Welcome to This!, the blog for the Australian SF Distributed Archive Project (hereinafter referred to as ASFDAP, and the people involved as ASFDAPtors).
AIMS:
- To present to the world hidden treasures from the Dungeons of Fandom, including but not limited to, the MU(SF)²F* collections, private fannish stashes and the Leaning Tower of WASFF**.
- To encourage people to record the oral histories of the Australian fannish community, either here, in their own journals (and link it back) or in the Australian SF wiki.
- To record what fannish ephemera exists, and who has it.
- To encourage research and scholarship on topics relating to Australian SF history and culture.
