Pacific Northwest Collegium was a fan club for fans of the works of Mercedes Lackey.

Fans were based in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.

Dues were a book of 20 stamps/$5.80 a year, 10 stamps/ $2,90 a half-year; these could be made in a minimum and multiple of 4-stamp installments.

Collegium Chronicles was the club's newsletter. It featured a GEnie report, convention news, member-submitted artwork and poetry, filk, and lots more.

In October 1991, there was a message in Queen's Own: "We have commissioned a replica of Need to be presented to Misty at DreamCon 6. Please send a dollar if you approve of that idea. The cost is $450; we have raised only $100 so far. The Pacific Northwest Collegium is providing a plaque and belt and scabbard. Contributors' names will go on a scroll to be presented later. The sword, scabbard and plaque are to be ready by Con time."

The September 1994 issue contains news of filk gatherings, local conventions, Heather Alexander's schedule, member biographies, book reviews.
