Dip play-by-mail zines

[Guest]

A bit a go, somewhere I saw information on the archives at Bowling Green State
University of fan publications. I have a stack of old pbm zines that I would
rather donate than toss. Can someone send me the info to contact the
archivist. Failing that, does anyone out there want about a foot high stack of
various old zines?

Hi Kevin, you should be reading the Abyssinian Prince more closely....

We have discussed the whole process there. Bowling Green has had
budget cutbacks and would prefer not to get random "stacks of old
pbm zines". The address is:

Diplomacy Hoosier Archives
Popular Culture Studies Library
William T. Jerome Library, 4th Floor
Bowling Green State University
Bowling Green, OH 43403

But I would think you would need to send them in an organized
fashion, already set to be archived, since they don't want to
even assign a specific staff person to the collection (as we
had for many years). If you have them so organized, send them
along (though I wouldn't be shocked if you got some push back
from them). But if someone else here wants them, that's probably
better.

PS Those sorts of questions always are of the "just ask Jim-Bob"
type and I'm pleased to answer them. Always nice to do it in
public so others can see it though.
