Here are some photos of the un-boxed Hevelin Collection! Many thanks to student-worker, Nicole Williams, who did all the hard work. Laura H. took these nice pictures. There are thousands of pulp magazines and over 14,000 books on these shelves. I will be in Des Moines tomorrow at Demicon to talk about the un-boxing and our project to digitize 10,000 Hevelin fanzines. Hope to see some of you there.
