Onto a new subject :)
I'm aware that there is some amount of recording and
documenting fannish history, but I'm curious as to how extensive it is and
where I'd find information on this.
I remember thinking that there was a surprising lack of camcorders at
conventions and wondering wether anyone has even "recorded" a convention, say
a WorldCon, in documentary style. It seemed to me that this would be very
interesting, especially ones from the 70's.
Similarily, photographs and convention materials and annecdotes. I know
there is some out there, but I've never heard of any official body in charge
of
them? Since alot of fan groups seem to be ephemeral I wondered what happens to
their stuff? I guess fanzines probably get saved and families keep photos, but
from a historical perspective, I hope someone is keeping track.
