This project originated in 2017 as The Zinedom Archive Project. In 2022, Zinedom entered into a partnership with the OTW Open Doors committee to form the AO3 Fanzine Scan Hosting Project (FSHP).
What is the AO3 Fanzine Scan Hosting Project?
While the Fan Culture Preservation Project (FCPP) focuses on preserving hard-copy zines, OTW also recognizes the value of digitizing fannish history. Therefore, Open Doors is pleased to announce the AO3 Fanzine Scan Hosting Project (FSHP), a new partnership with Zinedom, a fan-run preservation project, in order to bring digitized copies of fanzine works to the AO3.
With approval from OTW Legal and the OTW Board of Directors, Open Doors will collaborate with Zinedom volunteers to transcribe stories, scan art, and upload both to the AO3 with permission. Fanzine works will only be imported to the AO3 with permission from their creators and/or zine publishers.
[1]
The project got underway in 2023 by importing the works of individual creators who had given their permission to do so. FSHP will then move on to work with publishers to import the contents of their fanzines (including fic, art, and meta), probably in late 2024. (Fanzine publishers or creators with works in fanzines can find out more information on the FSHP page on the Open Doors website.)
Creators Imported with the Assistance of Open Doors
Thanks to Zinedom's efforts, FSHP already holds permissions to preserve the fanzine works of a number of individual creators - permissions received either from the creators directly or from their next-of-kin. These include, among others: Gayle F, Connie Faddis, Leslie Fish, Nancy Kippax, Kathy Resch, Eileen Roy, April Valentine, and Bev Volker.
