Lehigh Libraries Special Collections announces an exciting new exhibit opening in January 2025. Recently, the Libraries acquired the Robert Lichtman Science Fiction Fanzine Collection amounting to over 15,000 items. This extensive collection spans nearly a century, dating from the late 1930s through 2022, and features commentary, fan fiction, criticism, conference proceedings, and other genres. Along with the printed works, the archive includes correspondence, original art, and several fanzine titles personally published by Lichtman.
While it will take some time before the entire Lichtman fanzine collection is fully cataloged and prepared for use, we are pleased to exhibit highlighted selections from the collection showing its breadth and depth. The on-site display opens in Linderman Library in January, with additional material relating to international Worldcons (World Science Fiction Convention) opening soon in Fairchild-Martindale Library. Both displays will be on view through the end of June 2025 during regular building hours. Please also visit the virtual exhibit and watch for news about upcoming programs.
