Terra Vulcan Yearbook was the official publication of Terra Vulcan, a fan club "for Vulcans living on Earth".
The material for these yearbooks was gleaned from the club's newsletter, which may have been called "Double-Exposure."
There were four issues of the yearbook.
It contained little fiction other than a Kraith short story. Its focus was on art, music, poems and articles celebrating both Ancient Vulcan and modern Vulcan culture.
According to issue #1, this club and its publication was originally to have a poetry focus, but fans wanted to contribute other things as well.
1972
Terra-Vulcan Yearbook 1972 contains 19 pages and has a front cover by Jennifer Reid and interior illos by M.E. Rabogliatti.
From the Intro-Booklet:
The main idea of this club is to expose, discuss, and highlight every aspect of Vulcan, its people, and their lives. Each member has their own ideas and opinions of Vulcan. This club is designed so each one of you can tell the other members your theories. The club policy is the "parallel universe" theory, suggested by Jacqueline Lichtenberg, meaning each person's thoughts are that person's universe. Your ideas don't have to coincide with another persons, and that there could be many different universes, such as the theory that the Romulans deserted Vulcan, or were colonists (non-Kraith), or they were barbaric, or Vulcan was once very industrial. The possibilities are endless. Also the "parallel universe" theory does away with any arguments about who's theories are correct. This way everyone's views are aired.
From Lichtenberg's article:
Judging from the upwelling [sic] enthusiasm of new ST fans who have just discovered the fanzine world, I expect many new zines and new series to bloom in 1972. I wouldn't be surprised if many of these new fans based their own ST universe on the structure of of Kraith for I have taken great pains with the logical underpinning of the series.
Not only is Kraith self-consistent and in agreement with aired-fact, but it has been created in the spirit and established by Gene Roddenberry.
When he first proposed ST for tv, GR set about to create a show which would display the most meaningful themes of SF for the non-SF audience. He also tried to make it a series which would appeal to the entrenched SF fan, but his main thrust was toward the anti-SF viewer. Thus there was a bit of overemphasis on the "Wonder-of-it-all" for who can deny that his first addiction to sf was of the "eye-widening" variety? (Many Questionaire [sic] indicated that ST led into sf, not vice-verse so GR was successful.)
Thus the creator of ST established the tradition of borrowing well-established patterns of speculation for ST use and in Kraith I have carried on this tradition. The well-read sf fan has no difficulty spotting certain similarities between ST and many reveered [sic] SF works. I perceived one sucg similarity which had not been widely publicized and used it as a pattern to develop much of my Kraith Background. This may well account for the series popularity as well as for the controversy that it arouses.

- Evolution of a Masterpiece by Jacqueline Lichtenberg (Lichtenberg states that the two most significant events in Star Trek fandom was the first Star Trek Lives! convention and her Strekfan Roster which she lauds as a way to "bring ST fanzines to the attention of the general public." Lichtenberg is already dividing and elevating certain groups of fans over others, name-dropping and creating a top-down organization of fandom. Kraith, of course, is the pinnacle.") (3)

1975
Terra-Vulcan Yearbook 1975 has a front cover by Merle Decker and interior illos by Adria, Debra McWilliams and Melinda Peacock.
The editor was Debbie McWilliams.
From the editorial:
Now, regarding our fanzine, there was not a good deal of material contributed last year. None has been sent in this year. I wonder if this is because all of you are discouraged in our club or because you feel you have nothing worthwhile to contribute. If you do not feel artistically creative, why write an article on aspect of Vulcan which you have considered and would like to discuss? It could be very short. Perhaps you might pose a question that could be explored by others in the next issue. Think about it, won't you?

Reactions and Reviews: 1975
Deals with Vulcans -- philosophy, art, culture. Art is difficult when you are limited by the ditto process, but McWilliams does very well with line drawings. Only problem is, ditto is too light on some pages, smeared on others. Could be a good zine. Contains one very good Spock-as-a-child story.
To me, the price seems a bit steep for ditto. [1]
