Our Mission

Where No Fandom Has Gone Before: Exploring the Development of Fandom Through Star Trek Fanzines is a digital archive and exhibit project centered around a collection of forty early Star Trek fanzines (fan magazines). The website serves two functions: primarily to archive these fanzines, and secondarily to showcase their viability as research tools, with an emphasis on data. Additionally, through the use of several digital exhibits, this project supports the argument that fanzines had an integral role in the development on early Star Trek fandom and served as a primary means of communication between fans. 

Before exploring the site, it is recommended visitors read the About page for relevant background information about the archive and exhibits contained on this site. Checking the Glossary is also recommended if a visitor is unfamiliar with fandom-related terms
