University Fan Archives (Pt 3 of 3), with Phoenix Alexander, Peter Balestrieri & Susan Graham

Overview: In this January 2025 FANAC Fanhistory Zoom, moderator Joe Siclari explores the details behind the creation and current state of some of the best known university archives of science fiction fan material. Phoenix Alexander is the Jay Kay and Doris Klein Science Fiction Librarian at the University of California, Riverside; Peter Balestrieri is the Curator of the Science Fiction and Popular Culture collection at the University of Iowa; and Susan Graham is the Special Collections Librarian at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Each of these Universities have received sizable collections from prominent fans of the period. Part 3 - Q&A: Questions posed (and answered) in this segment range from physical security of collections, especially considering their growth in value, to the state of collections at other universities, the difficulties of establishing permissions from estates, and the intricacies of inter-university cataloguing. Topping it off is a brief show-and-tell of unique items from the University of Iowa collection (ranging from Clark Ashton Smith to Star Trek). Bonus: Listen to the recording and find out which of our archivists is a former rock star!
