Mike Glyer has some interesting posts up about universities that collect old fanzines. There’s an old article republished here, and an update here.
One of these days, Kevin and I will haul a pile of boxes out of storage and ship them off somewhere.

The current issue of Argentus also has an article about universities that collect author’s papers and (to a lesser extent) fanzines, by Lynne Thomas, the curator of the collection at Northern Illinois University.
Years ago, my Timebinders project involved writing to university libraries with fannish collections to compile a composite list with summaries of contents and contact information. What little data I had collected was lost in a harddrive crash sometime in the mid-’90s.
I keep thinking that I should get back to the project.
