I’m happy to bring exciting news!
We are digitizing all of the fanzines in the Rusty Hevelin Collection, beginning with the earliest from the 1930s through 1950.
inviting a select group of fans to help transcribe the text of these fanzines in an apa-style working group.
respecting copyright and privacy by not placing full reproductions of the fanzines online
building a searchable database containing the full text of all Rusty’s fanzines
creating the most comprehensive and user-friendly index of science fiction fanzines that has ever been attempted.
I’m so glad to be part of this important project. Stay tuned for more information and updates. Thanks.
So happy that this is all happening! Big thanks to support from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development.
Going to be at the ICON Science Fiction Convention in Cedar Rapids? Get the whole story at our panel November 1st with all the updates (and swag).

Beautiful 18th century book (back) cover!
The book describes and analyses the appearance of two mock suns (parhelion) over London in 1702. (The Doctor was probably involved in some way.)
