Help Me Find Sources on fandom history of the 60s and 70s for a project

« on: Spring, 30 Apr 2025 @990 »

Hi I have a school project where we have to wright a report on an aspect of a decade. Depending on how things turn out my group will either have the 60s or the 70s. I want to research fandom history, with a focus on fanfic and star trek fandom. I was wondering if any of you guys know any good sources on the history of the topic or adjacent topics throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Thank you

Wild! I'm currently reading Cosplay: A History by Andrew Liptak. A lot of the section near the front is about early development of fandom and how sci-fi cons reacted to Star Trek! It's an interesting read in general. It may be a bit long for this project, but I think it's really interesting!

Sounds like a cool theme!! 

The Internet Archive actually has a bunch of fanzines from those years on their online archive! Here's the link (I filtered them from 1967 to 1979)
Fanzines were a fundamental part of the creation of fandom culture so I think it could be a great place to start
