The Southern Fandom Press Alliance (SFPA) is a regional amateur press association (APA) generally based in the Southern United States, but with notable membership from other regions. SFPA was formed in 1961, with Bill Jennings serving as the first Official Editor. The first mailing was in September 1961, consisting of 76 pages of contributions. The APA grew in both members and page count, with a record 100th mailing that contained over 1400 pages. Guy Lillian served the APA as the Official Editor for a number of years. (C000009)
The collection also includes various mailings from the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society (LASFS) APA, which first began publication in 1976 and was still being published as of 2013.
Finally, there are some additional fanzines in the collection, published independently of SFPA or LASFS.
