eye of the Past, Eando Binder, Astounding, March, 1938" Check it out.
--Investigation in Newcastle, Jack Speer. This is another of Jack's articles on Cosmic Circle.

-- Intelligence Quotient 2, Doro aka Don Rogers aka Degler. This was already up as JPGs, and is now replaced as a searchable PDF. More Cosmic Circle, of course.
--Venus-Con, Francis T. Laney and Mel Brown. Not Cosmic Circle!

In addition to the FAPAzines we've added the complete 5 issue run of Tappen, by Malcolm Edwards. This ran from 1981 to 1982. Contributors include Peter Nicholls, Dave Langford, D. West, and Chris Atkinson.

You'll also find 2 more issues of Erg  (Terry Jeeves) from the early 60s. Look for issues 11 and 18.

There's also our first upload of an issue of Mike Glyer's Prehensile, May 1973. By issue 9, he was already up to 78 pages. One of the articles is titled "Dark Alleys of Fanhistory" by Dan Goodman. Hmmmm....

George Phillies sent us issue 301 of Tightbeam, edited by George Phillies and Jon Swartz.

Finally, for the newszine enthusiasts, we have 2 more issues of Son of the WSFA Journal, Don Miller. These are issues 69 and 192.

That's 17 new fanzines, and all but one were scanned by Joe Siclari.

October 5, 2019
Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #457 (5.8 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

Additionally, we added 4 issues of John Berry's Pot Pourri. Issues added: 35, 44, 51 and 52. Also, we replaced 42 with a searchable PDF.

For the newszine junkie, we have 9 issues added of Ron Bennett's Skyrack  from the 60s an early 70s. We replaced issues 36 and 40 with pdfs, and added issues 38, 42, 56, 58-59, 62-64, and 96. We also added some issues of Skyrack Trader, mostly a catalog that Ron sent out in the 70s. You'll find 6 issues of that - 96 and 99 (which came first, around the same time as Skyrack 96), and then issues 5-8. Fans are infinitely creative. All of the above were scanned by Joe Siclari.

Next, from Rob Hansen, we have a scan of an issue of C.S. Youd's Fantasy War Bulletin, from 1941. I believe this is the last issue. The first piece starts with the Blitz. Thanks Rob!

Plus, we have added the latest issue of the Mt. Holz Science Fiction Society's newsletter The MT Void, MT Void Vol. 38, No. 14, sent to us by Mark and Evelyn Leeper. Thank you both.

Finally, it's a YouTube day. Actually it's a musical YouTube day. From the paragraph on YouTube: "Julia Ecklar was the special filk guest at Tropicon 8, held in Dania, Florida, in 1989. This recording captures her concert at the convention, and includes 10 songs (of which Julia wrote four). The last song is beautifully signed by Linda Melnick. In the 1980s and early 1990s, Julia was a sought-after filk performer at science-fiction conventions worldwide. As a published author, her skill with words is very evident in the songs she writes. Filk songs are often strong on narrative, and you’ll notice that a number of these are about science fiction novels that were popular at the time." https://youtu.be/f37i168aL2Y 

October 2, 2019
35 zines added for you since the last "What's New". All scanning today is by Joe Siclari.

Let's do the singletons first today. There are 8 of them, although 4 are really a start at adding FAPA 28.
--Yandro 259, the last issue, February 1986, Buck and Juanita Coulson. For the new zines we scan, we're tryin to put information in the PDF metadata. If you float your cursor to the top part of the screen, an info line should appear with the title, issue number, editor, and date of publication.
--Wingwindow 10, August, 1987, John D. Berry. This completes the run on Fanac.org.
--Waldo 1, April 1959, Eric Bentcliffe.
--Satellite 4, January 1939, John F. Burke. This seems to be missing its cover.

The next 4 are the beginnings of FAPA 28. Since CoNZealand is doing retros next year for 1944, this issue of FAPA is are relevant.
--Banshee 4, Larry Shaw, June 1944.

When posting your blog or your facebook story gets too onerous, just read and remember what sensitive fannish types did to achieve those artistic fanzine triumphs. Scans by Joe Siclari.

Fanzines first today, and photos after. Thanks to Jerry Kaufman, we now have recovered pages 66 and 67 of Slant 7, which had gone unaccountably missing (it's an uninteresting story). Jerry was kind enough to let me know so I could fix the problem. Thanks Jerry!

--Added VoM 34, July 1944, Forry Ackerman and Morojo. This was provided and scanned by Rob Hansen. Thanks Rob! The only VoM we're missing now is issue 31. Anyone?

--New-to-us title Vagabondia, complete in all 2 issues, Doc Lowndes, 1941. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

--New-to-us title Scottishe, Ethel Lindsay, 14 issues. More of these are coming.

Photos: We have 30 more photos from Dublin, thanks to Rich and Nicki Lynch. There are some nice photos of the Fan Fund auction, and of the Lego version of the Star Wars battle on Hoth. You can find them at http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Dublin/x19-p00.html. The new ones are in the section for general photos, and for program items. Thanks Rich! Thanks Nicki!

September 17, 2019
We have both photos and fanzines today, along with a poster for a 1959 concert of the New Lost City Ramblers that goes along with Lee Hoffman's Gardyloo.

Photos first: We have the first of the photos scanned at Dublin 2019, from the collection of Philippa Ryder. These are from 1990, from the first Octocon, the Irish National convention: http://fanac.org/Other_Cons/Octocon. Thanks again, Philippa!

Fanzines next:

--Jan-Feb 1936: The 2nd issue #1  of Flabbergasting stories, John Michel and Donald A. Wollheim. This was provided to FANAC and scanned by Kim Hewitt. Thanks, Kim!

--May 1943: Two (different) #1 issues of Cosmic Digest, edited by Don Rogers and Raymond Washington. Don Rogers is a pseudonym for Claude Degler. It is exactly as interesting as you think it might be. Scan by Joe Siclari.

--May 1944: Cosmic Circle membership directory. We also added a page 2 to the white paper. Links to all the Cosmic Circle material we have online can be found at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Cosmic_Circle_Pubs/. Scans by Joe Siclari.

--Jan 1946: Science*Fiction, by Larry Shaw and Judy Zissman. This is the one and only issue. This had a bang up start, with contributions by Bob Bloch and Jim Blish. Scan by Mark Olson.

--Sep 2019: George Phillies sent us a PDFs of September 2019's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

--Sep 2019: Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #455 (3.8 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

September 16, 2019
A whopping 61 additional fanzines today. Randomly on a Monday (actually in order of upload):
--Issue 5  of Sky Hook, Red Boggs, January 1949 FAPAzine. Scans by Joe Siclari.

--14 issues of Beabohema, Frank Lunney. Issues 2, 4-11, 13-16, and 20, from 1968-1971. Scans by Mark Olson.

--3 issues of Götterdämmerunng, Tommy Ferguson, Mark McCann, and James McKee. We added issues 1-3, but we actually alrady had issues 8-11. However they were listed in a pre-2000 format on the website, and I suspect no one, except maybe our late lamented 1st webmaster, actually knew they were there. Scans of issues 1-3 were done at Dublin 2019.

--5 issues of Xero, Dick and Pat Lupoff. We added issues 6, 8-9, along with issue 8 Comics, and issue 8 Avram Birthday edition (which is only 2 pages). Note that issue 6 from 1961 is the Willish - http://fanac.org/fanzines/Xero/Xero6.pdf. Scans by Joe Siclari.

--25 more issues of Yandro, Buck and Juanita Coulson. Today's additons: issues 184-186, 196, 198, 201-204, 206-209, 211-218, 221-224. Scans by Joe Siclari.

--9 issues Scientifriction, Mike Glyer. This is a new title for us. Mike introduces the first issue (December 1974), by saying it's "A sort of Christmascard of a fanzine", By issue 4, he's up to 94 pages. We have issues 1-4, 6, and 9-12. Scans by Joe Siclari.

--4 more issues of Proper Boskonian, various editors, from 1969-1976. We've added issues 5, 7, 13, and 14. Scans by Joe Siclari.

September 14, 2019
Between the Dublin 2019 scanning and Joe Siclari's scanning, and with a little help from our friends, we added 58 zines today.

From Dublin -

--3 issues of Tommy Ferguson's TASH, 1990s. According to Fancyclopedia.org, TASH stands for "The Amazing Sentient House". Cool.

--30 issues of the ISFA Newsletter, the newsletter of the Irish Science Fiction Association. Apparently, the newsetter had some evolution in its name, being styled "newsletter" in the 70s and 80s, and just "news" in the 90s. There were a couple of different editors along the way as you might imagine. These issues run from 1977 to 1982.

From the scanning of Joe Siclari -

--23 more issues of Buck and Juanita Coulson's Yandro. We added issues: 141, 144-145, 153, 155, 157-161, 164-169, 171, 200, 205, 210, 219-220, and 225. Issue 141 dates from 1964, and 225 comes from 1974, so a 10 year span. Usually, I talk about the contributors of words when I mention fanzine ToCs. Having put up a vast number of Yandros in the last few days, I want to point out that there are some fine covers here too - from folks like George Barr, Eddie Jones, Dan Adkins, Danny Frolich, and Juanita herself.

With a little help from our friends -- Rob Hansen provided us with scans of 2 issues of VOM. Newly uploaded are issues 17 and 49. Thanks Rob! We're only missing two issues now. Does anyone have issues 31 or 34? Can you scan them for us? Contact me at fanac@fanac.org.

September 13, 2019
When I do the updates, I usually talk about the fanzines and photos uploaded. Often, folks provide corrections or clarifications, and I generally don't point those out. It happens relatively often, so today let me tell you that I corrected a bunch of misspellings of "Hertz" thanks to a note from John Hertz. No, the misspellings had nothing to do with John, but were for a fellow traveller. Thanks, John.

Added a curious item from August 1950, provided and scanned by Susan Graham and UMBC. It's Egoboo - A Fantasy Satire, by Manly Banister. "EGOBOO is strictly fiction-its characters, places and incidents are fictional. It is, admittedly, satire, but satire without the sting of malice or animosity. It is a mirror like one of those you find at amusement places, laughably distorting what they reflect." Thanks go to Susan Graham and her team.

The biggest addition is another 18 issues of Buck and Juanita Coulson's Yandro. Newly uploaded: issues 121, 123, 126, 129-138, 226-227, and 250-252. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

September 12, 2019
We're mostly staying at least 50 years behind the times today (and all the scanning is by Joe Siclari). We've added 25 zines here.
--1943 Fanzine Yearbook, compiled by Bob Tucker, Larry Shaw and Art Widner. This appeared with Le Zombie 56  in January, 1944.
--Zap, a one-shot done by Ted Johnstone in May, 1957, to commemorate the 1957 LASFS Fanquet held in honor of Forrest J Ackerman. The ink has faded in parts, so some of this is physically hard to read.
--KiwiFan, from Roger Horrocks. 3 issues of this New Zealand fanzine from the late 50s.
--Yandro, from Buck and Juanita Coulson. We've added 20 issues, mostly from the 1960s: 101-102, 104, 106, 108-113, 115-117, 119-120, 253-254, 256-258 and 2 calendars plus a supplement.

September 11, 2019
From Ireland to Dave English - that's where we go today, with a difficult stop in California.

Ireland is represented by 2 issues of James Bacon's The Brentford Mercury  from the mid90s. Did you think Journey Planet was the first?

We halso have 3 issues of Lee Hoffman's folk music zine, Caravan. The last issue here, number 16, is what the zine looked like after it had been taken over by Billy Faier. There's also a songbook, "Folksong Festival Songs".

In the area of collections and fanthologies, today sees 4 more scanned and online: Fanthology 1981, Patrick Nielsen Hayden, A Dave English Sketchbook, published by Larry Stark, the Incompleat Burbee, Vol 1, put together by Pete Graham, Ron Ellik Terry Carr, Dave Rike and Carl Brandon, and Rotsler's Rocks, by Bill Rotsler. We've also replaced the JPG version of "The Selected Writings of Rick Sneary" with a PDF version.

Lastly, I want to call to your attention that we are assembling materials related to the Breen Boondoggle. You can find them at: http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Breen_Boondoggle/ 

September 10, 2019
Wow, we've uploaded 35 fanzines today, from 1955 to 2019.

Noteworthy (not that they're not all noteworthy):
--Issue 300 of Tightbeam, edited by George Phillies and Jon Swartz. That's a lot of issues. George Phillies says that next year is the NFFFs 60th year of publication for Tightbeam.
--The Zed 780, Karen Anderson (Summer 1955). My favorite for today - this issue has the first intentional use of the word "filk" according to Fancyclopedia.org - and you can search for it! Very cool.

Irish zines scanned at Dublin 2019 (all thanks to Philippa Ryder for bringing them for scanning):
--Cygnus, 2 issues (1970s), edited by David Patterson. These are from the North Down Science Fiction Group.
--ISFA News, 10 issues (early 90s), edited by Brendan Ryder. News from the Irish Science Fiction Association.

More issues of stuff we have and want more of:
--Alien Critic and FAPA Psychotic, edited by Richard E. Geis. We have Alien Critic, issue 4 (Jan 1973), and FAPA Psychotic 2 (from around 1972). Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Cry of the Nameless, edited by F.M. Busby. We have a strange little issue from September 1960, plus an envelope from 1969 (it's groovy, and I mean that with no subtext), and a letter from Ted Pauls (1959). I've tucked everything in chronological order, so just look for the date and you'll see the names/descriptions. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Jane's Fighting SMOFs, edited by Jane and Scott Dennis. Added today is issue 12 (Summer 1988), scanned by Ben Yalow. This is the fanzine that focused on convention bidding (esp worldcon bidding).
--Proper Boskonian, 8 issues, various editors. We added issues 6, 12, 26-27, 32, 35, 40, and 43. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--South of the Moon, issue 18 (1980), edited by Harry Andruschak. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Yandro, 8 issues (1960-1961), edited by Buck and Juanita Coulson. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

September 9, 2019
Variety is today's keyword.

First, we added the November 1944 FAPA30A mailing, with 14 zines, including poetry, snark and serious constructive fandom (like Laney's Fan-Dango 7. This is part of our 1)FAPA love and 2)prep for next year's Retro Hugos. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Second, we've added some photos of program panels from Dublin 2019, thanks to Rich and Nicki Lynch. There are also a few caption corrections courtesy of photographer Frank Olynyk. You can see them all at: http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Dublin/x19-p00.html  . The panel photos are at the end.

Third, it's a YouTube day. We've added another interview by Rusty Hevelin conducted at MagiCon in 1992. Note the warning in the writeup. From the writeup - "In this video, Rusty Hevelin interviews author Jack Williamson. Jack talks candidly about his life and career, from his experiences with psychoanalysis to his apprenticeship with (early SF writer) Miles J. Breuer to how he changed with the market over 50 years. WARNING: You have to listen closely as Jack speaks softly, and the interview is very slow till about midway. There's a lot of "I don't recall" early on. If you do, you'll be rewarded with insights into one of the field's most important early writers." The link: https://youtu.be/HEjK5phFv1o 

September 8, 2019
For you today, we have a mixed bag of interesting fanzines.
--Lighthouse, edited by Terry Carr and Pete Graham. We've added issue 6, May 1962, completing the run! Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Maya. We've added issue 7, February 1975, edited by Rob Jackson. This was provided by Rob Jackson and scanned at Dublin 2019.
--The Phantagraph, edited by Don Wollheim. We've added issues 49 and 50 from 1944. These are part of FAPA 30A from November 1944 which will be added next. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Quibble only one, October 1951, by Peter Ridley. This was a one shot, one copy zine done for Lee Hoffman, presumably as a gift or a goof. It features "Illustrations by Virgil Mislay and Earle Bogey". There's hand drawn art, and apologies but the print quality is not the best. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Xero, edited by Dick and Pat Lupoff. Issues 5 and 7 from 1961. Issue 7 credits includes John Berry, Lin Carter, Don Westlake, Buck Coulson, ATom and Steve Stiles. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Yandro, edited by Buck and Juanita Coulson. Issues 74-75, 77, 79, 81, 85, 86, 88, and 100 (which range from 1959 to 1961). Scanning by Joe Siclari.

September 7, 2019
Still catching up from Dublin 2019. Today we added about 200 photos taken by Frank Olynyk. These are primarily of authors at their autographing, but there are a few others. See them at http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Dublin/x19-p00.html. There's a little more tuning to do on the descriptions, but they're up. Thanks Frank!

--11 more issues of First Contact, 1990s, edited by Robert Elliott. This is the newsletter of the Irish Science Fiction Association, and was provided by Philippa Ryder, and scanned at Dublin 2019.
--Maya, edited by Ian Williams, Ian Maule and Rob Jackson. Today, we have issues from all of them. Adding issues 1-6 and 12-13. There's content from the editors, Terry Jeeves, Darrell Schweitzer, Harry Bell, Bill Kunkel, Christopher Priest, Greg Benford, Malcolm Edwards, Pete Weston among others.
--Proper Boskonian, 12 issues by various editors. This was the genzine from the New England Science Fiction Association, published from 1967-1998. Here's a quote from issue 8 - One of the delights of fandom is the never-ending stream of characters who are going to save and purify SF and/or Fandom. They arise; they issue their manifestos; people take them very seriously; all sorts of statements are issued pro and con; people get very upset about what "they" are doing; and a good time is had by all." That was by Richard Harter, in 1971. It seems quite modern, doesn't it?

September 5, 2019
Alphabetically today, we begin with

--9 issues of First Contact, 1990s, edited by Robert Elliott. This is the newsletter of the Irish Science Fiction Association, and was provided by Philippa Ryder, and scanned at Dublin 2019.

--4 issues of Quandry  1952, from Lee Hoffman. We've added issues 18-19, 22 and 24. Thanks to the scanning and OCR'ing by Joe Siclari, we've also replaced issue 20 with a searchable PDF. It makes me unreasonably happy to go into a Q and search on Bloch and (after a couple of clicks) go directly to the letter of comment that he wrote. (In issue 20, he starts with "Dear Shirley", which I'm pretty sure was something no one else did. LeeH always called him 'Mr. Bloch'.)
--Issue 4, Fall 1938, of Scienti-Snaps, edited by Walter Marconette, provided and scanne by David Ritter. David says this is the last all hecto issue.
--Sensor 1.5, Summer 1995, Brendan Ryder. This is the Intersection issue (it's short). It was scanned at Dublin 2019 having been provided by Philippa Ryder.
--WSFA Journal 72, June 1970, Don Miller. Scans by Joe Siclarti.

--2 issues of Yandro, Buck and Juanita Coulson. Issues 56 (1957), and 68 (1958). Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Issue 11, January 1966, of Pete Weston's Zenith Speculation. There's also a letter  soliciting subscriptions. Don't we all wish we had a secretary like Pete did.

September 4, 2019
Another mixed bag today, including a couple of scans from Dublin 2019.
--Maya 8, July 1975, edited by Rob Jackson, with material by Malcolm Edwards and Peter Weston among others. Scanned at Dubin 2019.
--Outworlds, issues 8 and 11, by Bill Bowers. Issue 8 is an all column issue with contributions by Poul Anderson, Greg Benford, Steve Fabian, Doc Lowndes, Andy Offut, Ted Pauls and Bill Rotsler. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Pamphrey 7, the last issue of a Walt Willis FAPAzine from 1958. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Retribution 5, December 1956, by John Berry and Arthur Thompson.
--Issue 1  of Sensor, Winter, 1994, Brendan Ryder. Subtitled a "Review of Irish Science Fiction". This is one of the cache of Irish fanzines, provided to us at Dublin by Phillipa Ryder, and scanned at Dublin 2019.
--Shangri L'Affaires, 14 issues from 1963-1965: 54-60, 63 and 65, plus the 1961 Meritricious Art Supplement, from various editors. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Son of the WSFA Journal, Don Miller, 7 issues 1970-1973: 6-9, 62, 76, 87. These are news supplements to the WSFA Journal.
--South of the Moon 13, August 1976, Andrew Sigel
--Spacewarp 14, May 1948, Art Rapp

September 3, 2019
Today, we learned of the death of FANAC.org's first webmaster, Jack Weaver. Without him, there would be no FANAC site. I met Jack in 1980, when we were both working on the same real-time telephony project for IBM. Jack was technically excellent, thoroughly irascible with those he had little respect for, and a remarkably good friend for what turned out to be almost 40 years. He read science fiction, joined the local club and worked on art show and other convention jobs. At work, when we were having one of those inevitably strange discussions, this time about which of Snow White's dwarfs each programmer resembled, Jack immediately laid claim to Grumpy. No one objected. I will miss him a lot.

As we've experimented with OCR, I've been articulating whether each day's PDFs are searchable. From now on, they're all searchable (except for the art portfolios) and so I'm going to stop mentioning it. Everything new will go up as a searchable PDF unless it makes more sense to have them go up as an image. Thanks for your patience and sorry for any confusion. We are still experimenting with bookmarks, so I'll keep you posted about that.

Today, everything is from Joe's scanning. Thanks Joe! Finally, we've added issue 9  of Hyphen. Materials by Walt Willis, Vince Clarke, Chuck Harris, and Bob Bloch plus letters from all kinds of interesting people. This completes the run (!!!).

Added issue 117  of Harry Warner's Horizons. This was mailed out in FAPA 111.

We've added a boatload of Art Rapp's Spacewarp. There are 14 newly uploaded issues: 7, 19, 23-33, 66, plus the index to the first 5 volumes. Issues are primarily from the late 40s, with the most recent one being from 1960.

Continuing the run of classic zines, we also have issue 2  of Wild Hair, this one dated April 21, 1949. It is from Burbee, Laney and Rotsler.

In random order, we finish with issue 52  of Tucker's Le Zombie, from 1943. Page 9 has a list of fans in the war.

September 2, 2019
Today's additions are courtesy of the scanning of Joe Siclari.

We have added 3 issues of Richard Bergeron's Warhoon, specifically 9, 14 and 16. These range from 1960 to 1962. There are contributions from Walt Willis, Dick Eney, Gregg Calkins, Walter Breen, etc.

Another treat is the addition of 2 searchable issues of Hyphen, edited by Walt Willis et al. We've added issue 19, and replaced the partial issue 1 with a PDF of the entire issue.

From Frank Dietz, we have issue 3  of Luna (which is different than Luna Monthly ). This completes the run. In this issue, there's a speech by Fritz Leiber, a debate on "Witchcraft in Science Fiction" by Lester Del Rey and Randall Garrett and more. Despite the fact that this zine is 56 years old, and our source is not pristine, with the magic of current OCR you can open it up and search on "Witchcraft" and go right to the article. It may not sound exciting to you, but it's exciting to me.

We've also added Chanticleer 6, by Walt Liebscher. I believe this is from December 1945, and contributors include Doc Lowndes, Bob Bloch and Bob Tucker.

And finally, Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #454 (5.1 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

August 31, 2019
The first and maybe the best of our Dublin 2019 scanning is now online. From the collection of Dublin chair James Bacon, we have the sketchbook  of James White, circa 1948, done on the back of a receipt book from the tailor shop where he worked. These are the covers of Slant  that you never saw, plus you know, sketches.

August 30, 2019
More classic issues of Cry of the Nameless  today. We've added 15 issues in PDF format from the late 50s and late 60s. Issues added are: 112-114, 116-119, 122-125, and 180-183. These are chock full of fascinating letters, illos and articles by professionals and BNFs, but you'll have to delve in for yourself. I've had too much fun the last few weeks and now I'm tired. More tomorrow.

at http://fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html. There are a few errors baked in (eg the numbers on a couple of these are not accurate), but it's a decent start.

Today's other offerings still come from the backlog (aka before Dublin). We've added:

Issues 2 and 4 of the Whole Fanzine Catalog, by Brian Earl Brown, scanning by Joe Siclari. We've also replaced the JPG verson of issue 21  with a searchable PDF created by Mark Olson. The new issues complete the run.

Vol 2, #2  of Boyd Raeburn's á Bas, scanning by Joe Siclari.

Issues 2 and 4 of Ground Zero, edited by Belle and Frank Dietz and George Nims Raybin. This completes the run of Ground Zero. Contributors include: John Trimble, Ron Ellik, Lynn Hickman, Ian Macauley and Ted Johnstone. Scans by Joe Siclari.

We have updated the Fanac Names Cross Reference. There are currently 27,704 names in these listings.

August 23, 2019
Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #453 (8.6 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

August 21, 2019
We're back from Dublin 2019, and playing a little catchup. Not ready yet to post anything scanned at Dublin, but here are a few other fanzines for you.

First, from Mark Olson's scanner, we have 12 issues and 5 supplements of the WSFA Journal. The supplements are from the issues numbered in the 70s, and the regular issues are scattered from 1971 to 1974.

George Phillies sent us a PDF of the August issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's Tightbeam, edited by George Phillies and Jon Swartz. Thanks George!

Lebyl Botwinik sent us the August issue of CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl!

George Phillies sent us a PDFs of August 2019's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #451 (7.2 MB) and #452 (6.2 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

August 2, 2019
We're glad to announce that we have completed the run of Joe Kennedy's major fanzine, Vampire. We added the rare first issue (hecto & construction paper) from 1945.

July 28, 2019
First, we've added another classification system for your edification. This one is from Jack Speer, and was originally published in December of 1943. The version we have uploaded is the reprint by Roy Tackett in Dynatron 25 (1965). The title is Decimal Classification for Fantasy Fiction. Scans by Joe Siclari

Mark Olson has been continuing to experiment with OCR of mimeographed fanzines, and we are now starting to put these searchable PDFs online. Remember when you are searching them that the OCR of these old documents is not 100%, but hot damn, now we can search in fanzines that were published decades ago! The earliest today is Yandro 50 from March 1957.

Today's searchable bounty:
--Issue 67, January 1989, of Bruce Gillespie's SF Commentary. We also put up issues 71-72  from April 1992, but that scan is not searchable as yet. Scans by Mark Olson.
--Issue 1, July-August, 1976 of Brian Earl Brown's The Whole Fanzine Catalog. Scan by Joe Siclari.
--Issue 76, April 1971, of Don Miller's WSFA Journal. Scan by Mark Olson
--Yandro, by Buck and Juanita Coulson, issues 50, 69, 73, 93 and 95. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Xero, by Dick and Pat Lupoff. We've put up our first issue, which is the final issue, #10.

July 26, 2019
George Phillies sent us a PDFs of July 2019's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #450 (5.0 MB) of his perzine Opuntia, as well as an updated index to cover the last 25 issues. Thanks Dale.

July 25, 2019
More from the scanners of Susan Graham and her team at UMBC:

1. Two issues of Harry Warner's Spaceways  - issues #2 and #6 from 1939. Number 6 has been tinkered with to improve readability.

2. Issue 6  of Ron Ellik's Starspinkle. This newszine from the early 1960s was a "bi-weekly news and chitter-chatter fanzine" according to Ron.

3. Issue 2  of Ed Mesky's Niekas  with an off-putting front cover. Page 4  has a lovely description of the filk singing session in Karen Anderson's room at Chicon. Sample - "For the next few hours I was there listening to and grokking in its fullness the various filk, Tolkien, and filth songs sung."

4. Issue 8  (edited by Jean Cox) of Shangri-LA. This is a "conference issue" from 1948, and the cover advertises in this issue A E Van Vogt, Ray Bradbury, L Major Reynolds, and Chas Schneeman.

Many thanks to Susan Graham and UMBC.

July 24, 2019
Very pleased to say that today's update consists of 3 of the first 4 issues of Laney's The Acolyte. These were provided and scanned by Susan Graham and her team at UMBC. They kindly have helped fill in some holes in the archive and there are more fanzines from UMBC coming (although unfortunately not more Acolytes). Issue 1 has been tinkered with in terms of color and contrast in order to make the text more readable. Thanks, Susan!

Ed Meskys has provided more than 20 boxes of fanzines to scan and upload. We're starting to go through them now. Thanks, Ed! It's like finding a treasure chest and just getting ready to open the lid. Mark Olson provided the transport. Thanks, Mark! That's a lot of boxes.

We're putting the individual zines from the Denventioneer up on their own index pages. Today, we've added Wright's Denventioneer Comet  issue to that index, and started one for Yerke's Damn Denventioneer Thing. These are from Marh 1941. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

In the spirit of tidying up, we've also added the cover (found it!) to á Bas 6. There's also a B&W cover  for the same issue. I don't know the story behind the two covers. Do you?

Additionally, we have added the double issue 18-19  of the Whole Fanzine Catalog from March 1981. Scans by Mark Olson.

July 22, 2019
Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #449 (8.6 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

July 18, 2019
A bit of a puzzle to lead off with today. I put up issue 3  of Psychotic today, but I'm not entirely sure that it is issue 3. If someone can clarify this for me, it would be much appreciated. There's no issue number that I can find or date. Apparently Geis had some printing problems too, as there were blank pages embedded. We think we put this back to together accurately but if you have a copy, we would appreciate any corrections or confirmations. Scan by Joe Siclari.

Thanks to David Ritter, we now have the first 4 issues of volume 2 of Fantasy News. These are whole numbers 27-30 and date early 1939. All issues are from David's collection, with the exception of issue 27 which is from the collection of James Halperin, Heritage Auctions. David did all the scanning. Thanks David!

Joe also scanned Science Fiction Reivew 21  published by Dick Geis in August of 1955. Contributors include Damon Knight, Dick Lupoff, and Harlan Ellison.

Moving to a more contemporary period, we've added issue 71-72 of Bruce Gillespie's SF Commentary  from April, 1992. There are letters from Ursula Le Guin, Walt Willis, Brian Aldiss, Mal Edwards, Stan Robinson, and many more. Scanning by Mark Olson.

And lastly, today, we have issues 20 and 21 of the Whole Fanzine Catalog. As the index says, these are both from November 1981. They were mailed out together and they are separate issues. Scanning by Mark Olson.

July 14, 2019
Thanks to David Ritter, we now have the first volume of James Taurasi's Fantasy News  online. All issues are from David's collection, with the exception of issues 18 and 24 which are from the collection of James Halperin, Heritage Auctions. David did all the scanning. The issues run from June - December of 1938, coming out very regularly every two weeks. Today's addition is issues 11-26. Here you can read the fannish reaction (or at least Taurasi's reaction) to important events of 1938. Example: the issue 13 headline: "Greater New York Chapter of the Science Fiction League dissolved by Thrilling Wonder Stories", followed a few months later by the issue 21 headline: "First Queens SFL Meeting Huge Success. Mort Weisinger, Editor of Thrilling Wonder, Present". A big hoorah for David Ritter! Thanks!

We have 4 more issues of Bruce Gillespie's SF Commentary. Mark Olson has scanned issues 32, 34, 38, and 68 for us. The first 3 are from 1978 and issue 68 is from 1990. Thanks Mark!

George Phillies sent us PDFs of the July issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's Tightbeam, edited by George Phillies and Jon Swartz. This month's Tightbeam comes in two parts (as did last month's issue). Thanks George!

We also received a PDF of John Thiel's latest Ionisphere  from George Phillies. This is the Bulletin of the National Fantasy Fan Federation Fan-Pro Coordinating Activity. Thanks George!

George Phillies sent us a PDFs of June 2019's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

"Ain't Technology Grand" department - Mark Olson has provided a PDF of the Pavlat-Evans fanzine index  that is searchable! It's not 100%, eg there are some pages and characters that the OCR didn't grasp, but I ran 3 searches and 2 of them worked just fine. What a great improvement to those of us that use the Pavlat-Evans Index heavily. For those that don't, the index chronicles all the fanzines published from the beginning through to the December 1952. There are errors and omissions, but it's a very handy tool. Thanks Mark!

A real newszine treat, courtesy of David Ritter. He's scanned and provided us with the first ten issues of James Taurasi's Fantasy News, dating from the summer of 1938. The first headline of the first issue? "NEXT HELIOS TO BE LARGE SIZE!". A big thanks to David Ritter, and to Mark Olson who provided some reformatting support. This gives us 2886 newszines available online.

There are two more issues of Bruce Gillespie's SF Commentary  up - issue 19 (1971) and issue 29 (1972). Issue 19 is massive - it's 142 pages, and is a special John Foyster issue. Scanning by Mark Olson.

We have for you the (current) July issue of Leybl Botwinik's CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl!

Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #448 of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

And finally, a teaser. We have the last two issues of Spaceways  coming soon, thanks to Susan Graham and UMBC. There are other zines from our scanning wish list as well that we'll be getting online as soon as we can. Thanks so much for helping Fanac fill in the gaps in the online archive of important zines.

July 10, 2019
Mark Olson sent us scans of 3 issues of Don D'Ammassa's Mythologies. Today we've added issues 15-17. Thanks Mark!

July 8, 2019
Two sterling additions to the archive today.

First, it's a YouTube day. Thanks to the careful archiving of Bill Burns, we have a 1970 recording of a talk by James Blish. From the YouTube description: An interesting talk tracing the history of science fiction from well accepted general literature to a literary ghetto and back to general respectability. With wit and insight, James Blish (who was also the respected critic William Atheling Jr.) talks about science fiction before the debut of Amazing,and his perceptions of the malign influence of the specialty magazine. Jim discusses the impact of technology on society's attitude towards science fiction, and where we might go from here. Audio recording enhanced with 40 images. Recording and photos provided by Bill Burns, who was part of the Sci-Con 70 committee. Link: https://youtu.be/Sbj_ClgiQ4c 

Second, we've added a vintage Combozine. Scanned by Joe Siclari, we have added The Denventioneer 1, produced for the 1941 Worldcon, Denvention. Edited by 4e and Morojo, this includes special issues of VOM, Comet (Wright) including a Ray Bradbury piece, Fantasite (Bronson), Damn Thing (Yerke), Alchemist (Hansen), Pluto (Manning) and a few extras.

July 4, 2019
A few treats today for you:

The oldest is Damon Knight's Snide. We've added the Denventioneer issue, from 1941. The first page is more legible than the second, but if you blow it up you can read it. Scan by Joe Siclari.

From the 60s, we have Saint Fantony publications. First, from Keith Freeman and Stanley Nuttall, a very helpful explanation: The Most Noble and Illustrious Order of Saint Fantony, a history and structure. There's also the 1966 secret ballot  for election to the Order.

Dale Speirs was kind enough to resend a PDF of issue #445 (5.8 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Somehow I missed/lost it. Thanks Dale.

July 3, 2019
Today's zines:

Twig 16, 1960, edited by Guy Terwilliger. This issue has pieces by Ted White, Rick Adams and Miriam Carr, and art by Rotsler, ATom, Reamy and others. Scanning and contrast enhancement by Joe Siclari.

Foolscap, issues 1 and 2 from 1967. Edited by John D. Berry. Joe has enhanced the contrast on these to make them more legible. Scanning also by Joe Siclari.

A few updates to start with: thanks to Jonathan Baker for reporting the problem, the links have been fixed on the Other Conventions  index page.

We have updated the Fanac Names Cross Reference. There are currently 27,624 names in these listings.

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #446 (3.5 MB) and #447 (8.4 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

June 14, 2019
We tried to scan Terry Carr's Innuendo 4  at Corflu 2019, but it jammed the scanner and a page was damanged. Now, with careful attention Joe Siclari has scanned the issue and it is finally online. Thanks Joe!

Three new titles today. The earliest is an issue of Walter E. Marconette's Scienti-Snaps. This is the first annish, and it's from February 1939. It has fiction, articles and features, including "An Answer to 'Science or Fiction?' by R.D. Swisher, Ph.D. Scans by Joe Siclari.

Next, from March-May 1939, we have 2 issues of Bob Tucker's D'Journal. The banner reads "Fantasy Fiction's First Fun-Fan Folio Featuring Funtastic Foolery". That sounds like Bob, doesn't it? Scans by Joe Siclari.

Fannish generations later, we have an issue of Dean Grennell's Grue. This is issue 27 from February 1956. Grue was a FAPAzine, and it was nominated for the 1956 Best Fanzine Hugo. Since I've been quoting, here's one from page 2 - "Material this time by Robert Bloch,
Chuck Harris, Lee Hoffman, John Berry, A J Burks, Chuck Derry, Ken Beale, Burbee, Bill Courval, and Bob Hoskins. Artwork by Ray Nelson, Ron Fleshman, Arthur Thomson, Will'm Rotsler, Rich Bergeron, Lee Hoffman, Juanita Wellons Coulson, damon f knight, Randy Jason, also random scraps by the editor." Scans by Joe Siclari.

We have for you the (current) June issue of Leybl Botwinik's CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl!

June 13, 2019
Two more issues of Psychotic, edited by Dick Geis. These are issues 7 and 13 from 1954. Remember, the Psychotic issues are listed under SF Review, so don't be surprised. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

June 12, 2019
A new title for us today - we've added issues 7-14 of Don D'Ammassa's Mythologies. The issues are from 1975-1978, and Mythologies was twice nominated for the Best Fanzine Hugo. These are substantial zines, with contributors including Paul Di Filippo, Jerry Pournelle, Bonnie Dalzell, and Jim Young. Scanning by Mark Olson.

Joe Siclari has manually corrected the scan for Fan-Dango 21, making it more readable. Thanks, Joe!

June 5, 2019
Two new-to-us titles, and an article by Helen Wesson today.

We've added the complete run of Lee Hoffman's folk music zine Gardyloo, the "Magazine of Folknikness". Gardyloo, or something like that, is of course what French housewives were reputed to yell as they emptied the chamberpot from a 2nd story window. These are from 1959-1960. They're a bit peripheral to our main focus, but we are now out of Lee Hoffman folk titles to upload. Gardyloo was added by request, which pleased me no end.

Thanks to Rob Hansen's OCR project, we have issue 1, 7-11 of Sands of Time, edited by Ted Carnell. Issues are from 1941-1944, and were bundled with FIDO. You can see text versions of Sands of Time on Rob's web site at http://www.fiawol.org.uk/fanstuff/then%20archive/Sands/SOT.htm . These scans were delivered to us at Corflu 2019 through the good offices of Bill Burns. Thanks Rob! Thanks Bill!

The article I mentioned is The Phenomenon of HPL. It's a ten page article that appeared in The Fossil, the official organ of the alumni of amateur journalism. The page indicates that this article won the first annual Fossil literary award for biography. It's from July, 1957.

June 4, 2019
A mixed bag today, as it is on most days.
--Wild Hair 7, June 1951, edited by Charles Burbee, F. Towner Laney and Bill Rotsler. Lifted from the facsimile published in Boonfark. Thanks Dan!
--Dimensions. Issue 15, August 1954, edited by Harlan Ellison, and issue 16, September 1956, edited by Lee and Larry Shaw. Apparently Lee and Larry Shaw inherited some materials from Harlan after he had moved on to other interests. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Beabohema, edited by Frank Lunney, 1968 - 1971. Beabohema was nominated for the 1970 Best Fanzine Fanzine Hugo. We've added 4 issues: 3, 12, 17-18. There's Vincent Di Fate fan art - http://fanac.org/fanzines/Beabohema/Beabohema17-19.html, and also in issue 17, a Hannes Bok section - http://fanac.org/fanzines/Beabohema/Beabohema17-27.html. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Eye, edited by Vince Clarke. Issues 2 and 6 from 1954-1955. Contributors including John Brunner, E.C. Tubb, Ron Bennett, Sid Birchby and of course Vince Clarke. More issues coming. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Operation Fantast Newsletter, Ken Slater. Issues 6 (Oct 51), April 54 and August 54. News of the day. This is a different publication from Operation Fantast, although they're both put out by Ken Slater. Scan by Joe Siclari.
--Whole Fanzine Catalog, edited by Brian Earl Brown. Issues 27-28 from 1987-1989. Scan by Joe Siclari.

June 3, 2019
Today, we have some interesting ephemera along with two new fanzine titles (new-to-us fanzine titles). Of course, there's a little more filling in of existing titles as well. All scans today are by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

For the interesting ephemera --
--An Inchmery Holiday card  (1959) from the Aporrheta folks. I find this particularly poignant since 1960 was the year that it all fell apart. When we met Vince Clarke in the 80s, he was still beyond devastated.
--Program for the Enchanted Duplicator production  at Norwescon 5, March 19, 1982, Shelley Dutton and the Razz Bazz Rep. Now you have the program and the script.

For the new titles--
--Boonfark, edited by Dan Steffan, 1974-1983. We have issues 1-3, 5-8. Issues 6 and 8 have graphic adaptations of Chapters 2 and 3 of the Enchanted Duplicator. Presumably Chapter 1 was in issue 4. (Does anyone have an issue 4 that they're willing to scan for us?) Contributors to Boonfark are stellar - Terry Carr, Ted White, rich brown, Grant Canfield, Bill Rotsler, Alexis Gilliland, Ray Nelson, Dave Langford, Jack Gaughan, Steve Stiles, Lee Hoffman, Richard Bergeron, ATom, etc.
--Wing Window, John Berry perzine, 1981-88. We've added issues 1-9, and 11.

And finally for the filling in--
--Double Bill, edited by Bill Bowers and Bill Mallardi. Issues 11-13 (1964-1965), and 18-20 (1968-1969)

-- Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #444 (5.7 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

June 2, 2019
A wealth of updates today. Joe was up half the night scanning apparently. Thanks Joe!

Two new titles:
--Bane, edited by Vic Ryan, 1961-1962. We have added the complete run of 10 issues (well 9 and 1/2 issues). Contributors include Dan Adkins, Nick Falasca, MZB, Buck Coulson, Bob Lichtman, Bill Rotsler, Steve Stiles, Terry Jeeves, Bob Tucker, Andy Offutt, Shelby Vick, ATom, Redd Boggs, and Harry Warner, Jr.
--Habakkuk, edited by Bill Donaho, 1960-1994. There were a few gaps in publication. The first 6 issues are 1960-1961. The next 3 are 1966-1967. Donaho also stopped numbering the issues with their whole numbers, and switched to Volume/Number in the second set, or rather Chapter/Verse. There are some great illos, and contributors include Bjo Trimble, ATom, Ray Nelson, Bill Rotsler, Mal Ashworth, Felice Rolfe, Art Rapp, Ron Ellik, Steve Stiles, Greg Benford, Gordon Eklund, Terry Jeeves, Joe Staton, and Don D'Ammassa.

More of the same. Issues to start filling in runs of fanzines that are already represented on the site.
--Aporrheta, edited by Sandy Sanderson, 1958-1960. We've completed the run, adding issues 1-5, 7-14, and 16. ATom, Ron Bennett, Vince Clarke, Harry Warner, Dean Grennell, Joy Clarke. Fancyclopedia.org says Aporrheta has been called "one of the best British fanzines of the late 50s" - http://fancyclopedia.org/aporrheta  .
--Outworlds 48, December, 1985, Bill Bowers.
--SF Commentary, Bruce Gillespie. Issues 51-52 (1977), 69-70 (1991). The last is a double issue. Scanning by Mark Olson on the SF Commentary issues. The rest of today's scanning is all Joe Siclari.
--WSFA Journal, edited by Don Miller. Issues 57, 61, 70, 73-74, 77 from 1968-1971. This is a clubzine, but there are unexpected art and articles in here. Covers and back covers are done by Vaughn Bode, Jack Gaughan, Tim Kirk and articles by Thomas Burnett Swann, Jay Kay Klein. Strong representation on the TOC by DC locals of course like Alexis and Doll Gilliland.

June 1, 2019
We have a new-to-us title to add today. Thanks to the scanning of Joe Siclari, we've added the first 10 issues of Double Bill, edited by Bill Bowers and Bill Mallardi. The zine was published from 1962 to 1969, and had contributors like Buck Coulson, Bjo Trimble, Bob Tucker, John Berry, G.M. Carr, and Terry Jeeves.

There's more sercon in 4 additional issues of SF Commentary, edited by Bruce Gillespie. Today's additions: issues 25, 26, 28, and 30. These are sizable issues. Issue 26 alone is 120 pages. Scanning by Mark Olson. We may be asking for help in filling in our gaps in SF Commentary. We're running out of issues to scan and there are not that many issues under 70 that are missing.

More music today as well. We have added issues 1-9 of Lee Hoffman's Caravan, 1957-1958. This is a folk music zine so a little peripheral to our FANAC.org focus, but 1) it's from LeeH, and 2) you'll see contributions from John Brunner, Buck Coulson and Harlan Ellison. There's also Dave von Ronk. Scanning by Joe Siclari from LeeH's file copies.

Fill in the gaps:
--WSFA Journal #1, March, 1965, edited by Don Miller. This 1st issue starts with a history of the Washington Science Fiction Association, the organization for which this fanzine is the official organ. There's a short message from the president, Banks Mebane. In a curious juxtaposition, Banks Mebane later moved to Florida and was friends with Lee Hoffman. Here's my favorite picture of them together - http://fanac.org/Other_Cons/TropiCon/t03-005.html. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Femizine 11, May, 1959, edited by Ethel Lindsay. There's a piece by Elinor Busby in this issue, along with other contributors. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

May 31, 2019
Today's additions continue to fill in existing titles. All scanning by Joe Siclari today.
--Pot Pourri 41, John Berry, October 1965.
--Peon, edited by Charles Lee Riddle. Issues 2 (Sept 1948) and apparently issue 11 (Dec 1949). I thought issue 11 was already online, but somehow I neglected to actually put it online. Issue 2 has Rotsler illos. Issue 11 has David Keller, E. Hoffman Price, Ray Nelson and more.
--Yandro, edited by Buck and Juanita Coulson. From 1962-1966, we've added 6 more issues of Yandro: 118, 124, 128, 139, 142, 156.
--Shangri L'Affaires 13, A Series, edited by Forry Ackerman and Morojo, Halloween 1941. This is a one page zine that was apparently done at a party by leaving the stencil in the typer. We've all done it at one time or another, haven't we?
--Orion, issue 19, June 1957 edited by Paul Enever and George Richards, and a 3 page Christmas Card for 1961.
--Odd, edited by Duggie Fisher and Richard Elsberry. Issues 4-8, 10-13 from 1950-1951. Issue 12 has a Silverberg piece, "The Truth About Yngvi".

May 30, 2019
Fill in the blanks
--Spacewarp, edited by Art Rapp, issues 67. 69, 74, 76 from 1960 to 1963. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Spanish Inquisition 9, February 1977, edited by Jerry Kaufman and Suzle Tompkins. This has a great Stu Shiffman cover - a portrait of the editors. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Voice of the Imagi-Nation, edited by Forry Ackerman and Morojo. Many issues: 18-19, 22, 29-30, 32,35-45, 47-48, 50 and two special issues done for the 1941 Denventioneer. Issue 39 has Forry's article/response to the death of his baby brother, KIA on January 1, 1945. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Warhoon, edited by Richard Bergeron. Issues 18 (1963), 23 (1968). Contributers include Robert Lowndes, Walt Willis, William Atheling Jr (Jim Blish), and Walter Breen. Scans by Joe Siclari.

May 29, 2019
Scanning and uploading have been happening. Reporting on the scanning and uploading has not. So, additions from the last few days (in order of upload):
--Fanvariety, edited by Max Keasler. Issues 4-13 from 1951. This later became Opus. This was 1951 remember, and on page 3 of issue 12, http://fanac.org/fanzines/Fanvariety/Fanvariety12-03.html, you can read Max Keasler's reaction to finding out that Lee Hoffman was a girl. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--Shangri L'affaires 10, May 1943, edited by Phil Bronson. This is the "B" series (the "A" series issue 10 appeared in 1941). Shaggy 10 was provided by Rob Hansen from his OCR project and delivered by Bill Burns at Corflu 2019.
--Novae Terrae 28, December 1938, edited by M. K.Hanson. All the Novae Terraes have been provided by Rob Hansen from his OCR project, and were delivered by Bill Burns to us at Corflu 2019. If you would rather read a text version, they're all on Rob's site at http://www.fiawol.org.uk/FanStuff/THEN%20Archive/NewWorlds/NT.htm.
--Femizine, edited by Joan Carr and Ethel Lindsay. Issues 1, 5-6,7 and 9, mid 1950s. Joan Carr, of course, was a hoax perpetrated by Sandy Sanderson. Issue 9, http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Femizine/Femizine09-01.html  tells the whole story. Femizine went on for 6 more issues. Scans by Joe Siclari.
--SF Commentary, edited by Bruce Gillespie. Issues 16-18, 20-23 from 1970-1971. Scanning by Mark Olson.
--Little LeZombie, Bob Tucker, Issues 1 and 3 from 1941. These were printed in Fantasy Fiction Field and are slotted into the Le Zombie index where they fit chronologically. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Cinder, edited by Jim Ashe, late 1960s. The dates and numbering are inconsistent here. Does anyone have insight? Are there two series? Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Foolscap, John D. Berry. Issues 4-6, 8. 10-11 AND a 3 page LOC from Lee Hoffman that was tucked into one of the issues. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

May 27, 2019
Added Foundation of the CPASF, by John Michel from May 1939. You've heard that Michel thought fans should be politically active. This one shot pamphlet is about the CPASF - "Committee for the Political Advancement of Science Fiction". Scan by Joe Siclari.

May 26, 2019
Something old, something new. Today's additions in chronological order:
--Deventioneer Fantasite 1, Phil Bronson, March 1941. This is part of a combozine done for Denvention in 1941. My favorite line is "Cliff Simak is every inch a fan and he is positively swell." He certainly was when I met him in 1981. We will be putting up other zines from the Deventioneer, as well as the entire fanthology. Scan by Joe Siclari.
--What is Science Fiction Fandom?, Martin Carlson. This is a 1971 reprint of a 1944 pamphlet presented by the welcoming committee of the National Fantasy Fan Federation. It's a window on the past. In defining fandom, the pamphlet quotes E. Everett Evans as saying that fandom "is a state of mind", and from Michael Rosenblum's "Citizens of Tomorrow in the World of Today". I have to agree that fandom broadens your life. Scanned at Corflu 2019.
--Fantasy Advertiser 4, September 1946, edited by Gus Wilmorth. Magazines and books for sale, ads and the occasional article. Scanned by Joe Siclari.
--Operation Fantast 6, December 1948. Edited by Ken Slater, 1st series. Fiction, reviews, editorial and listings of magazines for sale. Scanned by Joe Siclari.
--Fandango 21, edited by F. T. Laney, Spring 1949. In addition to Laney, there's an article by Burbee. Scan by Joe Siclari.
--Orion, edited by Paul Enever. Issues 11-12 from 1955. Contributors include John Berry, George Richards, ATom and others. Scanned by Joe Siclari.
--Space Diversions 11, edited by Norman Shorrock, June 1960. This is the last issue Space Diversions, and has contributions by Eric Bentcliffe, Ron Bennett and Terry Carr among others. Norman was still looking for LOCs despite it being the last issue. He promises that a LOC will ensure you receive the first issue of Bastion.
--Legal Rules, Jerry Lapidus. Issue 2 from 1969. Business meeting stuff from worldcon. This was scanned by Mowgli Assor, and provided to Fanac at Corflu 2019.
--Inworlds, Bill Bowers. This is a review zine from the early 70s. We've put up 12 issues of it today. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Intermission 84, 2019, an EAPA zine. Ahrvid Engholm. This one is also on e-fanzines.

May 25, 2019
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! In the US, it's the unofficial start of summer. For your beach reading pleasure, we have added fanzines from both sides of the pond, and across multiple decades.
--Novae Terrae, edited by M. K. Hanson, issues 23-27, as well as the supplemental pages for issue 27. These issues are all from 1938, and include a 48 page anniversary issue. Associate editors include Arthur C. Clarke and William Temple. Jack Speer has an article in the anniversary issue titled "Why Fandom?" It's still worth reading. As with the other issues, these were provided by Rob Hansen from his OCR project and delivered to Corflu 2019 by Bill Burns.
--Opus, edited by Max Keasler, issues 2-6, 1952. There's a lot tove here. There's the continuing "All Our Yesterdays" by Harry Warner Jr, columns and articles by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Harlan Ellison ("Cleveland Fandom - First Year") and a quirky feature called "About This Picture" in which a skiffy illustration is paired with an explanation that is funny or outrageous or a combination. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Psychotic, edited by Richard E. Geis. Issue 5 from 1953. Remember, the Psychotics are in the SF Review index along with other Geis titles.
--Spacewarp, edited by Art Rapp, issue 100, October, 1972. This is the 25th anniversary issue, and a 104 page behemoth. There's a useful list here too - page 3 has a checklist of Spacewarps to date - http://fanac.org/fanzines/Spacewarp/Spacewarp100-003.html  . There are reprinted articles, other checklists, poetry, art and cartoons. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Timebinder, edited by E. Everett Evans, issues 1, 4 and 6 from 1944-1946. Serious and constructive. Very serious. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Umbra, edited by John Hitchcock, issue 8, August 1955. Book reviews, fanzine reviews, fiction, editorials. This is ditto. Joe Siclari for the scan and judicious punch-up so it's more readable. Thanks Joe.

In particular, art by George Barr, Dan Adkins, Bjo Wells (aka Trimble), Juanita Coulson, George Scithers and others. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

I've fixed some errors on the site thanks to help from John Boston and Rob Hansen who pointed them out. If you see a problem, even if it's a small one, please let me know by sending a message to fanac@fanac.org . Thanks to Rob, I've corrected the editor's name on Caustic Square Bullshooter - part of the December '43 FAPA mailing, and thanks to John, I've corrected the page ordering on Terry Carr's Lighthouse 5. Thanks to you both.

We have a few new additions as well.
--Aporrheta, edited by Sandy Sanderson. Issues 6, 15, 17 from 1958-1960. Contributors include: Bob Tucker, Frank and Belle Dietz, Joy and Vince Clarke, Dean Grennell, Bill Rotsler, ATom, and John Berry.
--Full Length Article #6, Jack Speer, 1965. Titled "The Breenigan After One Year". Too soon?
--Opus, edited by Max Keasler. Issue 20, January 1953. This is our first issue of Opus, but the last of the fanzine I believe. On Max Keasler: Lee Hoffman said of him, "Max was the personification of Sixth Fandom in America: young, witty, enthusiastic. He openly avowed that he never read science fiction. He blazed across the fan skies, speaking in interlineations, publishing monthly, filling the world with Ray Nelson drawings. Then he disappeared." http://fancyclopedia.org/max-keasler 
--Psychotic, edited by Richard E. Geis. Four issues: 11, 22, 25, 27 from 1954 (issue 11) to 1968. Sample contributors from issue 27 - Bill Rotsler, Ross Chamberlain, Harlan Ellison, Greg Benford, Jack Gaughan, and John Christopher. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Sky Hook, edited by Redd Boggs. Issues 14 (1952) and 20 (1953). Skyhook was nominated for the Best Fanzine Hugo in 1956 and the Retro for Best Fanzine of 1954.
--Spacewarp, edited by Art Rapp. Added issues 22, 109. We had had text versions of some others, but have now also added scans of issues 34, 35, 36, 38, 42, and 109. Spacewarp was nominated for the Retro for Best Fanzine of 1951.
--Texas SF Inquirer, issue 24 (edited by Scott Merritt), and issue 55 (edited by Brad and Cindy Foster). Provided by Pat Virzi and and scanned at Corflu 2019. We are still working down those scans.

May 23, 2019
For your fannish entertainment today:

Completed runs:
--Oopsla, edited by Greg Calkins - I thought this was complete before but Sam McDonald pointed out that there was an interim issue after 29 and before 30. That one is now online as well, so we ought to be well and truly complete on Oopsla. Thanks Sam! Joe Siclari for the scan.
--Pong, edited by Ted White and Dan Steffan - In a massive feat of scanning, Joe has provided the remaining 35 Pongs and now we have a complete run. Thanks Joe!

More of a good thing:
--A Bas, edited by Boyd Raeburn. Issues 5, 6, 8 supplemental (2 pages), 10, and Volume 3, Number 3. I can't figure out which issue is V3, N3. Does anyone know? From internal evidence, I place it at July, 1954, but I don't know the whole number. Help. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Canadian Fandom 21, June 1954, this issue edited by Gerald Stewart. Intended for distribution at the Mid-West Con. Scanning by Joe Siclari.
--Goon, but Not Forgotten  by Jack Harness, October 1959. Scan by Joe Siclari. This was pubbed in 1959. The Goons of TV fame released an album by the same name (with the addition of an ellipsis) in 1967. There are some puns that cannot be avoided. The Goon Show ran from 1951 to 1960, so perhaps Jack reused the title.
--SF Commentary, edited by Bruce Gillespie. We've added issues 10-14, all from 1970. George Turner, John Foyster, Harry Warner, Bill Rotsler, etc. Scanning by Mark Olson

May 22, 2019
More good stuff today in no particular order. From the 1970s, we have 4 more issues of Mike Gorra's Random. These are issues 1-4 from 1974, and issue 4 has an Egoboo Poll for 1973-1974 and lists voters and votes for Best Fanzine and Best Fan Writer. Who won? Outworlds was the best fanzine and Susan Wood was the best fanwriter. You can see the entire poll at http://fanac.org/fanzines/Random/Random04-06.html. Scanned by Joe Siclari.

The next is, I think, a new title for us today. We've added 6 issues of Pong, edited by Ted White and Dan Steffan. An early 1980s fanzine (except for issue 41), it was a key fanzine for its commentary and wit. Issue 41 scanned by Dan Steffan, and the rest by Joe Siclari.

More Peons  too. We have added 14 more issues: 1, 3-6, 8-11, and 17-21. Edited by Charles Riddle. These date from the late 40s to early 50s.

We've added 3 more issues of John Berry's SAPSzine Pot Pourri, including issue 1. (We've added 1,5, and 6.) In the first issue, you can feel his excitement over finally getting into SAPS. It's charming. Scans by Joe Siclari.

May 21, 2019
First, we have more Oopsla, edited by Greg Calkins. These are issues 4 issues today. We have issues 13-14, 16, and 30, from 1954 to 1961. Issue 30 has contributions from: George Barr, Walt Willis, Dean Grennell, Bob Bloch, Harry Warner Jr, Bob Tucker and Greg Calkins. Oh, and the art credits are really good too: Dan Adkins, Richard Bergeron, Jack Harness, William Rotsler, and ATom. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Next we have more Psychotics, including some early ones. Issues 8 and 17 are from 1954, and issue 23 from 1968. Psychotic was one of the titles that Dick Geis used, and you'll see on the index that they are listed with SF Review and Alien Critic. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Finally, we've added the first 9 issues of Bruce Gillespie's SF Commentary. SF Commentary is serious and constructive, and there are unexpected (to me, anyways) contributors like Stanislaw Lem. Scanning by Mark Olson.

George Phillies sent us a PDFs of May 2019's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

May 20, 2019
Just two titles today, but both of them are outstanding.

First, we have another 11 issues of Lighthouse, edited by Terry Carr and Pete Graham. Beginning with issue 10, Terry's name is the only one that appears as editor. Lighthouse was nominated twice for the Hugo for Best Fanzine. Contributors include Walt Willis, Terry Carr (of course), Jack Gaughan, Don Wollheim, Ted White, Pete Graham (of course). For issue 15, the TOC reads like a wishlist of contributors - Chip Delany, Carol Carr, Gahan Wilson, Fritz Leiber, Damon Knight, Tom Disch, Pat Lupoff, Joanna Russ, Harlan Ellison. And now it's online at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Lighthouse/Lighthouse15-01.html  and you can read it whenever and wherever you want. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Next, we have another 6 issues of Oopsla, edited by Greg Calkins. Thanks to the scanning of Joe Siclari, we've added issues 1-5, and also issue 5.5. This last was done for Walt Willis, put together to raise money for the fan fund to bring him to the US and Chicon II.

Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #443 (3.9 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

May 19, 2019
I ran out of time to post an update yesterday, so this is actually for yesterday and today. Today's fanzines come from 1935 to the late 1960s, so I will attempt a chronological list.

A couple of delightful additions to the usual roster of zines uploaded from the Corflu mass scanning event.

First, we have a transcript of the highly entertaining Guest of Honor speech  that James White gave at Albacon II, the 1983 Eastercon, titled "The Scottish Influence on Sector General". Ian Sorensen provided and corrected the OCR transcript. It's a real pleasure to hear James speak again, and you can hear him when you read the transcript. Thank you, Ian.

Second, thanks to Jerry Kaufman, we now have the script for the Enchanted Duplicator play  that was performed in 1982 at (I believe) Norwescon 5. The adaptation was done by by Shelley Dutton Berry, Gary Farber, and Jerry Kaufman. Thanks Jerry! This is especially timely with the Irish worldcon just a few months away.

On to the fanzines.

-- Everything is Everything, by Gary Deindorfer, March 1972. This is a 2 page rider that was distrubited with Hot Shit  one month. Provided by Grant Canfield, scanned at Corflu 2019

-- Ploy, edited by Ron Bennett, from 1956 - 1959. 9 issues. There are lots of illos, including art from Bill Rotsler, ATom, Eddie Jones, Juanita Coulson.

Having led with the massive issue count, now on to lesser issue counts.

The first batch of 8 issues: numbers 47-51, 53-54, and 60 which are from 1951-1954. Harry was not only prolific but amazingly consistent. One of the most trying parts of putting zines online is to find the number, the date, and often the editor (and the name of the fanzine). Bruce Pelz was a marvel of consistency in making this info easy to find. Harry's Horizons are equally consistent. A very big thank you to Frederic for providing these at Corflu 2019.

May 12, 2019
Lots more fanzines scanned, but first a brief digression. At the end of April, I uploaded Thyme 77, and commented on the unusual inclusion of Thyme Fiction. Kim Huett tells us that a number of issues of Thyme included a fiction supplement while Lync & Clive Newall were editing the newszine. Thanks Kim! I'll keep an eye out so I can note that in the index as we scan more.

Now fanzines. We've added the May issue of Leybl Botwinik's CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl!

Also from Corflu, but not a fanzine, we've added to the YouTube channel a recording made by Rob Jackson of the Saturday panel, "The Void Boys Speak!". If you are a subscriber to the FANAC YouTube channel, you may have gotten a notice yesterday. Thanks to Bill Burns, today we are uploading a replacement video of that panel with improved quality. Thanks Rob, and thanks Bill! From the YouTube description: "VOID was a focal point fanzine of the 1950s, and launched the science fiction careers of Jim and Greg Benford. This panel, held at the 2019 Corflu, covers the history of VOID. With original editors Jim and Greg Benford, co-editor Ted White, and with Luis Ortiz (who is publishing a book on the topic) , the panel covers all aspects of VOID. If you are familiar only with the professional careers of Jim and Greg Benford, and Ted White, this video will give you perspective on their fannish careers. The video ends with a rousing rendition of the Void Boys song! Note that the video was streamed live, and there are slides in use showing the VOID covers that are not visible in the video. If you are interested in seeing the covers, or reading Void, check out http://fanac.org/fanzines/VOID". You can find the video at: https://youtu.be/fMz7fBytt34

Corflu 2019 was a delightful fannish oasis from start to finish. Today's update is about Corflu and what is happening next.

Fanac.org had put out a request for particular fanzine issues before the convention, and did in fact bring the scanning station to the convention. The Corfluvians came through, bringing fanzines, material support, skilled hands and all that we could hope for. We scanned 3500-4000 pages during the weekend, and received more scans on CD and thumb drive. We are beginning to put them up today. Also Fanac.org was given the 2019 FAAN award for Best Online Fan Activity!

Thanks go to Michael Dobson, Paul Skelton, Ted White, Nigel Rowe, Rob Jackson, Murray Moore, Pat Virzi, Greg Benford, Ian Sorensen, Mary Ellen Moore, Frank Lunney, Jerry Kaufman, Suzle Tompkins, Jim Benford, Andy Hooper, Bill Burns, Rob Hansen, Grant Canfield, Susan Graham, Luis Ortiz, Dan Steffan, Frederic Gooding III, Mowgli Assor, John D.

Today's update is an eclectic mix, and all the scanning is by Joe Siclari. We have two new fanzine titles, plus what I hope are some interesting items.

The first of the new titles is Pluto. We've added 4 issues of this Vincent/Marvis Manning fanzine from 1940-41. Issue 5 has a cover by Damon Knight. There's some poetry, an article referencing a certain H. P. Pong, an article by Forry Ackerman, and a number of contributor names I didn't recognize.

The second of the new titles is a bit of a tangent to our usual material. We have a couple of issues of Lee Hoffman's Caravan. Caravan was a folk music zine rather than science fiction, and has record reviews, an article by Paul Clayton, ads for Electra Records and so on. These issues are from 1958, and the staff photographer is listed as Aaron Rennert. Aaron was living in Port Charlotte towards the end of Lee's life, and was my co-consipirator in delivering my surprise 70th birthday present to her - Happy Birthday, LeeH!.

The Enchanted Duplicator is still loved and appreciated, 65 years after its original publication. We now have 6 versions on line, included a text version. Today we added the original 1954 edition, and the 1971 edition. You can find them all here - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Enchanted_Duplicator/.

We're also scanning Yearbooks, and are collecting them in one index. Today we added a short one - Tucker's 1944 Fanzine Yearbook. It's a compendium of the fanzines published during the year. Here's your chance to cross check Pavlat-Evans!

The last item on today's update is another Neofan's Guide. Today we added the 4th edition from 1976, edited by Bob Tucker and published by Linda Bushyager.

April 27, 2019
Two new titles today. First, at the suggestion of Greg Benford, we've added some issues (4) of Boyd Raeburn's fanzine, A Bas. This Canadian fanzine was pubbed in 1950s. There's poetry, there are interlineations (some of which sound a little sketchy now), there are articles and there is humor. Thanks for the suggestion Greg, and thanks to scanner Joe Siclari.

The second new title is Varioso  aka Vamp aka SF. Vamp and SF are the previous names, but the numbering is contiguous so we've put them in the same index. There are 8 of them up now - this zine was pubbed by John Magnus, and has articles by Hal Clement, Shelby Vick, Bob Madle, and other 50s stalwarts. Also scanned by Joe.

Today, we fill in a few blanks. First, continuing the Dick Geis zines, we have added issues 39-42, and 47 of Science Fiction Review, courtesy of Jim Harris. These issues are from the early 80s.

We've filled a gap in Izzard  too. Issue 6 is now online. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

For those fascinated by the financial side of fandom, we have an issue of the Business Supplement to the WSFA Journal  from 1967. The treasurer reports an on hand amount of $39.03. Scanning by Mark Olson.

The last of our fill-in-the-blanks today is another issue of Geri Sullivan's Idea. You can now find issue 11 on the index. There's a piece by Dave Langford, and art by Stu Shiffman, Ken Fletcher and Bill Rotsler, among other notables. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

April 26, 2019
Still working through the Dick Geis zines, today we have put online 7 more issues. There's Alien Critic 11, and Science Fiction Review issues 29-33, and 35. You can find them all at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/SF_Review. Scanning by Jim Harris. Thanks Jim!

Continuing with yesterday's 1930s theme, we've put up 4 more zines of that decade. These were all scanned by Joe Siclari. Are these representative of the period? What do you fan historians say? I find the singletons of these to be rather sad, remnants of good intentions that never led to issue 2.

--King Goddard - Technocrat, September, 1938

--Alex Osheroff - Robot, August, 1937

--James Taurasi - Space-Lines, September, 1938

--Don Wollheim - The Science Fiction Bugle, May, 1937

Almost as old, we have a new-to-us title from the 1940s - Walt Daugherty's Fan. Issue 2 has fiction from Henry Hasse (who was co-author on Ray Bradbury's first published story). Issue 4 was for the 1945 Fanquet. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

From 1941, we have both issues of Harry Jenkins Fanart, with abundant examples of exactly that. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

We've also established an index for publications that were focused on art at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Artzines. To kick it off, we've seeded it with the ATom Fan Calendar 1959, and Ted Johnstone's "Fanzine for Atom/Rotsler" from 1964. Scanning by Joe Siclari. More to come.

April 25, 2019
Congratulations to this year's TAFF Winner, Geri Sullivan. In celebration, we have uploaded 6 issues of her fanzine Idea. Idea ran from the late 80s to 2000. Besides Geri (who is a very good writer), Idea had contributions from folks like Jim Young, Nate Bucklin, Jon Singer, Walt Willis (!), James White, Jeff Schalles, Jeanne Gomoll and Andy Hooper. Yay Geri! See you in Dublin. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

There's another LASFS publication today. It's the Christmas Art Meritricious  for 1959. This one was edited by Bjo Trimble. It's mostly art, with a few short articles, including one by Robert Bloch. Scanning by Mark Olson.

More from Jim Harris today. We've put up 2 issues of Alien Critic, edited by Dick Geis. Remember that we've put Dick's zines in a single index even though he changed titles several times. The ranges and zine titles are bolded to give you a perspective on what came when. Today's addition is two issues from 1973 and 1974. Thanks Jim!

Joe Siclari has been scanning as many 1930s zines as he can (and so has Mark Olson). These are the most fragile and so move to the front of the line. Today we have 5 zines from the 1930s for you. Each of them is the only issue published for that title. I'm sure the editors (at least some of them) planned to publish more, but one issue is what they did. Some of the pages are a little hard to read. They are old.

--Forrest Ackerman - Metropolis, July, 1939. Done for the first Worldcon, there are pictures and (presumably reproduced) signatures.

--Jim Avery - Funtasy, Spring of 1939. Harry Warner is the Associate Editor and Hoy Ping Pong the consulting editor.

--Robert Madle - Cosmos, May, 1938. John Baltadonis is the Associate Editor.

--Robert Madle - Science Fiction Fan, February, 1935. John Baltadonis is the Managing Editor.

--James Taurasi - Queer Tales, June, 1938. Poetry, art and articles.

By the way, thanks to Mark Olson's coding skills, we are keeping a running total of pages and fanzine issues on http://fanac.org/fanzines/chronological_listing_of_fanzines.html  and on http://fanac.org/fanzines/alphabetical_listing_of_fanzines.html. The total is right under the descriptive paragraph. We are also keeping tally of the newszines on http://fanac.org/fanzines/chronological_listing_of_newszines.html. It's not completely accurate. Most of the PDFs count as 1 page, so the real total is actually larger.

April 24, 2019
To pick up the newszine thread again, we've added several issues of two titles. First, we have 6 more issues of Checkpoint, edited by Peter Roberts. Checkpoint was a UK newszine from the late 60s/early 70s. There are a couple of double issues, and the evocatively named "Lostwithiel" issue. I have long thought that Lostwithiel is the most Tolkienesque placename on the planet. This Checkpoint issue was primarily intended for trade. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Next, we have 5 more issues of the Australian newszine, Thyme. Today's additions are issues 77, 78, 80, 82, 83. Issue 77 includes a fiction section  of 12 pages. I don't believe there was another such in any other Thymes. Does anyone know? Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Leaving the newszines, and getting more traditional, we've added an issue of a 1940 hectograph zine by Tom Wright, The Comet. Page 10 (http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/COMET2/Comet2-10.html  has a where-are-they-now article on the winners of the first Gernsback cover contest. The contest was held in Gernsback's Science Wonder Stories in 1929, and challenged readers to submit a story based on the Frank R. Paul magazine cover. This article has the perspective of 10 years afterwards. Consider it your dose of SF history for today. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

April 23, 2019
Thanks to Jim Harris, we have new-to-us title(s) today. So far, there are 8 issues of Richard Geis's fanzines on line at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/SF_Review/  . The titles changed every so often, while the numbering remained consecutive, except when it didn't. For more on Dick Geis, see the Fancyclopedia article at http://fancyclopedia.org/richard-e-geis  . Science Fiction Review was one of the most influential zines of its time. It was filled with discussions, and often arguments, between pros and fans, and reached more people than any other fanzine. Contributors were a "Who's Who" of both fans and pros. Geis won the Hugo for Best Fan Writer seven times, and was nominated many more. His fanzines won the Hugo for Best Fanzine 6 times. You'll notice we put some title ranges in the index  to help keep the title Cconfusion to a minimum. Thanks to new contributor Jim Harris who scanned copies of his zines and provided them to us! Thanks Jim!

More issues today of Bruce Gillespie's SF Commentary. Today, we've added issues 46-50. Note that whole numbers 48-50 are one big triple issue (and weigh in at 146 pages). Scanning by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

We're starting to scan Lighthouse. We have 3 issues up so far. Edited by Terry Carr and Pete Graham, Lighthouse was nominated for the 1967 Best Fanzine Hugo and the 1968 Best Fanzine Hugo. Contributors to these issues include: Terry Carr, Pete Graham, Ted White, Ray Nelson, ATom, Rotsler, Alva Rogers, Walt Willis, and Steve Stiles. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

April 22, 2019
Five more issues for you of A. Langley Searles Fantasy Commentator  from the mid-late 1940s. This sercon fanzine published articles by contributors like F. Towner Laney, Sam Moskowitz, and Jack Speer. Plus a little poetry. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Moving forward in time to the 1950s we have 7 more issues of Shangri-L'Affaires, namely issues 39-41, 43, 49, 53 and Series C, 8A. If you look at the index page, there are almost different editors as issues. Of course, the issues span 1958 - 1997. There's a little Bob Bloch, a little Ron Ellik, a little John and Bjo Trimble, among others. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

A week or so ago, we started putting up PNH and TNH's Izzard. Our contribution today: scans of issues 2-5 and 7. Issue 7 for instance, has work by Bertie MacAvoy, Ted White, and Terry Carr. And a letter from Harry Warner too. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

George Phillies sent us a PDFs of April 2019's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

April 20, 2019
Continuing with more of Harlan Ellison's zines, today we have another 4 issues of Science Fantasy Bulletin, also from the early 50s. Not only is there writing by Harlan, but by Bob Bloch, MZB, Dean Grennell, Algis Budrys, Bob Silverberg and more. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Ready for some NFFF history? We've put 5 more early Bonfires  online, including the first one. These are from the early 40s, and show how important the NFFF was thought to be at the time. Scans by Joe Siclari.

Harry Warner's fanzine Spaceways  ran for 30 issues in the late 30s - early 40s. Today's addition to the canon - issues 17-23. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

I'm not sure that I mentioned this before, but we have 4 issues of Mallorn  on line too. This is the annual Journal of the Tolkien Society, from the early 70s. Scanning by Mark Olson.

April 19, 2019
Guy Terwilliger did more than Annuals. He also pubbed Twig. Today we added 4 issues. There are contributors like Tom Reamy, the Coulsons, and Dean Grennell. There is at least one Feghoot-like article too. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Everyone has heard of Walt Willis and Bob Shaw's fannish masterpiece, "The Enchanted Duplicator", right? Fanac.org has long had a text version online, and today to enhance your reading, we have added 4 more editions, all with different artwork. There's one from 1962, one from 1979, from 1983 and from 1988, with different illustrations. Here's your chance to get ready for Dublin this year, and immerse yourself in Irish fan writing. They can be found at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Enchanted_Duplicator/. Scanning by Mark Olson.

And back to the 1950s again, this time with Harlan Ellison in the US. We have two issues of Harlan's Science Fantasy Bulletin, from the early 50s. Issues 8 and 10 show what Harlan was capable of when he was a fan and before the mad dogs kneed him in the groin.

Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #441 (4.4 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

April 18, 2019

The 1957 volume has an intro by Bob Bloch, and contributions from John Berry, Tom Reamy, Bob Shaw, Carl Brandon (wink wink), Marion Zimmer Bradley and more.

April 17, 2019

There's nothing like variety to keep your hobbies interesting. Today, we have a variety of publications to share with you. First, how about some Australian History? Published in the mid90s, Vol Molesworth's "A History of Australian Fandom 1935-1963"  is chock full of details and photographs. It appeared in segments in The Mentor. Scanning by Mark Olson.

We also have a trio of fanthologies, published from 1948 to 1982. From 1948, we have the 1948 Fantasy Annual, edited by Red Boggs and Don Wilson. There are articles on clubs, APAs and magazines. It's really more of a Yearbook, but for now you can see it here under Fanthologies. Scanning by Mark Olson.

Next, we have The Expurgated Boob Stewart, published in 1960 and edited by Terry Carr. This of course is a collection of work by Boob Stewart. One of the articles (done in collaboration with Terry Carr) is "Dr. Longdog Answers Your Questions". Scanning by Mark Olson.

The last of today's additions is from 1982, edited by Eric Bentcliffe. When Yngvi was a Louse  has articles by Ted Tubb, Mal Ashworth, Bob Shaw, John Berry, Terry Jeeves and others. The articles look back to the 50s, when Yngvi was indeed a louse. Scanning by Mark Olson.

April 16, 2019
We're making some more incremental changes to the look and feel of the Fanac.org site. Today's noticeable change: we've put all the fanzines in a single, sortable list -- here. It's a long list, and you can search to find a particular zine on the page. With over 7100 fanzines and hundreds of titles, it's not reasonable for everyone to remember when a particular fanzine was published and look in the right list. So we're doing away with the artificial distinctions of modern and classic. We'll be tweaking the descriptive wording over the next few days as well. I hope this makes the site easier to use for everyone.

Now to the fanzines: Sam McDonald has really come through with some 1943 material for us. Today we've added 2 issues of the MFS Bulletin  from 1943. He's also combed through our list of fanzines published in 1943  and found half a dozen spots where we didn't have the link properly included, even though the materials are online. Sam, I think I have them all now. Thanks!

We have another issue of Canadian Fandom. This is issue 17  from 1951, and it's edited by Ned McKeown. For you Worldcon fans, there's an article on Cinvention. That was in 1949 and this fanzine lists 1951 as a publication date. Hmmm, I better read it a little closer. Scans by Joe Siclari.

Moving from Canada to the UK, we've also added another issue of Orion. This one is issue 18, edited by Paul Enever. Contributors include John Berry, and Terry Jeeves. Scans by Joe Siclari.

Moving right along to the 1960s, we've added 4 more issues of Frank Dietz's Luna. This changed its name to Luna' at issue 6, but the ones we added today are the earlier issues. Much of this is transcriptions from convention programs and interviews. You'll see names like Randall Garrett, E. Everett Evans, Theodore Sturgeon, Doc Smith, Ed Emsh, SaM and John W. Campbell, so a few names you know. The Campbell/Emsh piece is from a discussion led by SaM at the Pittcon. Scans by Joe Siclari.

April 14, 2019
Time for newszines. We've added 3 more issues of the British newszine Checkpoint, edited by Peter Roberts. These are from the mid 1970s. Today's addition - issues 22, 92. and 99. Scans by Joe Siclari.

Our new title today is from the 80s. We have for you 2 issues of Izzard, by Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden. Izzard was nominated for the 1984 Best Fanzine Hugo and in 1987 it won the SFC Award for Best Fanzine. There are contributors here like Terry Carr, Greg Benford, Tom Whitmore and Steve Stiles. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

April 13, 2019
Hooray for Rob Hansen! He saw that we were missing issues of The Fantast, and sent us scans of issues 1, 2, and 4, along with a rejected article from issue 2. Since the issues were published in 1939 (by C.S. Youd aka John Christopher), this is no easy feat. Thank you Rob!

By the way, along with these early issues, check out the star studded Fantast issue 13. Contributors include Arthur C. Clarke, Doc Lowndes, Forry Ackerman, and of course, C.S. Youd along with others.

More issues today of SF Commentary. This zine edited by Bruce Gillespie won the Ditmar Award 5 times and was nominated for the Best Fanzine Hugo in 1972, 1973 and 1975. Today's issues are 40-45, published in 1974-1975. Scanning by Mark Olson.

April 12, 2019
We're back in the 1940s today with 9 issues of Canadian Fandom. Edited first by Beak Taylor and later by Gerald Stewart, this zine was first published as 8-Ball, and later morphed into Canfan (edited by Bill Grant). Contributors include Leslie Croutch, Fred Hurter, and Henry (no relation) Ackerman. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

From an even earlier time, we have 6 issues of Fantast. This UK fanzine was first edited by C.S. Youd (better known as John Christopher), and later by Douglas Webster. There are a few familiar contributors, but a number of new-to-me names. Check it out. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

April 11, 2019
Dublin 2019 has announced the Finalists for this year's Retro Hugo Awards, to be given for works published in 1943. We've pulled together what we have on Fanac.org, along with a few zines from eFanzines and the University of Iowa, to give you a single place where you can find all the Finalist publications available online. Read before you vote! http://fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html  Thanks to Joe Siclari and Mark Olson for all their scanning efforts, and to Bill Burns and Pete Balestrieri for their archives.

April 8, 2019
We have another issue of Blat  for you today. It's issue 4, from 1994, and has material by Andy Hooper, Rob Hansen, Gordon Eklund, Steve Stiles and more. Scan by Mark Olson

Mark also scanned Fanthology 64. Edited by Mike Domina and Terry Carr, contributors include Bob Tucker, Ted White, Bill Rotsler, Lee Hoffman, Dick Lupoff, Carol Carr, Grania Davidson and others. What were you doing in 1964?

April 7, 2019
For a modern touch, today we uploaded the complete run of Patrick and Teresa Neilsen Hayden's fanzine, Telos. Telos ran from 1980 to 1982, and had 5 issues. There are contributions and letters from folks like LeeH, Dick Bergeron, Dan Steffan, Terry Carr, Bertie MacAvoy, John D. Berry and Gary Farber (who had a hand in editing a couple issues). And of course there's material by Patrick and Teresa :-) Scanning by Joe Siclari.

We've a few more of issues of Wally Weber / Buz Busby's Cry of the Nameless  online. Today's additions (scanned by Joe Siclari) are issues 101, 109 and 120. These issues are from the 50s, when Cry was considered one of the most fannish of fanzines. Thanks Joe!

We've added the April issue of Leybl Botwinik's CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl!

April 4, 2019
We have another YouTube piece up today! Thanks to Fred Lerner, we have a 1962 audio interview with John W. Campbell. It can be found at https://youtu.be/SC-o9z-E010. From the YouTube writeup: John W. Campbell and his views on science fiction are showcased in this intriguing audio interview (presented with illustrative pictures) from 1962. Fred Lerner, noted librarian, bibliographer and historian, was just 17 when he interviewed John W. Campbell, the man that shaped much of science fiction for decades. Campbell was both a successful author and the long time editor of Astounding Science Fiction (later Analog). Topics discussed include Rudyard Kipling as a science fiction writer, the government's interest in Cleve Cartmill's fiction, and the nature and value of science fiction. If you like Golden Age science fiction, this is an opportunity to hear one of the giants of the field in his own voice.

Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #440 (3.9 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

April 2, 2019
Mea culpa. I incorrectly marked The Spanish Imposition  as a hoax zine. It's not -- it's a one shot done by DavE Romm in honor of Jerry and Suzle being Guests of Honor at Balticon in 1976. Sorry about that.

As another Corflu approaches (http://www.corflu.org/ ), we have for you today a fanthology edited by Andy Hooper for Corflu 10. It's Fanthology '89. Contributors include Walt and Madeline Willis, Jeanne Gomoll, Mike Glyer, Dick Lynch, Joseph Nicholas, Ted White and more. Thanks Andy! Scanning by Mark Olson.

Eastercon is approaching too - https://www.ytterbium.org.uk/. Fancy a little British fanzine? Here's the complete 6 issue run of Mal Ashworth's BEM. It ran from 1954 to 1958, and had contributers like Vince Clarke, C.S. Youd aka John Christopher, Bob Shaw and Bob Bloch. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

April 1, 2019
A treat from the '70s today! We have 7 issues of Suzle Tompkin and Jerry Kaufman's Spanish Inquisition. SpanInq won the 1977 Best Fanzine Hugo, and had a contributors list of some of the best of 70s fandom including Ginjer Buchanan, Randy Bathurst, Grant Canfield, Vincent Di Fate, Moshe Feder, Ken Fletcher, Phil Foglio, Alexis Gilliland, Mike Glicksohn, Terry Hughes, Bertie MacAvoy, Sandra Miesel, Andy Porter, Peter Roberts, Bill Rotsler, Stu Shiffman, Jon Singer, Dan Steffan, Mae Strelkov, Reed Waller and much more. There's also a hoax zine included, titled The Spanish Imposition. Thanks to Jerry and Suzle, and to the man who did the scanning - Joe Siclari.

March 31, 2019
I'm very happy to say that Joe Siclari is back to scanning after his heart surgery. He's not at full strength by any means, but has returned to archiving some of the best of fandom's publications. Today, we have 9 issues, including 2 supplementary issues, of Ella Parker's Orion. These ran from 1953 - 1962, and had material from Ken Bulmer, ATom, John Berry, George Locke and others. We prioritized scanning Orion at the suggestion of Rob Hansen. Thanks Rob! And hooray for Joe, back from the brink and engaged in his usual and much-missed fanhistorical pursuits.

George Phillies sent us a PDF of John Thiel's latest Ionisphere. This is the Bulletin of the National Fantasy Fan Federation Fan-Pro Coordinating Activity. Thanks George!

George also sent us PDFs of the February issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's Tightbeam, edited by George Phillies and Jon Swartz. This months Tightbeam comes in three parts. Thanks George!

Taral Wayne sent us a PDF of his Perzine Rat Sass 12  which we have added to the Rat Sass index. He says this is likely the last issue of Rat Sass. Thanks for sending it, Taral.

March 30, 2019
Thanks to Eli Cohen and Leslie Turek for the name updates on the photos from Selina Lovett's photo album. We appreciate you guys helping to clarify the names so quickly!

Still working on those WSFA Journals. Today we added issues 60, 62, 64, 65 and 69. The latter is a 90 page behemoth special Disclave 1969 issue. Scanning by Mark Olson. (They may still be uploading so if they're not there when you look, give it until tomorrow). Thanks Mark.

March 29, 2019
Thanks to Alan White, we have a scan of what is arguably the first fanzine ever published, the May 1930 issue of The Comet. It was the only issue with that name. Later issues were titled "Cosmology". Thanks Alan!

Selina Lovett provided us a lovely slew of photographs from the early 1970s. These are primarily NE fans, but there are also photos of folks like Arthur C. Clarke, 4sj, and Poul Anderson. I've added them in as an album under http://www.fanac.org/Fan_Photo_Album. You can link directly too: http://www.fanac.org/Fan_Photo_Album/l03-p00.html. Thanks Selina!

March 26, 2019
Thanks to the good offices of Peter Mansfield, we now have the last of issues of Jack Chalker's Mirage. The missing one was #4, and Peter was kind enough to notice the gap, and provide the issue and the scan. Thanks Peter!

FYI, we have a list of folks that have contributed materials to FANAC.org at http://www.fanac.org/FANAC_Inc/fancont.html. If you have contributed, but don't see your name, please send a quick note to fanac@fanac.org . If you haven't contributed, and have some interesting fanzines that are not on the site already, please send us a scan and get the double egoboo of seeing your scan on line and your name on the list. Before you do a lot of work, please check in and make sure that we don't already have the scan in the backlist waiting to go up. If you aren't of the scanning persuasion, how about finding a corner of fandom that you know about and adding or extending articles on Fancyclopedia.org? Be a participant.

We have 9 more issues of the WSFA Journal  today from 1968. Scanning by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #439 (5.3 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

March 22, 2019
We have more issues of the WSFA Journal, this time from post-Boskone scanning. Today we put up 8 issues, all from 1967 of the clubzine, including a couple edited not by Don Miller, but by Jay Haldeman. Scanning by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

Some of the last of the Boskone scanning is Battle of the Titans, Vaughn Bode vs Jack Gaughan. This art zine is exactly what it sounds like it should be - an entertaining artistic romp between two great fan (and pro) artists. This is part of the material that Geri Sullian brought to Boskone for scanning last month, and was scanned there. Thanks Geri!

George Phillies sent us a PDFs of March 2019's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

Additionally from Boskone, we've added a couple of Neofans Guides  to fandom and to science fiction. These are from 1973 and 1984, edited by Bob Tucker, Marty Cantor and Mike Glyer. If you have to ask what they are, then you should read them.

Adding to our collection of yearbooks, we've added the Science Fiction Yearbook 1957, 1958 edition, published in 1960. I think I have that right. Editors are the editors of Science Fiction Times, James Taurasi, Ray Van Houton, Frank Prieto. Scan by Mark Olson.

The photos were sent to Waldemar Kumming by Walter Ernsting in 1981, and came to Thomas Recktenwald from Waldemar. Thanks to Thomas for sharing them with everyone!

Eli Cohen has provided us with scans of 35 of the 36 issues of Prospectus, the Newsletter of the Fantasy and Science Fiction Society of Columbia University from 1969 to 1973 which he edited. If you fondly recall the Adventures of Ferdinand Feghoot, I'm told that many of the issues contain "The Adventures of Grayson Greensward", a feghoot-like series. Thanks Eli! If anyone has issue 1, please let us know. That's all we (and Eli) need for a complete run.

February 23, 2019

We had a very productive weekend at Boskone 56. The FANAC scanning station scanned almost 2000 pages of material. Scanning by Mark Olson and Joe Siclari. History minded fans stopped by and provided material (thanks Geri Sullivan!), and promised more. We have promises of photos, and fanzines and scanning hardware too. The zines scanned at Boskone will be so marked in the index pages of the title, so you can see what we did. The first batch going up are Yandro issues.

Today in Buck and Juanita Coulson's Yandro  we have added 7 1965 issues from 146-152.

The fanzine section has been organzined since the mid 90s into categories of Classic Fanzines (before 1980), Modern Fanzines (after 1980), and Electronic Zines. Those categories will be changed eventually, but for now we have provided two new ways to find what you're looking for. Thanks to software written by Mark Olson, we now have a Chronological Fanzine Listing, and an Alphabetic Fanzine Listing  that cover ALL the zines we have. You can look at a month and see what we have online that was published during that month. As always, we are adding more zines, so the list will change. It's not ALL the zines that were published, but we are getting some good numbers. December 1943 shows 55 listings for instance.

Today, we uploaded issue 4  of Austin Hamel's Stellar  (1944). Scan by Joe Siclari. If Pavlat Evans is to be believed, this is the last issue.

For the music lovers among us, we've added an autographed program  from the Disclave 1975 production of The Mimeo Man. Scan by Joe Siclari.

It's a YouTube day. We've uploaded another of Rusty Hevelin's excellent interviews from MagiCon, the 50th Worldcon. This time, Rusty interview Frank Robinson. Frank was a long time fan, as well as author and editor. From the YouTube description: "Frank talks about the war years, the fanzines he published, the Ray Palmer era in magazines, his time at Rogue Magazine and lots more. Highlights include: working with Ray Palmer, discussion on the line between fan and pro writing, the story of George Pal's production of 'The Power' from Frank's story of that name, and Frank's views on the impact of science fiction and of fantasy." There's also talk of his not-good relationship with Damon Knight, his brief career as a fan artist (6 color cover on a fanzine!), and how he made his first sale. These interviews provide great insight into a fascinating period in our field. You can find the video at https://youtu.be/QcK_5kmMJ64 

Joe Kennedy's fanzine Vampire  was one of the most highly regarded fanzine in the late 40s.

We've uploaded another choice recording on our YouTube channel. During the filming of the "Demon With a Glass Hand" episode of Outer Limits, Harlan Ellison gave a talk about adapting science fiction for media. This was at the 1964 Worldcon, Pacificon II. Thanks to Jerome Scott, Director of Projects for SCIFI in LA, we have the audio. You can find it at it at: https://youtu.be/pCS7bhYrtY0. The first few minutes of the talk are missing. From the YouTube description: Harlan gives an engrossing talk (audio, enhanced with images) about writing for television and about how Hollywood works. The talk took place during the filming of the Outer Limits episode, "Demon With a Glass Hand", and Harlan speaks very frankly (including complaints) about his experience as the writer on the episode. Includes Harlan's reading of a scene as written, and as changed by management as well as discussion on the casting, the directing and the location. Embedded are photos of Harlan throughout his science fiction career." Enjoy! WARNING: Harlan uses some strong language in this talk.

As it happens, today we've uploaded a Harlan Ellison edited zine. It's Bulletin of the Cleveland Science Fiction Society 16  from 1952. This is the issue that was transitional between the Bulletin and Science Fantasy Bulletin. In fact, if you look at the last page of the zine, it's marked as "Science Fantasy Bulletin". Contributors include Lee Hoffman and Dave Kyle ("In Defense of My Fanhood"). Scans by Joe Siclari.

The NFFF has been the "entry point" into fandom for many fans. In the early 60s, they published Fandbooks  to provide fans with background education on the fannish community. Here are 4 of them - http://fanac.org/fanzines/Fandbook  . Scans by Joe Siclari.

December 15, 2018
Geri Sullivan has put together Fanac.org's first "Guided Walk" through some of our fannish publications. This is a new thing for us - kind of an online fanthology. Geri's piece is titled "Roadtripping with the Wheels of IF"  and will point you to some great fanwriting from the BNFs of Irish Fandom. It also includes personal letters and photos that will give you a feeling of what Wheels of IF were really like. See our splash page for more explanation. Thanks Geri!

Joe Siclari has been scanning more from Irish Fandom. Today's offerings are issue 50  of John Berry's Pot Pourri, and a "Burbee-type one-shot" for FAPA 69 done by Walt Willis in 1954 titled WAWCRHBSJWCATWCMWPMSSACW. Want to find out what that means? Follow the link. Thanks Joe!

Mark Olson has been scanning too. From his prolific scanner we have two more fanthologies. The first is from 1978, put out by Linda Bushyager, Tim Marion and Joyce Scrivner - Of Such Are Legends Made, V1.

The second is not your general fanthology. Edited by Ruth Berman, it's the SHsf Fanthology 3, a collection of writing on Sherlock Holmes from fanzines. Thanks Mark!

George Phillies sent us a PDF of the December issue  of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's Tightbeam, edited by George himself and Jon Swartz. Or rather, George sent us two PDFs. This months Tightbeam comes in two parts. Thanks George!

December 14, 2018
Collections and fanthologies have long been a popular way to share important fannish writing. We've had a few online for a while, like Terry Carr's Entropy  (1964).

We have The Portable Carl Brandon, eddited by Terry Carr and published by Jerry Kaufman.

Issue 2 says "Published for the Committee for the Political Advancement of Science Fiction." John Michel is a name with which you may not be familiar. Read all about him in Fancyclopedia at http://fancyclopedia.org/john-b-michel. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

December 10, 2018
A few days ago, I reported that we put up Fanfare  issues 5 and 6. What I neglected to mention is that issue 6 was the Earl Singleton memorial issue. Earl wasn't really dead, but he had his roommate announce that he had committed suicide and fandom was in mourning. This fanzine was released before the deception became known. Read more about Earl at http://fancyclopedia.org/earl-singleton 

Thanks to Thomas Recktenwald, we have an additional 10 issues of Shards of Babel, a newszine from the Netherlands edited by Roelof Goudriaan. The issues are from 1991 - 1993. Thomas realized we were missing these issues, located them and sent the scans to us. Thank you, Thomas!

More Irish fanzines for you today. We have added facsimile issues of Hyphen 21  and Hyphen 36. Hyphen 36 was already up in part, having been retyped for Fanac.org years ago by Judy Bemis. The new facsimile issues were scanned by Joe Siclari.

We also added several issues of Richard Bergeron's Warhoon. Issues 6 and 7 are now online, with scanning by Joe Siclari.

Dick Wilson was about 18 when he published The Convention Crier  in 1938. There's a little bit of everything here. Dick was a Futurian, and in 1940 had his first science fiction story published.

Tired of all the 1930s zines we're posting? Something more modern today. We have 5 issues of Gus Willmorth's Fantasy Advertiser  from the mid to late 1940s (and one from 1951). This haul includes the 1st two issues. There are articles, worldcon ads, and oh yes, book listings. Interested in a December 1932 Weird Tales for 75¢ ? I suspect the offer may have expired by now. Scans by Joe Siclari.

We also have Fanfare  issues 5 and 6. Issue 5 has a cover by Damon Knight. Issue 6 has articles by Bob Tucker, Milt Rothman and Doc Lowndes. Tucker's piece is on the financial matters of the Chicon, the 1940 worldcon. He contends that you don't need much money to put on a convention. Scans by Joe Siclari.

From September, 1980. we bring you the Noreascon Two Special Report  issue of Mike Glyer's File 770. Get a contemporary view of a great convention. It was great, but I was there toting a 6 week old baby, so I may have missed a few things. Scanning by Mark Olson.

Today, we added the December issue of Leybl Botwinik's CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl!

December 5, 2018
From the late 70s and early 80s, today we have a dozen or so issues of The Whole Fanzine Catalog. This was from Brian Earl Brown in Michigan, and is full of contemporary fanzine reviews. Scanning by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

From the 1940s, we have 2 more issues of The Sydney Futurian, issues 6 and 11. I'm not sure who the editor was for these issues - it was either Vol Molesworth or Graham Stone. Scanning by Joe Siclari. These newszines can really give you a feel for Australian fandom in the late 40s.

December 3, 2018
Are you feeling musical today? We have two fannish musicals, originally presented at Boskone in the 70s to share with you today. Scanned by Mark Olson, these were both written by Sue Anderson and Mark Keller. The earliest is Rivets Redux, a science fiction musical  from 1978, followed by The Decomposers Songbook or "Rivets Has Risen From the Grave"  from 1979. Both were illustrated by the late, lamented Stu Shiffman. There's also a playbill  from the Decomposers.

For your 1930s fix, we have the first issue (hecto!) of Fantasy Fiction Digest. This was done by Morris Scott Dollens, and appeared in September of 1936. There were only two issues. As you probably know, Dollens was an artist. Check out the 1930s art in this issue. It's very cool.

George Phillies sent us a PDF of John Thiel's latest Ionisphere. This is the Bulletin of the National Fantasy Fan Federation Fan-Pro Coordinating Activity. Thanks George.

December 2, 2018
News of the 70s. News of the 70s in the UK to be specific. We've added 20 issues of Checkpoint, some edited by Peter Roberts and some by Darroll Pardoe. They range from 1971 to 1975. There are two trial issues, both labeled "Issue 0" from 1971. There are also a couple of issues of MI, a zine by Eric Bentcliffe that were distributed with Checkpoint. Those are in situ with the Checkpoint issues, and also can be found here - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/MI/. I think we're at 2,681 newszines now. You can find a chronological list here.

December 1, 2018
Smofcon is currently in progress in California, and so today we have some "new" Smofcon  photos for you. These however, are not from 2018, but from 1992 and Smofcon 9. Photos and scans by Mark Olson.

Everyone has heard of the Exclusion Act that occurred in 1939 at the 1st Worldcon, right? Here is a contemporary piece of commentary about it by one of the excluded. Check out Leslie Perri's "In your teeth, 'gentlemen'. Plus there are sketches. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Sticking with 1939, we have 4 new to us issues of Harry Warner's Spaceways. There's also now scan of issue 1  as a complement to the text version that has been on the site. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Twenty-one (21!) newszines added today, all PSFS News or PSFS Bulletins. The earliest of these are from the 1930s (and hecto). The most recent are from 1992. There's some fascinating material here, including a special convention supplementary issue  for the 2nd US convention - the 1938 Philadelphia gathering.Scanning by Joe Siclari.

From Mark Olson's scanner, we have 7 more issues of Richard Bergeron's Warhoon. The issues range from 1960 to 1964. Issue 20  from 1964 has quite a lot of discussion about Walter Breen.

November 24, 2018
Our first offering today is another 1930s hectographed fanzine. It's Ted Dikty's Fantasy Digest, issue 4. This fanzine had 8 issues, running from 1939-1940. Scan by Joe Siclari.

Next, we have 9 issues of Richard Bergeron's Hugo winning fanzine, Warhoon. Warhoon won Best Fanzine in 1962, and was nominated a total of 3 times. It started life as a SAPSzine, then moved to FAPA. Contributors include Terry Carr, Bob Bloch, Harry Warner and Walt Willis. Page through yourself and find more (although these are some pretty fine contributors right here). Scans by Mark Olson.

I'm told you can tell a lot about a person by their signature. This is your chance to see a bunch of signatures from the attendees of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th worldcons. Morojo put together an autograph pamphlet as a fanzine, and today we've uploaded 3 issues complete with signatures, including those of Robert Heinlein and his wife Leslyn. Scanning by Joe Siclari. You can find Stephan the STFan here - http://fanac.org/fanzines/Stephan_the_STFan/.

November 22, 2018
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Joe Siclari has scanned some rare and fragile zines for today's update. We have 3 additional issues from 1944 and 1945 of Laney's Acolyte. The contributors are legendary. Here you'll find pieces by Fritz Leiber, H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, E. Hoffman Price, Tony Boucher, and others. If you love Lovecraft, this is the zine for you.

In the way of newszines, we have 3 issues of Ahrvid Engholm's Science Fiction Journalen, the longeset running Scandinavian newsletter. These are from 1989 and 1985. Scan by Mark Olson. This brings us up to 2,640 newszines.

We have a 30s addition today. Scan by Joe Siclari. This is the last issue of Fantasy Fiction Telegram  from 1938. It's from Bob Madle, Jack Baltadonis, Milt Rothman and Oswarld Train. This was done in hecto, and achieved some really nice color. Check it out.

Thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson, we have 4 issues from 1966 of The Tolkien Journal. These issues were edited by Dick Plotz.

November 20, 2018
One of the Most Important Fanzines Every Published! Today, we added Donald Wollheim's defense on keeping staples in science fiction publications. There are two issues from 1935 of Wollheim's Polymorphaneucleated Leucocyte. Scan by Joe Siclari.

Keeping with the 30s theme of the day, you can now read issue 6  of Maurice Ingher's Science Fiction Digest. It leads off with a story by A. Merritt, and has material by Julie Schwartz, Forrest J Ackerman and Mort Weisinger. There's also an interview with Harry Bates, who later wrote "Farewell to the Master", the story basis of the film, "The Day The Earth Stood Still".

From 1999, we've added Shelby Vick's tribute to Hyphen, titled Hyphen 38. And now we've lost Shelby too.

For those that are keeping score, the lastest update on what the Fan History Project has been doing is online at http://www.fanac.org/FANAC_Inc/update1118.pdf. There's information there not only about our online activities, but also the other things that FANAC has been doing to preserve fan history. Older updates can be found at http://fanac.org/fanzines/FANAC-Updates/.

George Phillies sent us a PDFs of November 2018's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

You can see all the Discon publications at http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Discon/w74-pubs.html. PR5, the Final Progress Report  is really a post-convention report, with a cover photograph taken from the masquerade. Scanning by Mark Olson.

November 15, 2018
More 30s goodness for you today. We have 3 issues of Corwin Stickney's Amateur Correspondent  from 1937. These are very cool, with names like E. Hoffman Price, Robert Bloch (fan fiction?) and Clark Ashton Smith. Scan by Joe Siclari.

For those who like more modern fan writing, say 1943, we have the first iteration up of our source page for those interested Retro Hugos. This is a work in progress and there are at least 20 more links that we'll be putting in, but it's there for your perusement at http://fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos1943.html. We're including links not only to Fanac.org materials, but to relevant fanzines from the University of Iowa collection  of Rusty Hevelin's fanzines, and from Bill Burns's efanzines. If you have materials that are not online, and are willing to scan them for us, or make them available for scanning, please let us know. The Retros will be better if interested parties can access the original materials. Thanks to Mark Olson and Joe Siclari for putting this together.

Dale Speirs sent us a PDF of issue #429 (6.6 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

November 13, 2018
Ready for your dose of Irish fandom? We have 2 more issues of John Berry's Pot Pourri  today. These are issue 4 (1958) and issue 15 (1960). Pot Pourri was distributed through SAPS.

For those who think the 50s and 60s are too recent to count as fan history, we have issue 12 of Maurice Z. Ingher's fanzine Science Fiction Digest. This includes a chapter of Cosmos too. There are articles by Julie Schwartz, Mort Weisinger, 4sj and others. Very cool. Very old - it's from 1933.

We also have added issues 6 and 10 of the A series of Shangri L'Affaires, from Forry Ackerman. These are from 1941.

For your reference, there's also a useful bit of indexing done by Elinor Busby. It's an index  to the people in Laney's Ah! Sweet Idiocy!. Now you can ego scan for your favorite 40s LA fans. All scanning today by Joe Siclari, with Mark Olson contributing on the Pot Pourri. Thanks!

November 11, 2018
We're happy to have a new video up on YouTube for you. Well, it's from 1992, and it's about the early days of fandom. If you go to https://youtu.be/BJvjkRx0v38, you can watch Rusty Hevelin interviewing Art Widner about the early days of fandom. From the Youtube blurb: "The conversation ranges from the first fanzine (arguably published by Lovecraft) to the origins of FAPA to the Singleton suicide hoax. You'll hear about the perils of mimeography, the start of the Strangers Club and even learn the plural of YHOS. If you are interested in Fan History, here's your chance to get a personal view from someone who was there at the beginning. To read many of the fanzines discussed, go to FAFANAC.ORG." It's nice to hear Rusty's laugh again.

We have fanzines too. Today's have been scanned by Joe Siclari. First up, last issue of the Dietz(s)/Raybin fanzine, Ground Zero. This is the Detention issue, and includes Ted Johnstone's convention report.

Two more issues of Charlie Hornig's Fantasy Fan  have been added as well. These are from 1933/1934. As I said before, this is the fanzine that got the Charlie a job as editor of Wonder Stories. We added issues 2 and 16, and on the first page of issue 16, he notes his role as "Managing Editor: Wonder Stories". Why not. In 1933, Charlie was 17.

November 9, 2018
We've added a couple more LACon1 publications. Progress Report 3 has a great Tim Kirk cover. The hotel reservation card will give you pause. Room rates were $14/night for a single. You can find the pubs at http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/LA_Con/w72-pubs.html.

For a look at early fandom, we've put up the 1936 issue 4  of the Science Fiction Fan, a fanzine edited by Olon Wiggins. Donald Wollheim contributed FanFarade (see page 1), a column about fan doings. Sample: "A committee was formed to arrange the next and more pretentious gathering of all fans East of the Mississippi next year..."

November 8, 2018
Today we bring you news of the 1950s and 60s, and an interesting Worldcon program book from the 70s. First, thanks to scanning by Mark Olson, we have the L.A.Con 1 Program Book  from 1972. There are some interesting things here. For example, see Artists’ Interpretations of Frederik Pohl’s Works.

In the way of news, we have two titles represented. From 1954, there are 3 issues of Futurian Society News, the clubzine of the Futurian Society of Sydney. There’s also a 40th anniversary meeting publication  of the society. This newszine and the next are from the scanning of Joe Siclari.

A couple of interesting newszines for you today, scanned by Joe Siclari. First, we have a February 1939 issue of The Futurian News, edited by John B. Michel. News for Futurians, by Futurians, before the first worldcon.

Next, we have two issues of the Rick Weiss fanzine, The Filking Times  from 1991. We don't have much filk related material on line yet, so this newszine is a welcome addition. Thanks for the newszines, Joe!

From the scanning of Mark Olson, we also have the Program Book from Discon II, the 1974 Worldcon. You can find it at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Discon/Discon2pb-00.html. Thanks Mark!

October 25, 2018
Some newszines, another musical, and an Irish fanzine for you today. First, the musical. Thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson, we have for you Mik Ado About Nothing (Back to Rivets, Part 1). Written by Sue Anderson and Mark Keller, this was produced by the RISFA players, and performed at Boskone 14 (1977). Thanks Mark!

The Irish fanzine today is another issue of Pot Pourri, to wit, Pot Pourri 8. It's John Berry's SAPSzine, this one from August of 1959. Read your Irish zines! They are homework for worldcon (sort of). Scanning also by Mark Olson.

Joe Siclari has been scanning newszines. Today we have 8 more, across 3 titles, from 3 continents. First up, Bay Area News #3, from 1946. It opens with a discussion of the controversial "open letter to the NFFF".

Next, we have 2 regular and one special issue of the Merv Binns newsletter, Australian SF News.We've added the 1st issue, the 50th issue and the special issue  given away at Seacon in 1979. Headline? "Come and See The Largest Coathanger in the World!"

Finally, there are 2 issues of a Checkpoint  from England. These two were edited by Darroll Pardoe, and are from the mid-70s. Three titles. Three continents. Thanks Joe!

October 19, 2018
From the days of early fandom, thanks to Joe Siclari's scanning, we bring you today the complete run (4 issues) of Sully Roberd's Fantasy Fictioneer. This is from 1939-1940, and has the subheading, "Official organ of the Illini Fantasy Fictioneers, sponsors of the 1940 Chicago Science-Fiction Convention!". It has articles by Erle Korshak, Bob Tucker, 4sj, Don Wollheim and others. Conventions were still a very new thing for science fiction.

The rest of the materials on Discon I  are up now. Today's addition consists of 2 more progress reports, a hotel form, an art show form (from Bjo Trimble's Art Show Project!) and the Hugo ballot. They are here - http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Discon/w63-pubs.html. Scanning by Mark Olson.

George Phillies sent us a PDF of October 2018's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. I also managed to miss September while on vacation. That's up now too. Thanks George.

October 18, 2018
Three very different fanzine treats today, all scanned by Joe Siclari (and thanks, Joe!). First, for the Poul Anderson fans (and who amongst us is NOT a Poul Anderson fan?), we have Smorgasbord. He never pubbed any other issues of this fanzine, but here in issue 1, you will find poetry (including translations of old Norse poetry), and thoughtful articles. It's a fascinating look at some of the things Poul thought interesting.

Still on the west coast, we have the 1944 article by T. Bruce Yerke, Memoirs of a Superfluous Fan. This was intended to be in multiple parts, but he only completed part 1 of his life in fandom. If you want another view of what LASFS was like (besides Laney's tirades), check it out.

The last of the fanzine offerings today comes from 1934-35. We have two issues of Charlie Hornig's fanzine, The Fantasy Fan. This is amongst our oldest fanzines on line, and for me, it's the oldest fanzine we've scanned pubbed by someone I've known. This is the fanzine that got the young fan a job as editor of Wonder Stories. Number 18 is the last issue. Fantasy Fan was produced on a monthly basis for all 18 issues, regular as clockwork. Charlie was a nice guy, even when faced with being talked over by Julie Schwartz.

For your time travelling convention pleasure, today we have a batch of publications from the 1963 Worldcon, Discon I. Scanned by Mark Olson, you can see the Fan's Guide to Washington, the first 3 progress reports, and a fabulous Convention Annual, chock full of pictures and the occasional snarky comment in the photo key. Photos by the incomparable Jay Kay Klein. It's all to be found here - http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Discon/w63-pubs.html. Check out the way cool photo of the Stopas on the back cover. Thanks Mark!

September 18, 2018
The Heicon  materials are all up now, including scans of receipts and such that you can find in the Heicon photo section. There are more Heicon photos here.

What comes after Heicon? Noreascon 1  of course. After all, it was the 1971 worldcon. We've started adding publications for N1, starting with 3 progress reports - http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Noreascon/w71-pubs.html. More to come for N1 as we go forward. Scanning for Heicon and N1 by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

We've also added 3 more issues of Space Magazine. This was published by the American Rocketry Association but was a fanzine. First issue has 3 science fiction articles, including one by John W. Campbell. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Last but not least today, we have another musical. This is Galactic Gaieties 3  by Steve and Virginia Schultheis. There are a couple pages of comment up front, and the primary material starts afterward. This was performed at the Pittcon in 1960, with cast including Dave Kyle, Roger Sims, Lou Tabakow, and Wally Weber. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

September 15, 2018
Ireland and Germany for you today. Thanks to Mark Olson's scanning, we have the program book and some PRs from the Heicon, the 1970 worldcon held in Heidelberg, Germany. More to come and you can see them here - http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Heicon/w70-pubs.html.

Joe Siclari has scanned more Irish fanzines. You can find them all at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Irish_Fandom/. Today we uploaded 1) the 8th edition of the Enchanted Duplicator, with the Dan Steffan illos, 2) The Harp Stateside  by Walt Willis, 3) Through Darkest Ireland with Knife Fork and Spoon  by Chuck Harris, 4) two issues of Ken Bulmer's Steam, 5)Inphantasmagoria, a one shot by Walt Willis and 6) The Enchantment, a 1989 trip report by Walt Willis. I have a particular fondness for that last. The Enchantment  was a trip report about Walt and Madeleine's trip to Tropicon VII, the only convention I ever chaired. I thought it was swell.

September 14, 2018
Lots of interesting material today, from YouTube, Worldcon, fanzine fandom and even a musical. Let's start with YouTube. Today's offering can be found at https://youtu.be/2awsfD6eGqI. It's an audio interview of Lee and Barry Gold, enhanced with 35ish images. From the writeup: "Lee and Barry Gold tell stories about Los Angeles fandom and filking in the 1960s...there are charming anecdotes about Poul and Karen Anderson, LASFS, and a great story about Bruce Pelz and Ted Johnstone obtaining permission from John Myers Myers to print the Silverlock songs." If you're interested in filk, especially the history of filk, you'll like this.

The Worldcon entry today is courtesy of the scanning of Mark Olson. We've added PR4 and PR5 to the Noreascon 2 publications  list. Thanks Mark.

Mark has also been scanning more fanzines. He's sent us 4 more issues of Buz Busby's Cry of the Nameless. These are issues 155-158 from 1961-1962.

There's also issue 8  of Luna'  by Frank Dietz. Thanks Mark!

From Joe Siclari's scanner come more fine fanzines from Irish Fandom. Today, it's 4 additional issues of John Berry and ATom's Retribution  from from the late 1950s/early 1960s.

If you like parody zines and convention running, you should look at Sad3Party, a sideways look at convention planning. Better read an issue of Mad3Party  afterwards, lest you keep the wrong earworm. (Also from Joe.)

Today's musical is from 1961. Captain Future Meets Gilbert & Sullivan or Alas! Who Loves a Spaceman?  It was produced with a stellar West coast cast, including Bruce Pelz, Bjo Trimble, and Ron Ellik, and was written by Steve and Virginia Schultheis. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Anyone up for a revival?

September 11, 2018
Ever wish you had memories of the first Worldcon in 1939? Now you can relive the highlight by reading Sam Moskowitz's New Fandom. Issue 6 is virtually a proceedings of what went on, including speeches, attendee lists, finances and more. Not surprising since New Fandom was the organizer of the convention. Issue 7 is also online. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Today, thanks to the scanning of Joe Siclari, we have another 5 issues of John Berry and ATom's Retribution. This batch include the last issue, #17.

We have another of Gus Willmorth's Fantasy Advertisers. This one is from 1947. You can find V2#3 at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Fantasy_Advertiser/Fantasy_Advertiser0203-01.html.

September 9, 2018
Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #423 (6.3 MB) and #66.3 (5.5 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. This batch completes the last of the archive issues. Thanks, Dale! We're looking forward to more new issues.

September 7, 2018
Worldcon 76  is over, and we are now anticipating Dublin 2019! To that end, we are focused on adding more publications from Irish Fandom. Today, thanks to the scanning of Joe Siclari, 5 issues (and an index) of Retribution, edited by John Berry and Arthur Thomson. Retribution was the official organ of the Goon Defective Agency, or G.D.A. The G.D.A. is probably the most famous fannishly mythological organization created in science fiction fan circles. There's artwork by ATom, articles by Walt Willis, Robert Bloch, Harry Warner and others, a speech by Poul Anderson, and above all, the doings of the legendary G.D.A.

Need a convention fix? How about a Worldcon fix? If the Worldcon you're faunching after was held in 1980, you're in luck. Thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson, we have added three Noreascon Two  publications. The pubs are listed here at: http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Noreascon/w80-pubs.html. You'll find the Memory Book, the Souvenir Book and Progress Report 3. Leslie Turek chaired Noreascon Two, and it was delightful.

Today, we also added the September issue  of CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl! Somehow, we had inexplicably failed to add all the issues from 2015 and 2016. My fault, and that's now been remedied.

September 6, 2018
More Cry of the Nameless!  Thanks to Mark Olson's scanning, we have 11 more issues of this important zine. I cannot imagine how much work it must have been to turn these out once a month. Just the production, collation, and mailing would have been brutal. Issues average about 50 pages each, and January 1960  was over 100 pages. Features writers like John Berry, Dean Grennell, Terry Carr, Harry Warner, rich brown, Art Rapp....

Still working on the newszines. Joe has scanned three more issue of early 90s Ansibles. Thanks Joe.

September 4, 2018
A real treat today. We have 8 issues from the beginning of the major period of Cry of the Nameless. Edited by Buz Busby, this fanzine began as a clubzine for the Seattle "Nameless Ones" club. Many of these issues have columns by John Berry, articles by Buz and/or Elinor Busby, Wally Weber, art by ATom, Terry Carr's column "Fandom Harvest", and more. Scanning of these issues (all from 1959) by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

For the Tucker fans amongst us (and who isn't?), we have 5 more issues of his fanzine Le Zombie. These are from the 40s. There are some interesting photos in issue 58 -- see them at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Le_Zombie/lezom58-06a.html. Issue 55 has a list  of fans (and their ranks) in uniform. Remember, this was 1943. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Continuing our newszine focus, Joe has also scanned 6 more issues of the Australian newszine, Thyme. These are from the early 90s, and some include Merv Binn's Australian SF Newsletter. Thanks Joe!

September 2, 2018
Thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson, we've added 14 issues of Shangri L'affaires, dating from 1962 to 1992, published by the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society. Today's addition includes 4 from the "C" series and 10 from the "B" series. There's a lot of content here!

A couple of choice fanzines scanned by Joe Siclari. First, the Spring 1946 Acolyte 14, edited by Francis T. Laney and Sam Russell. It has a Rotsler cover, and an interesting mix of articles, poetry and reviews.

Second, is the very first issue of Granfalloon, edited by Linda Eyster (Linda Bushyager) and Suzanne Thompkins. This completes the run on FANAC.ORG of a focal zine of the time. Thanks to Linda Bushyager for supplying the copy, and to Joe Siclari for the scans.

Evelyn Leeper has sent us her report on the 2017 Philcon. Thanks Evelyn!

September 1, 2018
Rich Lynch sent us some photos of both LoneStarCon 3  and Sasquan. The Lonestar photos included a few taken of the baseball game that was played (indoors) in homage to the game played at the first Worldcon in 1939. Thanks Rich!

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #422 (3.4 MB), #66.1 (5.3 MB), and #66B (4.6 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

August 23, 2018
Gary Farber sent us a scan of Leonard Moffatt's 1950 Fan Directory, sponsored The Fantasy Foundation and The National Fantasy Fan Federation. You can find it here with other "Who's Who" publications - http://www.fanac.org/Fannish_Reference_Works/WhosWho/index.html. As you look through the pages, you realize how few fans there were. It's a proud and lonely thing. This is the first scanned pub from Gary. Thanks Gary! Looking forward to many more.

Worldcon is over and we have a whack of photos for you (where whack=100). These were taken by Rich Lynch, Mark Olson, Joe Siclari, Lisa Hayes and Edie Stern (me) and I suspect more are coming from others. Especially note the photos from our pictorial project "1000 Years of Fandom", started by Mark Olson. We actually captured 6707 years of fannish experience. You'll find them all at the Con Jose photo index, or just find Con Jose under Worldcons.

George Phillies sent us a PDF of the latest issue  of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's Tightbeam, edited by Bob Jennings. Thanks George!

August 22, 2018
George Phillies sent us a PDFs of August 2018's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

August 7, 2018
Today's unusual offering is fannish musicals. I've put together a new section for these at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Musicals, and added John Pomeranz's Smoflahoma!, subtitled "The Discon III Memorial Musical Review". We've also linked to Midwestside Story, the musical written and produced by the Minnesota Science Fiction Society and performed at Minicon 12. Thanks Deny Lien and Matt Strait for making it possible!

More Niekas  today. Mark Olson has scanned for us issues 3 and 4 of Ed Meskys' important fanzine. Thanks Mark!

In the way of Irish fan publications, Joe Siclari has scanned a potful of Pot Pourri, John Berry's zine from the early 60s. We have 12 new issues, plus the index to the first 25 issues. Thanks Joe!

August 5, 2018
It's a YouTube day. Thanks to the Southern California Institute for Fan Interests (SCIFI), we've added a video of the Guest of Honor speeches from the 1984 Worldcon, LACon II. Fan Guest of Honor Dick Eney talks about his life outside of fandom (which is full of interesting anecdotes from his overseas experiences), and Gordy Dickson talks about his life, his mother, and the inspiration for his Childe cycle of stories. The last part of Gordy's speech is particularly poignant now. You can watch it on https://youtu.be/tv-B1Gqta14  or just search on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/c/fanacfanhistory.

Filling in the fanzine blanks. Thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson, we have added issue 5  of Ed Mesky's Niekas. This one has an article and artwork by Poul Anderson, and a reprint of a SAPSzine by Karen Anderson. Choice.

Mark also scanned the November 1946 issue  of Gus Wilmorth's Fantasy Advertiser. Contents by Forry Ackerman, Walt Leibscher, Walter Gillings, and Art Widner. Thanks Mark!

More newszines today. Newszines from Australia, the UK and the US, all scanned by Joe Siclari (thanks Joe!). We've added 28 of them. From Australia, we have issue 4  from 1948 of Vol Molesworth's Sydney Futurian. We also have 24 issues(!) of Graham Stone's Science Fiction News.

We have an April 1950 issues of Ron Friedman's Science Fiction Weekly. This title didn't last too long. Also, we've completed the set of Bob Tucker's Science Fiction Newsletter  with the addition of issue 26 and the supplements to issues 28 and 29.

August 4, 2018
Quite a few zines to tell you about today. Both Mark Olson and Joe Siclari have been scanning.

We have two issues of Bob Tucker's Le Zombie. Joe has scannied issues 57 and 60 from 1944-45. Issue 60  includes a proposed constitution for the NFFF.

We also have a newsletter from the NFFF  in it's early days. Joe has scanned Vol 5, No. 6  from September 1945 for your reading pleasure.

During Harlan Ellison's fannish days, he was indeed a fan editor. Check out Dimensions 14  from 1954, which includes an article by Fletcher Pratt on the Harold Shea novels. Scans by Joe Siclari.

Mark Olson has scanned a huge number of pages in 7 issues of Gus Wilmorth's Fantasy Advertiser. There's an article by Arthur C. Clarke taken from a paper he delivered to the British Interplanetary Society on page 15 of Vol 5, No 1.

From the scanning of Mark Olson (thanks Mark!) we have 7 issues of Gus Wilmorth's Fantasy Advertiser, running from 1947 to 1952. We also have the continuation under a new name - Science Fiction Advertiser. Roy Squires edited some of that title. The titles say "Advertiser" but these are chock full of interesting articles, Example: Taking Science Fiction Seriously  by Reginald Bretnor.

We have one issue of a newszine, and it's a new title for fanac.org as well. It's issue 2 of Graham England's Don't Panic  from 1979. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Some unusual Worldcon ephemera for you today. We have hotel cards and postcards from 3 different Worldcons, spread over 58 years. From the 1961 Worldcon, Seacon, comes this spiffy Hotel Postcard  and Reservation Card. This is old enough that it predates zip codes. From the 1965 Worldcon, Loncon II, this Hotel Reservation Card. Check the prices. And, from the 2019 Dublin worldcon, this attractive Postcard. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

George Phillies sent us a PDF of John Thiel's latest Ionisphere. This is the Bulletin of the National Fantasy Fan Federation Fan-Pro Coordinating Activity. Thanks George.

July 28, 2018
A varied collection of fannish material for you today.

First, I've set up a spot for proposed classifications  of fantasy and science fiction. There are two here so far, and there's at least one more that will be here eventually. Scanning by Mark Olson.

In the category of fanzines, we have several new offerings. From Andrew Porter, we have 12 issues of his fanzine Twentieth Century Unlimited. These were originally distributed in FAPA and scanning is by Mark Olson.

Today's progress in the way of Irish publications is in the form of two Walt Willis titles. We've added two issues of Woz, done for OMPA, and two issues of Pamphrey, done for FAPA. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Mark Olson also scanned the Summer 1964 issue  of Inside. This one is unique as it is combined with Riverside Quarterly. Sam McDonald has written a nice description of the name and editor changes from Inside  to Inside  and a summary will make its way onto the index pages shortly.

Lastly, another interesting item scanned by Mark Olson. This one is the IguanaCon Operations Manual  used by the operations staff at the 1978 Worldcon, IguanaCon.

July 27, 2018
We've added a convention report  by Evelyn Leeper on the 2013 Philcon. Thanks Evelyn!

July 24, 2018
Yesterday, we added more fannish video to the Youtube station. From the wilds of 1997, and thanks to the kind permission of Chairman Karen Meschke and of ALAMO (Austin Literary Arts Maintenance Organization), you can now see the 1997 Hugos, with the entertaining preamble by Toastmaster Neal Barrett, Jr. The video is up in two pieces at https://youtu.be/4RpBF1wx5S8  and https://youtu.be/5fsrBmBTmaY. There are many departed friends (as well as many very much alive friends) here as award announcers and recipients. Among the luminaries are Pat Cadigan, Ellen Datlow, Gardner Dozois, GoH Don Maitz, Robert Silverberg, Michael Moorcock, Connie Willis (with at least one Harrison Ford joke), Algis Budrys and George RR Martin. If the links are too gnarly, you can do what I do. Just go to the channel and look. It's at youtube.com/c/fanacfanhistory 

Not all fannish publications fit into tidy categories of fanzines or con pubs. So we have organized a new category of unusual items, for things that don't fit in other places. You can find it at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Unusual_Items.html. Our first entry is The Game of Fandom, from 1964, by Dian and Bruce Pelz, greatly expanded by Lee Gold. Here you can find the rules as well as the gameboard. There'll be more to come, and we may move some stuff around so don't be too surprised. Thanks to Lee Gold for her kind permission and to Mark Olson for the scanning.

Are graveyards your thing? Check out these newly uploaded Howard DeVore business cards. There are more on the previous page too, albeit not involving graveyards. Scans by Joe Siclari.

In our quest to make more Irish fan writing available, we have added our first issue of John Berry's Pot Pourri  from 1960. Hopefully more of these to come. We've also added a promo for This Goon For Hire. Scan by Joe Siclari.

Not Irish, but British. You can see the 3 issues of Walter Gillings' Cosmos, with pieces by Arthur C. Clarke, Judith Merrill, and others. Cosmos  only ran these 3 issues. Scan by Joe Siclari.

We're moving still on adding 1943 fanzines. Today it's Al Ashley's Nova. We've added issue 3. Scan by Joe Siclari.

Another zine of 1943 interest is the poetry zine Sappho. This zine from the early 40s was edited by Bill Watson and George Ebey. We've put up 4 issues. Scans by Joe Siclari.

From the 1950's we have 2 issues of Belle and Frank Dietz's Ground Zero. Want to know what the 1958 Disclave was like? Here's your chance on page 9  of issue 2. Scan by Joe Siclari.

Two more issues of Ron Smith's Inside  today, thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson. These are issues 17 and 52 for those keeping track. We'll get an explanation of the numbering up soon. It's not completely intuitive.

July 19, 2018
George Phillies sent us a PDFs of July 2018's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

I've been remiss in posting updates, even though we have been putting more material on the site. Here's what's new since the last update.

First, we posted 4 more issues of the Walt Willis zine, Hyphen. Those are issues 15-18, dated from 1955 - 1957. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Issue 3  of Jack Chalker's Mirage  is up. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Fanfare 1  is up, edited by Francis Paro. Fanfare  later had other editors, including Art Widner and Earl Singleton. I think this was also scanned by Joe.

Patty Peters sent us 6 photos of (mostly) Detroit fans at Fan Fair 3, in Toronto. Thanks Patty!

Joe also scanned issues 2-4 of New Frontiers  from the early 60s.

Mark Olson has been scanning Inside  (first series) and Inside  (second series). We've add 4 issues altogther, with 2 from each series. Thanks Mark! These are long zines. The second series is a decade later than the first and has a different editor.

July 14, 2018
Yesterday, we put up a new FANAC Update  newsletter. Today, we added some of the older newsletters so that inquiring minds can contemplate the changes in the website. You can find them at http://fanac.org/fanzines/FANAC-Updates/. You might notice that there's a gap between the early newsletters and the later ones. The updates at that time went out to individuals via phone and email, and probably carrier pigeon. I think this is better.

Two more issues of Ron Smith's Inside  today, thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson. These are issues 14 and 15 for those keeping track.

Taral Wayne sent us a PDF of his Perzine Rat Sass 9  which we have added to the Rat Sass index. Thanks Taral.

July 13, 2018
There's a new FANAC Update newsletter today. You may have received it via email. If not you can find it at http://www.fanac.org/FANAC_Inc/update0718.pdf. If you did not receive the newsletter and would like to, you can get on our mailing list by filling in the form on the home page of fanac.org.

We have more from the scanning of Mark Olson today. We have 2 parts of The British Fanzine Bibliography  done in the 70s by Peter Roberts, covering fanzines from 1951 to 1970. Over time, we plan to corral other bibliographic efforts here as well.

There are also 4 more issues of Ron Smith's Inside. Thanks Mark!

July 10, 2018
Sorry all, but I screwed up yesterday and missed the fact that we already had a number of issues of Jane's Fighting Smofs  online. I've corralled them all in one directory now. The proper link is http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/FightingSmofs/.

July 9, 2018
A long update today, full of choice material.

Next year is the Dublin worldcon, and we're supporting it by putting some focus on Irish Fandom and the Wheels of If. We will be scanning as many classic Irish fanzines as possible, and making them available via a central webpage. We've started. The webpage is Irish Fandom Publications. You can see we've linked to zines like Hyphen, and are starting to add one-shots too. Towards that goal, today we've added the following zines (all scanning by Joe Siclari):

-- 6 more issues of Hyphen, issues 7-9, 10-11, 13-14

-- This Goon for Hire  by John Berry

-- The Thomson Saga  by John Berry

-- 7 issues of Toto, the Walt Willis reprint zine. There are also TOCs for the issues we don't have online yet. They're marked with "index only" in the comment section.

Added the July issue  of CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl!

Back to classic zines. Joe also scanned issue 3  of Fan Slants  from 1944, and 2 issues of Nick and Noreen Falasca's 1958 fanzine about (against?) WSFS Inc, Fandom's Burden, completing that run. He also scanned issue #1 of Bob Bloch & Bob Tucker's Science Fiction World  from 1955.

Two new fanzine titles today. We've added isse 6 and 7 of Luna', by Frank Dietz. This fanzine started life as Luna, and changed its name to Luna' with issue 6. There's also a completely different fanzine called Luna Monthly  by Ann Dietz. It's a little confusing, but there are far more confusing fannish naming practices in the world. Consistency has never been a preoccupation of faneds. Scans by Mark Olson.

The second title is Jane's Fighting Smofs, a fanzine dedicated to convention bidding by Jane and Scott Dennis from the 1980s. We have 3 issues up so far, with 2 from Mark's scanner and 1 from Joe's.

July 8, 2018
Four more issues today of Ron Smith's Inside. Issues 6-9 have been added, thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson. Includes articles by Ross Rocklynne, Paul Blaisdell, and part of a story by Harlan Ellison among others. These issues are from 1954-1955.

With the addition of issues 7 and 8 of Edward Ludwig and Sam Sackett's Fantastic Worlds", we now have the complete run on line. These issues, and the rest of today's classic fanzines, were scanned by Joe Siclari.

We've upgraded our issue 40  of Julius Unger's Fantasy Fiction Field. We now have most of the photos that were distributed with the fanzine. This issue is a special Denvention issue, from 1941. Alas, some of the photos are faded now. Issue is courtesy of Andrew Porter.

Another newszine. Added the August 1973 issue  of Norstrilian News, produced by Robin Johnson. This issue announces that the Australia bid has won the right to host the Worldcon for 1975. Remember who chaired Aussiecon One? It was Robin Johnson.

And now for something quite different. We've added a photo album of The Cult. You can see it here - http://www.fanac.org/Fan_Photo_Album/c06-p00.html. Scanning by Joe Siclari, and album courtesy of Andrew Porter.

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #418 (8.3 MB), #63 (5.2 MB), and #64.3 (5.2 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

July 6, 2018
More Hyphens  today. We've added issues 34 and 35, thanks to Joe Siclari's scanning prowess, along with issue 63 of Tucker's Le Zombie.

Issue 3 has an article by William Nolan on Ray Bradbury, from the perspective of Bradbury's first 13 years in the field. Thanks for the scanning Mark!

More Shangri L'Affaires  today too. 11 issues of the B series from issue 18 to 52, almost all of them from the 1940s. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Joe also scanned 4 more issues of Ted White's Stellar. These are issues 9&10, 21 &22. Thanks Joe!

Joe also scanned 6 issues of FMZ Digest, edited by Arthur Joquel II. These are from 1941.

Lest you think we've given up on the news, we've added issues 1 and 3 of STEF Headlines, edited by Walter Coslet. These cardzines are from 1951. There are also 3 issues of the Daily Dynamic, the newsletter for the 1958 Worldcon, Solacon.

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #417 (3.7 MB), #62.5A (5.5 MB), and #62.5B (5.2 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

Catching up on the materials that Mark Olson has scanned, we have 4 titles represented today.

First, we have an issue of Fandom's Burden. This one is called Son of Fandom's Burden. It's a 1958 zine by Nick and Noreen Falasca, where they express their displeasure with WSFS, Inc.

Next, an issue of Wally Weber's SAPSzine, Key Hole  from 2001.

We also have 3 more issues (completing the run) of the Journal of Science Fiction, from the early 50s. This was the fanzine of the University of Chicago Science Fiction Club, edited by Lester Fried and Ed Wood.

Last, we have 3 issues of Fantastic Worlds, edited by Edward Ludwig or Sam Sackett. This is also from the early 50s.

Thanks Mark, for all the scanning!

June 28, 2018
Mark Olson and Joe Siclari have been scanning again.

Thanks to Joe, you can now find issues 11-16 of 4sj and Morojo's Voice of the Imagi-Nation  added to the list. These are issues from 1941, with some cool covers. You can also see issue 1 of Mel Brown's Fan Slants  from 1943, with articles by Laney, Daugherty and others.

Mark has been working on Abstract. We put up issues 7 and 8, which are 126 pages between them. Includes features by Bob Bloch, Dean Grennell, Harlan Ellison (*sigh*), Terry Carr and others. Thanks Mark.

June 24, 2018
A frothy bit of miscellany today for you. First, there's an additional issue of Bob Tucker's Le Zombie. It's #21.

We're also working on our 1943 fanzines. We have Beak Taylor's 8-Ball  from Canada, and Len Moffat's Asteroid. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

Not from 1943, but from 1941, we've added 4 issues of the A series of Shangri L'Affaires. This was an Ackerman/Morojo effort that was sometimes distributed inside Voice of the Imagi-Nation  aka VOM. Scanning (and more impressive, finding, these issues) by Joe Siclari.

Slightly later in time, we have the first 6 issues of Peter Vorzimer's Abstract. You'll find contributors here like Terry Carr, Dick Geis, Peter Graham and letter writers like Bob Bloch, Bob Tucker, and Dean Grennell. Scanning by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

Another of today's new titles is Ted White's Stellar. You can see 6 issues from the late 50s. Contributors include SaM, Robert Madle, and Dick Geis.

George Phillies sent us a PDF of the latest issue  of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's Tightbeam, edited by Bob Jennings. Thanks George!

June 23, 2018
Feeling a lack of humor in the world? Try these. We have put up 4 more issues of Walt Willis's Hyphen. Joe Siclari has scanned issues 30-33.

We've also added a couple of Bob Tucker's Le Zombie. The new ones are issues 2 and 61. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

At last. FAPA 26 is completely up. This was a 461 page mailing. Scanning by Mark Olson. Thanks again, Mark. To pseudoquote Tom Purdom, FAPA is the internet of the time, but slow. This completes the 1943 FAPA issues. We're getting ready for the 2019 Retro Hugos which will cover material published in 1943.

June 22, 2018
Two treats today. First, we have put up the fabled fannish musical The Mimeo Man. The book is by Moshe Feder, lyrics by Moshe Feder, Debbie Notkin and Eli Cohen, and music by Meredith Wilson. I wish we had a video of one of the productions to show you. If anyone has one, please get in touch.

Second, we have a new YouTube piece. It's at https://youtu.be/iAliwsNZ_1E. This one is an audio of a conversation in the Philcon 2017 consuite between Tom Purdom and Chip Delany. From the Youtube description: "Chip Delany and Tom Purdom talk informally about their experiences in science fiction in this audio tape with images. You'll hear some startling stories about the Nebulas, and about writers such as Judy Merrill, Walter Miller, and Fred Pohl. Tom talks about his introduction to science fiction and fandom in the 50s, and the fannish equivalent of the internet. This is a low key, entertaining session, held in the Philcon con suite. It's an interesting take on how different fandom is for these two authors". There is some choppiness in the audiFAPA 26 o during the last 15 minutes.

More of FAPA 26  is online. The last of it is coming soon. Today, we also added the June issue  of CyberCozen. Thanks Leybl!

George Phillies sent us a PDFs of June 2018's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. Thanks George.

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #416 (4.8 MB), #62.1B (5.1 MB), and #62.3 (4.9 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

June 18, 2018
I hope there are some FAPA fans out there. FAPA 25, September 1943, is complete now. FAPA 26, December 1943 is well begun. FAPA 26 is over 400 pages long, so it may take a while. Included, and already are online are some interesting pieces. For example, Jack Speer's In Memoriam - Sprit of Foo Foo  and Art Widner's 54 page fanzine Fanfare 10. FAPA 25 and 26 were scanned by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

June 12, 2018

Two more newszines today, with hot off-the-presses news from 1951 and 1952. These are two issues of Clyde Hanback's Stfanews. It only went for three issues. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

Joe also scanned the 1955 Bob Tucker Fan Survey. This was Bob's second fan survey. It asks not only demographic questions, but questions on religion, fan activity, and opinions on the future. Do you have what it takes to be an actifan in 1955? Read this survey and decide. Thanks Joe!

George Phillies sent us a PDF of John Thiel's latest Ionisphere. This is the Bulletin of the National Fantasy Fan Federation Fan-Pro Coordinating Activity. Thanks George.

In preparation for this year's Worldcon in San Jose, we've added some of the daily newszines from Con Jose, the 2002 Worldcon. The pubs can be found at http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/ConJose/x02-pubs.html. These are from the backlog, so I'm not sure who to thank for them.

May 30, 2018
Phew. Thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson, we have FAPA 24  on line. This includes THE FIRST PUBLICATION of Lovecraft's "The Funghi From Yuggoth" Cycle by Bill Evans - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/FAPA-Misc/FAPA-Misc11-01.html.

This June 1943 issue of FAPA was very large - with 35 zines under the covers, additionally including several Donald Wollheim zines, Doc Lowndes, Harry Warner Jr, Bob Tucker, Art Widner, Al Ashley, Jack Speer, Walt Liebscher, and the like.

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #414 (6.0 MB), #61 (5.1 MB), and #61.3 (4.6 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

May 26, 2018
Thanks to the scanning of Mark Olson, we have FAPA 23  on line. There are a couple of zines missing from the mailing, so if anyone has it and is willing to scan them for us, that would very welcome. We're working towards having 1943 material on line for the 2019 Retro Hugos. Thanks for the scanning Mark!

There are photos to brag on today too. Check out the SmofCon 11  photos that Mark scanned. This is the 1994 SmofCon. Hard to believe we're now up to 36.

May 24, 2018

May 15, 2018
Interesting curiosities today, both listed under Fan Artifacts. First, a quote card which started in the 1950s, with signatures of some BNFs like Terry Carr and Lee Hoffman - http://www.fanac.org/Fan_Artifacts/q01-p00.html. Scanning by Joe Siclari.

Second, a prepublication solicitation by Hugo Gernsback (Hugo Gernsback!) for subscribers to his new magazine - Amazing Stories. Yes, this is a one page mailing (presumably to readers of other magazines) to encourage them to subscribe to a new kind of magazine - one that exclusively offered scientifiction stories. The first issue of Amazing Stories came out in April 1926. Scanning for this by Bill Burns. You can find it at http://www.fanac.org/Fan_Artifacts/a01-p00.html.

Thanks Joe and Bill! Special thanks to the Merrill Collection for allowing us to photograph the Gernsback material.

May 14, 2018
Our thanks to Lee Breakiron for providing the missing pages of Acolyte 11! When you're seeking missing pages for a 1945 fanzine, there are not many folks that can help. But, with Lee's help, now it's online in all its glory. Thanks Lee!

We've added some of Mark Olson's 1994 Armadillocon  photos. There's a great shot of fans engaged in bat-watching, and there's one (somewhat hard to see I fear) shot of the bats themselves. Thanks Mark!

May 12, 2018
Some photos and more convention pubs, all thanks to Mark Olson's scanning.

First, we have 17 photos from Armadillocon 9, 1987. Lots of great dead dog photos here.

Next, we have a slew of convention publications from Noreascon III. You'll find all the PRs, the souvenir book, the memory book and the ballots. The site selection ballot  includes the excruciatingly painful bidder's questionnaire that was given to the Orlando and the DC bids. This later gave rise to the 'tar and feather' ceremony for the originator of the questionnaire at MagiCon. As you all may know, Mark Olson was the chair of Noreascon III.

May 11, 2018
We've added issues 19 and 20 of Linda Bushyager's Granfalloon  to the site. Scanning is courtesy of Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

May 10, 2018
Working some of the scanned materials backlog, and today we have a slew of interesting materials from the 1962 worldcon, Chicon III. You can find a list of the publications at http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Chicon/w62-pubs.html  and it includes such interesting items as the photo filled convention annual, put together by Jay Kay Klein, the Progress Reports, several of which have articles about Theodore Sturgeon, and the invitation to a special reception for Walt and Madeline Willis. Great stuff. Scanning courtesy of Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

May 8, 2018

We've added 18 photos from the collection of Edie Stern and Joe Siclari, from 1979 to 1983. Most of these are of the South Florida fan group, with a few from Disclave and Lunacon in 1979. We were very young, all of us. You can see the Florida photos at here  and here. For the Disclave and Lunacon photos, look under those conventions on http://www.fanac.org/Other_Cons/. Joe, thanks for scanning and identifying everyone!

April 28, 2018
We've uploaded another Worldcon recording to Youtube today. Thanks to SCIFI, we have the Hugo and special tributes presentation at the 1984 Worldcon, LAcon II. From the Youtube writeup - "Toastmaster Robert Bloch's introductory remarks are tantamount to standup comedy, and the video also includes several special and moving tributes along with the Hugos. The first tribute is presented by Robert Silverberg and Harlan Ellison to fan and editor Larry Shaw (who died within the next year) and the second to Robert Bloch himself. There's also some fun with Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle on stage having to do with a rocket shaped object." You can find it at https://youtu.be/bUBL5jOSVok 

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #411 (7.6 MB), #57 (2.6 MB), and #58 (5.1 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

It's all up now and you can find it at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html. The links to other sites will bring you to the first page of the fanzine.

Ok guys, the Retro Hugo fan candidates have been named. With the help of Jack Weaver (Fanac.org's Webmaster for the first 20 years}, we are putting a good list of reading materials together for your consideration. Go to http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html  for the list. What's novel here? We're pulling out individual articles and letters written by the Fan Writer nominees and giving you links. We're also giving you links to fanzines on other sites. This is a lot of work, so I sure hope you guys are taking advantage of it.

March 29, 2018
More bounty from SCIFI, thanks to Jerome Scott (Director of Projects for SCIFI in LA)! We've put up another talk from the 1964 worldcon. Fritz Leiber speaks on "Monsters and Monster Lovers". This talk starts lightly but ends up seriously (and gets what sounds like a standing ovation from the crowd). From the Youtube blurb: "In this interesting audio with images, Fritz Leiber speaks eloquently about his favorite literary monsters (from Yog Sothoth to the forest in Peer Gynt), the relationship of science fiction to traditional monsters, why we are drawn to these characters, and on horror in a time of war. The first 10 minutes or so are a loving listing of characters, and the meat of the talk starts after that." https://youtu.be/c1B_EEFq1Bw 

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #409 (4.0 MB), #55.5 (5.3 MB), and #56 (5.6 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

A (very) belated thank you to Sam McDonald for providing the list of 1942 fanzines available from the Rusty Hevelin collection. With the list of fanzines published in 1942 generated by Joe Siclari and the software support of Mark Olson, we used that to put up this list for Retro Hugo nominators - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/1942fanzinesconsideration.html. Thank you Sam. Sorry the appreciation comes so late.

George Phillies sent us a PDFs of March 2018's issue of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's The National Fantasy Fan. He's also sent us a PDF of the latest issue  of The National Fantasy Fan Federation's Tightbeam, edited by Bob Jennings. Thanks George!

March 13, 2018
I know it's a little late, but we now have a page of 1942 fanzines for the Retro nominations with individual issue links, not only to FANAC.ORG, but to other sites if they have them and we don't. It would have been up earlier, but we lost power in the storms (NY) and didn't get it back for 9 days. Listing of the fanzines by Joe Siclari and software for the integrated list by Mark Olson. Thanks guys! http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/1942fanzinesconsideration.html.

Something different for you on Youtube. Thanks to the technical wizardry of David Dyer-Bennet and Video Archeology, we have a brief MAC clip of the awards being presented for the masquerade. It's under 8 minutes and shows all the winners, including some very beautiful costumes and a most impressive Martian. You'll also see presenters Sally Rand and Bruce Pelz, and some snappy footwork by Filthy Pierre. It's at https://youtu.be/ZRezxlB8uZg  .

More photos coming from Ted Krulik. Here are a few from I-CON 20  in 2001. Thanks Ted!

March 12, 2018

Helsinki Worldcon photos today. We have uploaded the rest of Frank Olynyk's photos, and you can find them all at http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Helsinki/x17-p00.html. Note that there's a change of directory since yesterday. Use this new link. There are 123 photos altogether, including a number of folk that don't normally come to US conventions. Thanks Frank!

February 28, 2018
Mostly photos today, and one fanzine. First, the fanzine comes courtesy of Kirby Bartlett-Sloan. It's an issue of Arkfandom, a 1977 clubzine by Margaret Middleton. I understand that this started out as a clubzine for two Little Rock clubs - The Little Rock Science Fiction Society and Fantasy Fellowship. We'll have more issues coming up soon. Thanks Kirby!

There are a couple of photos from Kirby as well. These are from Illinois fandom. Perhaps there will be more of these too.

From Balticon 40  in 2006, we have half a dozen photos from Ted Krulik. Thanks Ted!

Last but not least, we're starting to upload photos from this year's worldcon in Helsinki. You can see 45 photos from the autograph sessions taken by Frank Olynyk here - http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Helsinki-Worldcon75/x17-p00.html. Also more to come. Thanks Frank!

We've added some photos and some seriously old fanzines. Ted Krulik has provided us another 10 photos, this time from Noreason 4. We also have new art related photos  from Loncon 3, received from artist Maurizio Manzieri. Thanks all!

For our old fanzines, we have two titles today. First, David Ritter has scanned 4 more issues of Allen Glasser's 1930 fanzine, The Planet. Thanks for sharing David!

An old motto of the LASFS is said to be "Even Death Will Not Release You" (or at least that's what Laney said). It's true of the fanzines too apparently, as they are still worth reading. Even if you're not a LASFS member, you might want to check out these 8 newly scanned issues of Shangri L'Affaires. In these issues (13-17, 32, 51), you'll find Frank Robinson, F.T. Laney, Charles Burbee and more. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe.

February 23, 2018
It's another Youtube day. Today we have uploaded a 35 minute audio clip (with images)of both Hugo Awards and two Guest of Honor speeches from the 1964 worldcon, Pacificon II. The Guests of Honor were Leigh Brackett and Ed Hamilton. The tape is brought to us by SCIFI, specifically by Jerome Scott, Director of Projects for SCIFI in LA. From the Youtube intro: Toastmaster Tony Boucher awards the Hugos (in under 7 minutes!), and Guests of Honor Leigh Brackett and Edmond Hamilton give their speeches. It's great fun; Tony Boucher is witty and thoughtful, Leigh Brackett is open and sincere, and Ed Hamilton is surprisingly funny, with anecdotes and personal reminiscences. Learn the secret of the Boys Club of Science Fiction. Hear the tale of throwing a body out of a spaceship near Saturn. Get a real understanding of what it feels like to sell your first story." Of Ed Hamilton, Tony Boucher says, "No one has ever destroyed so many suns so well." You can find it at https://youtu.be/504j2tU0VZg.

More photos from Ted Krulik. He's provided 16 photos split between Lonestar  (1997) and the Milennium Philcon (2001). Thanks Ted!

Back to 1976. There's another video from the 1976 Worldcon, Big MAC at https://youtu.be/n0kAn3h_Fok  . This short (20 minute) talk is Jim Gunn's "Fifty Amazing, Astounding, Wonderful Years". From the Youtube blurb: (1976) "was also the 50th anniversary of the first science fiction magazine. In this video, Professor Gunn talks about the impact of the magazines on science fiction and the creation of fandom. There's also an entertaining description of the responses of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne to each other, a brief account of how to create a science fiction writer, and a sense of what the field was like in the early days, all delivered with charming wit. This essay later appeared in Gunn's "Inside Science Fiction", published by Scarecrow Press. (1992)." Thanks again to Video Archeology.

More photos. We've added the beginnings of an album for photos from the collection of Mark Hickman. Mark has photos of his own plus those of his father, Lynn, that go back for many years. Thanks Mark! And thanks to Joe Siclari for scanning.

We've added the Hugo nomination and voting ballots, 3 Progress Reports and best of all, Jay Kay Klein's Con Annual. This has 158 photos, with identifications. The key to the photos is in one section, and the photos are in another. You'll figure it out. The pubs for Pittcon can be found here - http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Pittcon/w60-pubs.html. Thanks Mark!

More of jan finder's Spang Blah. Thanks to the scanning of Joe Siclari, we've added 5 issues from the 1970s. Jan was in Italy for some of these. In prep for your 2019 Worldcon in Dublin, you might want to read Bob Shaw's Tyme Travel Talk here  in issue 20.

February 7, 2018
Whoo-hoo! We've completed the run of Walter Gillings's Fantasy Review. Issue 17, added today, has articles such as the one introduced by "THOMAS SHERIDAN tells the romantic life story of shy JACK WILLIAMSON, who might have been a cowboy but instead became a Space-Time Ranger". Love it.

The reason that SF Weekly  is marked II is that there was a I. Today we've added 6 issues, a hoaxzine and an introductory letter for Doc Lowndes's Science Fiction Weekly  from 1940. The hoax is called "Science Fiction Weakly" and was an April 1 publication. Headline: Sykora Stubs Toe!

From Australia, we've added 7 issues of Vol Molesworth's newszineThe Sydney Futurian. These are all from 1947 and 1948 and is a newsletter of the Futurian Society of Sydney. If you're wondering what life was like then and there, the price for Americans is one prozine in exchange for 6 issues of the zine (and "Exchange

We've added 4 issues of 1942 Le Zombies  for your Retro research. Scanning thanks to Keith Stokes.

Today's Granfalloon  is number 9. Thanks to Mark Olson for scanning.

Mea culpa. Two errors to report. Yesterday, I mentioned adding the April 1950 issue of SF Weekly, edited by Ronald Friedman. It's really "Science Fiction Weekly" not "SF Weekly". The webpage has been fixed. Joe has an eagle eye.

Also, I had added the Phil Bronson zine Scienti-Comics. My error. It was already on our site with two issues scanned by Tom Veal almost ten years ago. I've removed the duplicate pages. Sorry for any confusion.

February 4, 2018
A strangely mixed bag for you this evening, with items from 5 decades of fandom. All scanning by Joe Siclari unless otherwise indicated. (Thanks Joe!) First, 3 issues of Sam Moskowitz's Helios. These

Next up is an issue of Walter Gillings British Scientifiction Fantasy Review  from 1938. It includes an article by Arthur C. Clarke on "Science Fiction for Beginners".

Moving along to 1940, we have the first issue of Phil Bronson's Scienti-Comics. It's exactly what the name would imply. This is starting to fade. As we put these old fanzines online, it really feels like a rescue mission for some of them.

Merry belated New Years. Here's your 1946 Greetings Gazette  from Walt Dunkelberger's Fanews. Best wishes from Dunk and Lorraine, Forry Ackerman and others.

Getting our first newszine fix, we've added the April 1950 issue of SF Weekly, edited by Ronald Friedman. It starts with what happened at a gathering when it was announced that L. Ron Hubbard had just had a baby.

Another version of Fanspeak  is up too. This one is from 1951, and was one of the welcome leaflets from the NFFF. It was edited by Bill Venable, with appreciations to Art Rapp.

Getting our 2nd newszine fix, we've added 2 issues of Harvey Inman's Fantasy Fiction Field  from 1963. This was the second series of the zine founded by Julius Unger.

And finally, the 70s. Today's Granfalloon  is number 17. Thanks to Mark Olson for scanning.

February 3, 2018
Retro stuff: Today we've uploaded Joe Siclari's list of 1942 fanzines with notations as to which are eligible for Best Fanzine. The PDF is here- http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/1942fanzines.pdf. Our plan is to make this linkable so you can go from the full list directly to the fanzines. Watch this space.

Today's Granfalloon  is number 13. Thanks to Mark Olson for scanning.

February 2, 2018
More photos today. First, a correction. Yesterday's Roc*Kon 3 photos are from 1979, not 1978. Thanks to Kirby Bartlett-Sloan for the photos and the corrections.

We've added another set of 30ish photos from the Gil Gaier album. These are photos by Gil that were scanned by Patty Peters. Included are a couple of great photos of Patrick Hayden and of Patty Peters. There's a very fine photo of Mal Edwards  too.

Some miscellaneous fanzines today, including 3 issues of 1942 publication (and a couple more from 1943). We've added the March 1975 issue  of jan finder's Spang Blah, along with issue 8  of Linda Bushyager's Granfalloon. Scanning for Spang Blah by Joe Siclari, and for Granfalloon by Mark Olson. We've also added the latest issue of John Thiel's Ionisphere. This is the Bulletin of the National Fantasy Fan Federation Fan-Pro Coordinating Activity. Thanks!

The older fanzines today are VOMs. There are 3 issues from 1942, and 2 from 1943, along with a few supplements. Alas one of the 1943 issues is partial, with only a few pages online. We'll keep lookng for the remainder.

February 1, 2018
Thanks to Kirby Barlett-Sloan, we have photos of Roc*Kon 3, from 1978. There are Klingons, there is filking, and a car with an admirable license plate. Thanks Kirby! We look forward to more Roc*Kon photos.

Today's newszines (this will stop at some point): we've added 18 more issues of Walt Dunkelberger's Fanews Newsletters. This includes the second 2nd annual issue, this one dedicated to Earl Kay, after a briefer one so marked earlier in the year. Earl Kay was co-editor until he was killed in the war. There's also a 4 page Pacificon supplement (1947). There are issues from 1945-1948 represented, and scanning is by Joe Siclari.

January 31, 2018
All scanning today by Joe Siclari, except where otherwise noted.

We have a new update for FANAC.ORG. If you're not on our mailing list (and why aren't you on our list?) you can find it here - http://www.fanac.org/FANAC_Inc/update0118.pdf. Just to throw some numbers are you. we have reached 50,000 pages of fan material online, over 2500 newszine issues and more than 33,000 views on our Youtube channel. Round numbers and lots of zeros. Help us keep it going.

Retro Hugo materials: We've added two more of Harry Warner, Jr.'s Spaceways, although one is from 1941. There were continuations from it into the 1942 first issue so it seemed like a good idea to add it now. We've also added issue 9  of Art Widner's Fanfare. As always, all Retro candidates on the site can be found here - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html 

Added issue 7 of Linda Bushyager's Granfalloon. Sample titillating article in that issue - "Ravished - Piers Anthony Reviews Dick Geis's latest sex novel". Scanning by Mark Olson.

Last but not least, 21 more newszines. We've added a slew of 1946 and 1947 issues of Walt Dunkelberger's FANEWS newsletters. There's an HG Wells obituary, there are reports of fan gatherings, and there are anecdotes. My favorite is in issue 278. It's about Tigrina's experience on the show "Queen for a Day". The part I liked best is the intro - "In keeping with the plan for LASFS members to get on all the radio quiz shows and split the profits with the LASFS, Memorial Day found Tigrina on the "Queen for a Day" program..."

January 30, 2018
All scanning today by Joe Siclari.

More Retro Hugo material today. We've added two more 1942 fanzines. First, we've added VOM22  from October 1942.

We've also added Space Tales 4  from July 1942. BTW, Space Tales is listed as a 1941 fanzine in the Pavlat Evans index. However, internal evidence in multiple places in the zine puts it as a 1942 publication.

26 newszines added from 1945-1946. These are issues of the Fanews  newsletters. As you may know, the zine was also published in card form. You can find all the issues listed in one place whether they are cards or newsletters. For that look here http://fanac.org/fanzines/FanewsCard/.

January 29, 2018
Many thanks to Sam McDonald for scanned material, background information, and for very useful recommendations. Today, thanks to Sam, we've put up issue 58 of STEFNEWS, and thereby completed the run.

Sam sent us Retro Hugo materials too. We have 3 1942 issues of Bonfire, and 2 more 1942 issues of Shangri L'Affaries, along with a 1941 issue - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Shangri-laffaires/Shangri-laffaires04a-01.html.

When we put up VOM 21  a few days ago, we asked for help with the photo index. IT was there all the time. Sam pointed out that the key to the cover photos can be found on page 3.

Speaking of photos, we've put up another 100 or so of Gil Gaier's photos and you can see them here - http://www.fanac.org/Fan_Photo_Album/g02-p00.html. Patricia Peters scanned them all and provided them to us. Thank you Patty!

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #404 (7.3 MB), #51.5B (5.3 MB), and #52 (5.2 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

January 28, 2018
Now that we've scanned as many issues of Niekas  as we can, Mark Olson has started scanning issues of Linda Bushyager and Suzanne Thompkins' Granfalloon. We have 5 issues from the late 60s up so far. Thanks Mark!

Added the January issue of Leybl Botwinik's CyberCozen. Thaks Leybl!

January 24, 2018
Confiction  was more than 27 years ago. But thanks to Thomas Recktenwald, you can listen to the Guest of Honor speeches and a few panels. You can find them here - http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/ConFiction/w90-audio.html. There will be a few more coming too. Thanks Thomas! Some or all of these may end up on Youtube with appropriate image accompaniment, but there are so many great audio tapes that we're putting them on FANAC.ORG as we can rather than wait till they're all tricked out for Youtube.

Ok, the December 1942 FAPA mailing  is entirely online. 235 pages, all scanned by Mark Olson.

January 23, 2018
The December 1942 FAPA mailing  is mostly online now. This is a vast mailing, and many thanks to Mark Olson for the scanning. These are part of our Retro Hugo efforts so that you can nominate and vote with knowledge. You can always see what he have for the Retros at http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html.

We've put up about 70 of Gil Gaier's photos and you can see them here - http://www.fanac.org/Fan_Photo_Album/g02-p00.html. These are identified photos, and as we start to put up the unidentified photos, we'll be asking for your help to get the right names on the right faces. Patricia Peters scanned them all and provided them to us. Thank you Patty! These are great.

January 22, 2018
Lots of material today, both for the Retro Hugos and for the news junkies among you.

First, Mark Olson has scanned the last of the Ed Mesky Niekas  that we have. If you have issues that are not online, please let us know (especially if you are willing to scan or loan them!).

Next, Mark has also scanned another 1942 issue of FAPA. You can find the September issue there now, with more by Jack Speer, Art Widner, Russell Chauvenet and others. All this is reflected in the listing of materials available for those considering Retro nominations. You can find it all here - http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html. Thanks Mark - that's an enormous effort.

And for the folks eager to know what happened in the 40s, we have an additional 52 issues of Fanews. To make it easier to read, I've broken them up into newsletters and cardzines. All the issues are in the index here - http://www.fanac.org FanewsCard/  but if you click on a newsletter you'll find yourself with the newsletter index and need to click on a FanewsCard link to get back. The advantage is that you can easily click through from card to card without getting bogged down in a 10 page newsletter. Actual coherent explanation will be posted on the relevant pages soon. This herculean scanning effort provided by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

January 21, 2018
Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #403 (5.4 MB), #51.1A (5.2 MB), and #51.5A (5.2 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

January 19, 2018
It's Youtube time again. Today, we've uploaded a 1996 interview of Forry Ackerman by Richard Lynch. Forry talks about the beginnings of "Famous Monsters of Filmland" and Vampirella, and about the man behind the Big Heart award, E. Everett Evans. There's a very sweet anecdote about Dr. David Keller, and lots of talk of film cameos, along with world class name dropping. What else would you expect from the man who won the first fan Hugo, for #1 Fan. It's an audio recording, enhanced with more than 50 images and you can find it at youtu.be/ZlQCHHGbhhQ.

Some random and not so random fanzines uploaded today. Mark Olson has scanned another one of Ed Meskys' Niekas. It's #15. Thanks Mark. Joe Siclari has added a flock of fanzines today. First, we've uploaded Speculation 21, edited by Pete Weston.

Joe has been scanning many 1942 and 1943 zines in preparation for the Retro Hugos. Today from 1942, we've added two issues of Larry Shaw's Leprechaun  and two issues of VOM. VOM (Voice of the Imagi-Nation) was edited by Forry Ackerman and Morojo, and has letters from folks like Ted Carnell, Harry Warner, Jr., Art Widner, and Milt Rothman. Issue 21  has a great cover made up of fan photos. Our page 2 is blank. If anyone has a page 2 with (maybe) a key to the photos, please let us know. Remember, you can always find a directory of candidate retro materials at fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html.

From 1943, Joe has scanned an issue of Phil Bronson and Walt Daugherty's Fantasite. Contributors include Ross Rocklynne, Carl Jacobi, Gordon Dickson, and Bob Tucker. This is 1943. Gordy's first published story was 1950.

January 17, 2018
Retro Hugo nominations will be open soon. We're putting materials up on fanac.org so you can have as much grist for your Hugo mill as possible. You can always see what we have available by looking at our Retro Hugo candidate materials  page. Lots of good stuff, and more everyday.

Thanks to the scanning of Joe Siclari, today we've added another external criticism  of Claude Degler's Cosmic Circle, this one by Larry Shaw as well as more Shangri L'Affaires, with 4 more issues from the 40s.

Are you detecting a chronological pattern in most of these pages? The 1942 Retro Hugos are coming. More about that later.

To round out the year, another tidbit of Video Archeology for you. This time, we present the Robert Heinlein Guest of Honor speech from the 1976 Worldcon, MidAmeriCon (with video provided by the inestimable Video Archeology team) You can see it at https://youtu.be/LoSnjYLw2A0.* In this speech, a few years after Heinlein's brain surgery, you get a variety of topics. It's sometimes uncomfortable (as it was in 1976), and there are boos as well as applause. Boos. At a GoH speech. The talk touches on Heinlein's belief in the inevitability of atomic war and his belief that mankind will go to the stars. There are comments on Russia and China, the role of men, and more than a few very bad jokes. If you like Heinlein, or if you don't, this video is a rare opportunity to hear that legendary figure. Thanks again to the Video Archeology team (especially Geri Sullivan and David Dyer-Bennet) for providing the video, and to Jeff Schalles who kept the tapes safe for so long.

*It's easier to remember our channel address - youtube.com/c/fanacfanhistory.

Thanks to Kim Gibbs, our archive of File 770  is now complete! The elusive issue 81  is online in PDF format. Kim, thanks so much for responding to our request for help. This site is really a community effort.

ONE MISSING FILE 770! That's all that's left. Does anyone have issue 81? Mark Olson has scanned the last 4 issues that he has, and we're now only missing issue 81. If you have it and could scan it, please send a note to fanac@fanac.org . We will keep looking for that issue. You can see them (almost) all at the FIle 770 index page.

December 9, 2017
A plethora of once current events is now yours for the looking, with 25 newszines added today.

We've added our earliest newszine title, Science Fiction News, with 2 issues from 1936. This was an official publication of the Oklahoma Scientifction Association, edited by Dan McPhail, with Jack Speer as an assoicate editor. Marked as Volume 5, Number 3, one of the articles makes mention that was the first printed issue. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

We have more File 770's  up too, with 5 issues from 145-149 scanned by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

There are another 18 issues of Graham Stone's Science Fiction News, this title from Australia. The issues range from 1954 to 1983. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

December 8, 2017
Another voice from the past for you today, thanks to Evelyn Leeper, we've added an audio with images of Theodore Sturgeon's Guest of Honor speech at the 1972 Lunacon. You can find it at https://youtu.be/QPjVcgZcC24. With an Isaac Asimov introduction, there are corny puns and jokes from both of them, but primarily the talk is a serious, constructive discussion of Sturgeon's "best beloved field", and a defense against those that would marginalize and dismiss it. There are a few heartfelt minutes at the end about the (1972) US government amassing citizens' private data, without any ability to challenge it. More than 40 years later, it's still important, and worth listening. This is an audio tape enhanced with images. Thanks Evelyn!

Added the latest issue of John Thiel's Ionisphere. This is the Bulletin of the National Fantasy Fan Federation Fan-Pro Coordinating Activity. Thanks!

December 7, 2017
Mashable.com has discovered the FANAC YouTube channel! Or at least one item on it. They did an article  on our Video Archeology footage of the MidAmeriCon Star Wars panel, and the hits shot up to over 10,000. It's great to have all that hard work by the Video Archeology crew pay off. That's far more than the entire attendance was at Big Mac.

Newszine update: We've added 6 more issues of File 770  from 2001 and 2005. Scanning by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark!

Joe Siclari has been locating and scanning Shangri-LAs! 9 issues added today from 1941 to 1956. There are some choice issues here, includng one with a cover by Charles Schneeman. Thanks Joe!

Added Evelyn Leeper's report on Philcon 2014. Thanks Evelyn!

More to come. Smofcon 35 was last weekend, and we'll be putting up a batch of photos. We're also working on a new audio piece for Youtube. Actually it's an old audio piece - from 1972. Does anyone have any 1972 Lunacon photos? We could sure use them.

December 4, 2017
Newszine update: We've added 11 more issues of File 770, with Mark Olson providing 5 issues from 2000 and 2001, and Mike Glyer giving us the last 6 issues from 2012 to 2016. Thanks to you both!

November 28, 2017
Don't Miss: A real treat today. Do the names Mort Weisinger and Julius Schwartz mean something to you? Today, we put up an issue of the 1932 fanzine, The Time Traveller  that they put out with Allen Glasser and Forry Ackerman. This is one of the earliest fanzines devoted to science fiction. This fanzine is so old that the masthead lists one Forrest J. Ackerman, with a period after the J!

If you got the FANAC newsletter, you know that we've been adding issues of Mirage, Jack Chalker's Hugo nominated fanzine. If you didn't get the newsletter, and you would like to, then please drop a line to fanac@fanac.org and I'll make sure you get on the list. Joe Siclari has scanned issue 5  from the Spring of 1962.

Another fanzine we've been working (see the newsletter ) is Shangri-LA. Today we added issues 11, 15 and 26. Scanning courtesy of Joe Siclari.

Newszines: We've added 4 newszines today. Mark Olson scanned two more File 770s  for us, these from the latter part of 1999. Joe Siclari scanned two issues of CHAT  for us, these from 1978. Not quite a newszine....but in the ballpark. Joe also provided a scan of Fantasy Faction Field  purportedly from 1941. It's issue &@ .

November 25, 2017
We've posted the latest FANAC Fan History project update. This gives you a tops down view of what we've been doing over recent months. Sometimes it can be easy to get lost in all the detail you see in what's new. The update  can make sense of it. You can find the update in the section About Us  which also contains interesting info on who we are, what we're doing, and most importantly, who our contributors are. If you should be listed and you're not, then it's the webmaster's error, so please send a note to fanac@fanac.org and we'll get that little problem corrected.

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #398 (5.0 MB), #46.5B (4.9 MB), and #46.5C (4.5 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

Thanks to the Video Archeology folks (especially Geri Sullivan and David Dyer-Bennet), we've uploaded another bit of fannish history. Today, it's an excerpt from the Weird and Horror Genre Luncheon panel discussion. This features Poul Anderson, Charles Grant, Ted White, Kirby McCauley (mod), Tom Reamy and Stuart Schiff talking about Lovecraft, ghost stories, fairy tales and why they are attracted to the genre. There is some damage to the film, but DDB has made it very watchable. You can find it here  or just search for the FanacFanhistory channel on YouTube.com .

We've also added 9 more issues of File 770, these from 1998 to 1999. Scanning by Mark Olson. Thanks Mark, for the photos and the fanzine scanning!

An unusual treat for you today, that will hopefully help bring a light mood for the holiday season. We've added 15 years/issues of Irish Fandom's Christmas greetings, Peace on Sol III. These were edited by Walt and Madeline Willis, and always started with the phrase "Goodwill to Mellow fen". Some of the issues were not internally dated. If you have a correction for the dating that we have determined, please let us know. All scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks again Joe!

Fanzines and photos are the order of the day.

First, for photos. We've added about 115 photos today, all from Mark Olson, spread across the decade between Conspiracy  in 1987 and BucCONeer  in 1998. You'll find new photos online for both of these Worldcons. Also, we have new photos for:

Today's "What's New" from FANAC Fan History Project Chair, Joe Siclari:

Around 1960, Dick Eney was a fannish reference and publishing machine. He was a frequent contributor to quite a few apas, and published material for other fen. Dick published two of the major fannish reAlference works of all time. The first was Fancyclopedia 2 and its supplements, containing hundreds of pages of material. Fancyclopedia 2 was the basis and starting point for FANAC's Fancyclopedia 3 (online at http://fancyclopedia.org/ ).

The other major work was the 388 page collection/history A SENSE OF FAPA. We have just finished scanning and uploading this to FANAC.org. SENSE OF FAPA contains several major publications that were originally distributed in FAPA (FanBtasy Amateur Press Association), the earliest being from 1937 in the first issue of FAPA.

Among the major articles uploaded today in A SENSE OF FAPA are:

John Michel's Mutation or Death - politics in fandom

Jack Speer's Up to Now - a compact history of fandom, without the digressions of Moskowitz's The Immortal Storm

F. Towner Laney's Ah! Sweet Idiocy! - also online separately at http://fanac.org/fanzines/Ah_Sweet_Idiocy/ 

Joe Kennedy's Before the Bomb! - New York Fan History from the same period as ASI

A SENSE OF FAPA  includes many articles by the best that fandom has produced including: James Blish, Redd Boggs, Charles Burbee, P. Schuyler Miller, Milt Rothman, Bill Rotsler, Harry Warner, Jr., C, S. Youd (John Christopher) and many others.

Help yourself to one of best publications fandom has produced.

Today's "What's New" from Fanac Fan History Project chair, Joe Siclari -

Francis Towner Laney's memoir Ah! Sweet Idiocy!  is, without a doubt, the single most important polemic about science fiction fandom. Laney claimed that this would be his farewell and last stand in fandom. It didn't work out that way as he kept somewhat active into the 1950s. It did, however, make him the most controversial fan of his period (standing out in importance and notoriety even over Claude Degler and his Cosmic Circle.

This memoir is not only long (130+ pages) and detailed but it is the major primary source of information (some would say disinformation) about fandom in the 1940s. Laney was a prolific, opinionated writer credited with saying "Anything worth writing is worth putting on stencil". This statement is belied by the fact that he wrote numerous tightly spaced, full and multipaged letters, often directly to the people he was criticizing.

Ah! Sweet Idiocy! has been the single most requested item to be put online. Laney takes some liberties with the facts to suit himself, however, he is often candid about his own problems and biases. To put this material in some context, I devoted many pages of my fanhistory zine, FanHistorica, to articles written by, about, and against FTL and ASI (including excerpts from ASI). You can find these at FanHistorica. To see other sides of Laney look at his sercon fanzine The Acolyte  and his FAPA zine, Fan-Dango. More material by Laney will be put online here in the future.

As you can easily tell, I have been fascinated/engrossed ??? by Laney and his oversized influence in S-F Fandom for years.

November 5, 2017
We're happy to tell you that we have 2 more Voids  on line today. Thanks to the scanning of Joe Siclari, we now have issues 2 and 3 on line. Thanks Joe!

More newszines, this time from 1993 and 1994. Four newly posted issues of Mike Glyer's File 770  from the scanning of Mark Olson. Thanks Mark.

You may have heard that we've lost another fan, D. Potter. *sigh* Thanks to Andrew Porter, we posted a few beautiful pictures of her from the 1980s. They're on two different pages, so please page through. Start on the bottom right of this page.

Here's your daily dose of esoteric fannish interest. Mark Olson has provided us a number of photos from the MagiCon exhibit setup, along with some photos of the preparation work that went on in Boston, before the con. If you work on exhibits or are thinking of volunteering you can find a sample of what to expect starting here. Thanks Mark, for the photos, and the exhibits.

November 3, 2017
Grins and giggles for your Friday afternoon. On our Youtube channel  we've added a fabulous audio recording (with pictures) of Harry Harrison's Eastercon 22 talk on Stonehenge and Sex. It includes a roaringly funny discourse on the introduction of sex into science fiction stories in the 60s, with anecdotes about well loved authors and editors including Brian Aldiss, Mack Reynolds, Ted Carnell and George O. Smith. You'll hear about Starship 69, and how to get "dirty bits" past editorial assistant Kay Tarrant. The last part of the talk is an absolutely fascinating view of John W. Campbell, editor of Astounding (later Analog) and how it was to work with him. Audience interruptions include Anne McCaffrey and John Brunner. Worth a listen!

November 2, 2017
Take a look at these recent photos, added courtesy of Mark Olson. We have photos for the 1989 Tropicon 8  and for the 2001 Boskone 38. Thanks Mark! There are a few fans to be identified in these photos, so if you know someone, say something.

Continuing today with Newszines. Five more File 770s, 1983 and 1984. Scanning thanks to Mark Olson. By my count, we have put online 2267 newszines so far, with the earliest from April 1938, and the most recent from 2011. That April 1938 newszine, Science Fiction Newsletter, published by Dick Wilson, appeared only 12 years after the first science fiction magazine hit the newsstand. Dick was 17 at the time, and his first short story was published in Astonishing Stories two years later.

October 13, 2017
More Shangri-LAs! Today, 5 issues from the 1940s, edited by either Dale Hart or Walt Daugherty. Scanning by Joe Siclari. Shangri-LA  was one of the official organs of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society.

A big drop of fannish history today. Ever hear of Claude Degler? You can read the Fancyclopedia 2 article about him here. Degler and his Cosmic Circle were the center of fannish furor in the 1940s (and deservedly so). Here  is a whack of the original materials published by and about the Cosmic Circle. Here you'll find both external criticism (so marked) and the Cosmic Circle fanzines. Today, a whack equals 44 publications. Included are almost the entire run of Cosmic Circle Commentator  and three Fanews Analyzer. All scanning by Joe Siclari. Thanks Joe!

We have added the latest issue of the Mt. Holz Science Fiction Society's newsletter The MT Void, Vol. 36, No. 15, that was sent to us by Mark and Evelyn Leeper. Thank you both

October 8, 2017
You can't tell the BNFs without a scorecard, or at least a Who's Who. We've added L.D. Broyle's Who's Who  from 1961 under Fannish Reference Works. Here you can read about folks like Roger Ebert, Dick Eney, Rick Sneary and more. What did the world (or at least Broyle) think of Harlan Ellison in 1961? Of Bjo? Read it here. Broyle even included what kind of audio equipment each fan had. Scanning by Mark Olson.

October 6, 2017

Dale Speirs sent us PDFs of issues #391 (6.4 MB), #42.1.pdf (2.5 MB), and #42.pdf (5.2 MB) of his perzine Opuntia. Thanks Dale.

September 16, 2017
It's 25 years since MagiCon! To celebrate, we've uploaded a video of MagiCon Guest of Honor Vincent Di Fate speaking on "Science Fiction, Spirit of Youth". You can find it here. This far ranging talk includes an illuminating discussion of Frank R. Paul and how he affected the field. Vin also talks about his own influences, and science fiction film. At a 1980s Tropicon, Vin's Guest of Honor speech centered on being a science fiction guy. That enthusiasm comes out loud and clear in this video. Check it out!

We can call today "Bob Tucker Day", as we have added 27 issues of his seminal humor zine Le Zombie. Combined with news and gossip, this "Ghoul's Ghazette" was a must read of the time, and is still entertaining. He often quoted people or commented in such a way that the feuds of the day were clearly exposed. Lee Hoffman was Bob's fannish granddaughter, and we have added all 3 issues of her 1956 history zine Fanhistory. You might notice a similarity in the covers for Fanhistory and in the covers of Lee's earlier focal point zine, Quandry.

September 6, 2017

MagiCon was the 50th Worldcon, held in 1992 in Orlando, Florida. It was the first project of FANAC, Inc. and eventually provided the seed money for the Fan History Project. Our Guests of Honor were Jack Vance, Vincent Di Fate and Walt Willis. To see our photos from the convention, click here. Mike Glyer has celebrated the anniversary by republishing his contemporaneous convention report at File 770.

We have fond memories of the Enchanted Duplicator miniature golf course, of the amazing History of Art retrospective led by GoH Vincent Di Fate, and of our Fan Lounge, which people have said is the standard by which all subsequent fan lounges are judged. At the closing ceremonies we celebrated the field by creating a time capsule, which was surprisingly emotional. After a quarter of a century, we're planning to open it soon. soon. Watch this space.

Thanks again to all the people who worked so hard and made this convention, a surprising number of whom are still working on worldcons today.

Hope you enjoy the memories. Joe Siclari and Edie Stern

Such was the feeling of walking from the thousands, into the true heart of the convention, the fan lounge, where a glow of goodwill filled the room."

We have completed the (short) run of Dave Kyle's 1937 fanzine, Fantasy World, aka Phantasy World. This was one of the first comics fanzines, and we've added the last issue.

For a little hoax with your news, we give you Panac 99. Read it and learn how LASFS was to have a fan column in the Times.

More wartime reporting, with issue 4  of Phan. Fandom was much smaller. News of the day had to do with who was travelling, who was coming home from the wars and who was going to college and where.

The first issue  of Ron Ellik's Starspinkle  has been added. The "...bi-weekly news and chitter-chatter fanzine" was started in 1962.

Down under contribution for today is two 1948 issues of The Sydney Futurian. This news and clubzine has a very earnest feel to it, and it's interesting to compare to zines from the US from the same period.

One more Thyme. Mark Olson has scanned issue 136  from 2002 for us.

Started in 1984 by co-chairs Joe Siclari, Theresa Renner and Ben Yalow, this convention has done wonders for the standard of operations for science fiction conventions. I have personally seen a concom change their minds about running a local convention after attending a Smofcon and realizing how ill prepared they were to do so.

When one of those new pages was linked to by anything other than another one of those new pages the browser's back button would not work properly. This has been fixed for all the major browsers except for FireFox which may have a small bug in it's JavaScript support. When you access one of the new photo pages with FireFox from anywhere outside of Fanac please right click on back button and select the page that you wish to return to from the drop down list. Oh, and Safari requires a double click in the same circumstances.
March 20, 2011
We have completed a major update of the Fanac photo albums. All 6,438 photo webpage html files have been replaced by files that are an average of 34% of their old size. This update will result in more consistent formatting of the webpages and their associated photo update forms because many of those pages and forms were generated early in the life of the website and have now been brought up to date in terms of how they are displayed for you. Please note that the pages make use of JavaScript to control their format. Without JavaScript enabled they will still display properly but some formatting features and the photo updates forms will not be available.

We have replaced the site search that we have successfully used for the last several years with one from Google Custom Search.

The new search will encompass all of Fanac including the main part of the site, the new Fancyclopedia III on EditMe, and ConJosé, an archive of the 2001 Worldcon's homepage.

The reason for this change is the limitation of 10,000 web pages imposed by the Fluid Dynamics search engine. We have recently blown that limit and, though there have not been any apparent problems, we thought that it was time for an upgrade.

We have made a change to the way photos are displayed in the various photo albums on the Fanac site. In the past photos that had incomplete information, such as a missing photographer's name, unidentified people in the photo, a totally missing caption, and the like were displayed with a form that could be used to supply the missing information. Photos that apparently had all their information were displayed without a form. We have found that the use of a form in this manner is distracting and that frequently people have wanted to add to, or make changes to, photos that did not have a form.

In the future all photos will be displayed without a form but, by clicking were indicated, a form will be made available that will allow anybody to submit additions or changes that they think are appropriate for any photo.

We wish the thank all of those in the past that have taken the time to help us improve this site and to express our appreciation to those who will continue to do so in the future. We hope that this change will make it easier for you to continue to assist us.
