Celebrate with us as we announce that 800 fanzines and counting, 1930-1950, are now online in the University of Iowa Digital Library:

Here’s a Slate article that just came out by Jacob Brogan:

Enjoy!

Photo is from the Slate article of fanzines in the Hevelin Collection.

We’re processing a big box of pulp magazine fragments that belonged to Rusty. Here’s something special: Jack Williamson, one of the greats of SF, inscribed this fragment from Argosy Weekly, Oct. 12, 1940, to “Bob and Leslyn Heinlein.” Very nice.

Re: Orcrist #5 music by Laura Haglund

I believe that these pages were hand done by Laura Haglund as she also credits the Valar & the Family Piano. As a musician, she would be concerned that the correct notes were marked on the staff. She would also be happy to decorate the pages for Ivor Rogers. Ivor did not have such an artistic hand for doodles.

Sadly, I had to relinquish my collection of Orcrist and Tolkien Journal for pecuniary reasons. Luckily, I have ready access to the magazines at the Marquette University Library Special Collections! Huzzah!

Response: Thanks for the info! The Marquette Tolkien Collection is wonderful and curated by William Fliss, a generous colleague and fine archivist. Enjoy!

Need any help? :D

With transcription? Sure! We are entering a new phase of the process and the entire scanned collection will be available to the public for viewing and transcription. I will soon make an announcement and press release to that effect. Thanks for your interest! [email protected]

I think that Spatium was done by Harold W. Cheney, Jr. not Harold W. Cheyney (extra y)

Thanks for the correction! I appreciate fan input very much. Regards, [email protected]

On your blog, currently on p. 20, you have a photo of Starling #30. You list that as by "Frank and Lesleigh Luttrell". The husband's name is "Hank Luttrell". (He's a long time friend of mine.) This, of course, was before their divorce.

Thanks for this correction! I appreciate the assist in archiving the materials correctly, online and off. Regards, [email protected]

I'm absolutely losing my mind at the news of the digitization project. I'm a cultural sociologist (and in fandoms for 32 years). I've done much work on TV and politics but recently expanding to fandom studies. I can't thank you enough. My future research universe just went exponential.

Happy to hear how happy you are! Please do come and visit; we have so much to see and work with that I can’t list here. I’m happy to answer any inquiries so please write: [email protected] . Thanks.

What is the DuGarm collection, the source of so many comics on this tumblir? There's no mention of this collection that I can find on the Special Collections pages on the library website, and it's not listed among the other comics collections. Thanks, Corey Creekmur

Hi Corey, Keating DuGarm was a comics collector and fan whose collection was purchased in 2016. The collection contains thousands of pre-1985 comics, fanzines, collector’s pubs, graphic novels, and more. The collection remains unprocessed but is nearing completion. Inquiries as to the contents can be addressed to me at [email protected]. Thanks!

I'd just like to know if you're accepting volunteers (or even need any help) for transcribing the SF fanzines (the Hevelin collection). Can't seem to find anything anywhere that says "join in by clicking here."

Hi Anonymous, I have been working with our Legal dept. to overcome the copyright and privacy restrictions that have slowed down the project. The good news is that we will soon be opening up the transcription process to the world, without restrictions on anything but reproduction. I will make an announcement and there will be a press release when the plans are finalized. Thanks for your interest. You can write to me at [email protected]

Knowledge about fandom and world cons in particular

See http://fancyclopedia.org and http://fancyclopedia.org/world-conventions in particular.

Thanks! I appreciate the info and I know other readers will as well. PB

Re: query on Hevelin tumblr 2 months ago about "the year of the con" where the illo was done. You know the hotel (Denver Hilton). The "Long List of Worldcons" at: smofinfo<.>com/LL/TheLongList<.>html says 1981 was the year of Denvention 2, held 3-7 September at the Hilton. Had the illo not been done on hotel stationary, a Wikipedia search for "Hugo Losers party" reveals they started in 1976, thus it could only have been in 1981 or 2008 (Denvention 3) at the Colorado Convention Center.

Hi Anonymous, Thanks for writing and my apologies for the delay in answering. The librarian that was answering messages to Tumblr left us and the messages have languished. I appreciate the info; this was an easy mystery, one that I could have solved, but thought the fans might have fun with. I appreciate all the help I get from fans and will continue to ask for fan input, even at the risk of seeming clueless. Thanks again. Regards, Pete Balestrieri

Here’s one for the younger fans. Anybody know who this is? Character? Show?

Fund libraries, you must.

Happy Star Wars Day and May the Fourth be with you!

Hi Folks, I want to let you know that Laura Hampton, the librarian doing the actual digitization of Hevelin fanzines and who has masterfully displayed some of the Hevelin treasures here over the last two years, has moved on to a great job in Florida. We all wish her the very best and I am so grateful for all she’s accomplished. We’ll miss her.

So, it’s just us chickens. And to begin my return to doing Hevelin Tumblr, I introduce this piece of fan art, done on a piece of hotel stationery from the Denver Hilton. Can anybody identify the artist? The year of the con? I’m going to post more mysteries like this so stay tuned.
