Fanzines enter pages of history

Fanzines enter pages of history – BBC article on news that the National Library of Scotland is to start archiving 70 years of fanzine activity. The photo shows copies of Zum! and Caption, which is nice but implies the contents boxes piled up behind my wardrobe may contain a fair amount of duplicates. Still, when the time comes that I'm ready to rid myself of this precious load it's good to know sending them Chris Atton is an option.

    Chris Atton was one of our tutors on our journalism course and he really knows his stuff, but was taken aback when I presented him with a stack of old roleplaying fanzines. He’d never even heard of what for a few years was a huge scene. Nice to know he’s got the National Library interested. Think I may have to put my geeky collection to good use.

    Glad to hear you’ve found a home for them. I couldn’t think where to suggest.

    @anna Oh, I’ve not even contacted them or anything! Just keeping the notion in mind should I want to.
