morgandawn: (Star Trek My Fandom Invented Slash)
Long before the days of tweeting, pinterest-ing and tumblr-ing, if a fan wanted to save and share pictures of their TV show and actors, they cut said pictures and articles out of magazines and TV Guides and newspapers or wrote off to the studios for a photo. All of these items were carefully collected in a scrapbook to look at over and over again.

While visiting local fans last month, they handed me a Star Trek scrapbook. They had been holding on to it for years after receiving it as part of a large fannish estate, but never knew where it should go. No one would pay money for it and no one seemed interested in taking it home .  Photos are here.

We don't know who created the scrapbook - we know it dates back  as early as 1973, but  it may have been assembled later. And it will find a home in the Fanzine Archives.
