Iowa: Fan Culture Preservation Project

Die Bibliothek der Universität von Iowa verwahrt bereits eine Sammlung von 250.000 Zines: SF/F-Zines, APA zines, aber auch Riot Grrrl und Underground Music Zines. Nun sollen gemeinsam mit der Organization for Transformative Works auch andere Ausdrucksformen der Fankultur gesammelt werden: "Do you have zines, fannish flyers, paper memorabilia, or con programs that you can't keep anymore, but can't bear to throw out? The OTW can help! The Fan Culture Preservation Project is a partnership between the OTW and the Special Collections department at the University of Iowa Libraries, and is dedicated to preserving fan artifacts such as letterzines, fanzines, and other non-digital fan works and memorabilia".
