I will indeed order some 'Pouch apparel when I get the chance. Speaking of chances, I'm wracking my brain for fodder for another article. I'll let you know when I get a good idea.

As many of you know I have been the custodian of the Hoosier Archives of Diplomacy Zines. This collection, created by Walt Buchanan, contains virtually every Diplomacy zine published in North America from the beginnings of the Hobby to 1978. When I accepted custody of the collection, it was with the understanding that I would preserve it and make it available to Hobbyists and researchers. My ultimate goal was to find a permanent home for it in an academic library/archive. I am please to announce that today I filled up my van with 33 cases and delivered the Hoosier Archives to the Popular Culture Library of Bowling Green State University here in Ohio. They already have a small collection of fanzines (SF, music, etc., even some Diplomacy World) and are delighted to add these to their collection. Alison Scott, the Head Librarian, will be inventorying these items over the next several months, and then will begin the process of cataloging. The remainder of the Hoosier Archives collection (consisting of correspondence, Diplomacy World subscription records and camera ready copy) along with the more recent acquisition of the Hobby Award plaques will be part of an archival special collection. All of these items will be available at the Popular Culture Library for Hobbyists and/or researchers to access. I believe that this is the best solution for the archives. I always considered the archives to only be in my care temporarily. Now they have a permanent home. I have been in communication with Walt Buchanan about this and he gives his blessings as well. And now they are out of my basement (just in time, since I may be moving again soon). This now brings up two more important issues. First, does she want more? You bet. When I took on the HA, I received queries from several people asking if I wanted more. I said no! No room! When I asked the Head Librarian she said, "yes, please!" So, those of you who have large zine collections and are loathe to toss them, here's your chance. As I said, they collect Diplomacy and just about any other type of fanzine. However, before you send her anything, please contact her directly and let her know what you have. Here is her contact information: Alison M. Scott Head Librarian Popular Culture Library Bowling Green State University Bowling Green, Ohio 43403 419-372-2450 mailto:alisonms@yahoo.com Keep in mind of course, that if you are going to donate your zines to the library, it is up to you to get them there. They do not have any funds available to purchase your zines or pay for shipping. Which brings us to the second point: No gift to a library is truly free. They will have many costs associated with the processing of the collection. Besides the staff time involved, they will need to purchase archival quality storage materials that will preserve the archives (folders, boxes, etc.). If you or other members of the Hobby would like to make donations to the library for the Hoosier Archives, they will be gratefully accepted. Make your checks payable to: "Popular Culture Library" Mail them directly to Alison Scott at the address above, with a notation that you wish this gift directed to the Hoosier Archives. As part of the collection, I also recieved two cases of back issues of Diplomacy World from the 1970's. These are muliple copies that were never sold when Walt was publishing DW. With Walt's permission I am going to sell these back issues as a fund raiser for the library. Watch for more information soon. Please pass this information on throughout the Hobby. Print it in your zines, post it on the Diplomacy newsgroup and in the Diplomatic Pouch, etc. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me.

It is good to know the HA now has a permanent home, and I want to thank you for your efforts. It will be interesting to see if this ever generates a Ph.D dissertation on a postal community. Actually, I was approached about that years ago, but I don't think anything came of it. Of course you have my blessing to sell the back issues of DW as a fund raiser for the library. I would also to happy to work with Alison if she has any questions about the collection in the future. BTW, note my new email address.

Larry has a whole lot of material from the early 1980's that I'm not sure is exhaustively covered in the Hoosier Archives. And, to Walt, you should join us for one of our Face-to-Face Diplomacy get-togethers in the Boston area. We just had one last week, but I'll let you know when the next one is. I'd like to meet you. I'm a Professor too, in the School of Public Health at Boston U. The best of the academic studies of Diplomacy have still been pretty weak (I've seen about five, mostly Master's theses) and also hope that someone attempts that soon.
