Unlike SwanCon 3 (for which we have only advertising flyers/posters), the teetering mound of WA Fannish history contains a veritable treasure trove* of interesting *stuff*, including the above poster, a progress report, a con report by Rob McGough, and a program*. (see the SwanCon 4 tag in the flickr group for items already scanned).
Currently, we are planning on posting about the progress report in the next few weeks, followed by the Program. And if we can get in contact with Rob McGough, and get his permission, we will transcribe/scan some or all of the con report.
Text of the poster, for those who are unable to view it (layout, punctuation and capitalisation preserved to the best of our abilities):
Need some plans?

* some exaggeration might be seen here, given that there are only four items, to SwanCon 3’s three items. But there is actual text! There are pre- and post-con perspectives! There are names, and committee members’ writings, and it is all very exciting !!eleventy!
