The Fan Culture Preservation Project (FCPP) is a joint venture between the OTW and the Special Collections department at the University of Iowa to archive and preserve fanzines and other non-digital forms of fan culture.

Fans who have zines, fannish flyers, paper memorabilia, letterzines, newsletters, fannish correspondence, fan art, convention programs, convention badges, songvids - essentially anything fan made or fan produced - that they can’t keep anymore are encouraged to contact the OTW's Open Doors committee regarding the Fan Culture Preservation Project. Please.

Also refer to Fannish Estate Planning and the AO3 Fanzine Scan Hosting Project.
