Calling All Filkers - Archive Now Opening
Earlier in the year I blogged about how the filk community needed an institutional preservation effort - much like the one for fanzines at the University of Iowa Fanzine Archives that the OTW helped set up (aka the Open Doors project)
Well, Texas A&M University is looking to start a filk collection to supplement its current science fiction/fantasy/media fandom collections. They would love to hear from the filk community. Contact Archivist Jeremy Brett (jwbrett @ library.tamu.edu) for more details.
They’re working on the press release but the short version is they will accept all filk content - tapes, records, books, photos and digital recordings/conversions.
OK to repost, link to this post or forward.
PS. Here, have some more filk.
