<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">As those of you who were able to join our windswept SFCC meeting at RBMS, I would like to apply for grant funding (<i>e.g.,</i> an NEH Preservation and Access
Grant) for a collaborative cataloging project of the fanzine collections in SFCC institutions. While this initiative would mainly involve the institutions with substantial fanzine holdings, the project would benefit every SFCC institution, including those
with only a small number of fanzines. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I am at the very earliest stages of planning, but will keep you all apprised on developments.. The only thing I would need from each of you at this early
stage is an approximate --truly a <i>ballpark</i>--count of the number of fanzines in your institution. For example, the Eaton Collection has
<i>about</i> 110,000 separate issues. "Guesstimates" are fine; I am not asking anyone to start counting his/her holdings!
