The University of Kansas Spencer Library houses the Center for the Study of Science Fiction's special collection of books, magazines, manuscripts, fan publications, and other materials available for SF scholars. Our collection is the the North American repository for World SF, the Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA), the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA), and the Science Fiction Oral History Association. Other highlights include large manuscript collections of Cordwainer Smith's work and many others. Check with Spencer Library to see if they have catalogued the work you wish to study (note that some of their collections are still uncatalogued). We will update this page soon with more information. Did you know that the Center now has a physical space? We now have a large office containing a large (and growing) collection of fiction, nonfiction, critical collections, magazines, and much more. Check it out! For more information about SF research, check out the KU Libraries Guide to SF, Fantasy, and Horror Literature reference page. We are looking for a few volunteers with library or cataloging experience to help catalog decades of unprocessed SF materials. If you are interested in this, please contact us for more information!
