In addition, the Foundation is responsible for preserving the Locus Collection, a large, historical library of speculative fiction materials housed at Duke University.</p> <p><strong>Mission of the LSFF</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">To promote, preserve, and celebrate speculative fiction – science fiction, fantasy, horror – through the discussion and exploration of the works, our diverse community of creators, and the industry.</span></strong></p> <p><strong>Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We take the broadest possible view of diversity and strive to create conditions that provide everyone with an equal opportunity to thrive and create. We welcome that every person brings a unique perspective and experience to our community. We believe we鈥檒l do that better if our workforce and contributors come from different backgrounds, and if we create an environment of inclusion and belonging for all.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We commit to using these practices. Across our workforce, products, and content, we embrace diversity of background, perspective, culture, and experience.

Established in 1968, the magazine features interviews with authors, reviews of new and upcoming books and short fiction, industry news, an annual Recommended Reading list and survey of genre readers, as well as listings of new, in-print, and forthcoming science fiction, fantasy, and horror titles, and currently stands as <strong>the journal of record for the field</strong>.聽 In addition, our website <a href="http://www.locusmag.com/"><em>Locus</em></a> Online provides independent and magazine content and access to a variety of reference indexes and databases: resources that are used by librarians, bookbuyers, readers, scholars, publishers, collectors, researchers, and fans. <em>Locus </em>is published out of Oakland, California;聽Liza Groen Trombi is editor-in-chief.</p> <p><strong>About the Locus Collection</strong></p> <p>The Locus Collection (the Charles N. Brown Memorial Collection) includes an impressive array of genre holdings, over 30,000 volumes comprising roughly 20,000 book titles and 10,000 periodical titles, including many rare and first editions and extensive runs of pulp magazines. The collection also includes historic ephemera, fanzines, photographs, correspondence, manuscripts, and artwork. The collection is now housed at Duke University.</p> <p>Brown’s photo and ephemera collection is a historically significant archive of photographs from his over five decades of involvement in the science fiction and fantasy fields. The photo archive, amounting to roughly 35 linear feet materials, is currently housed in office-style file cabinets and contains records of approximately 4,000 individuals, including photos of virtually every author of note in the science fiction and fantasy field for the last 60 years; significant materials on notable authors such as Isaac Asimov, Octavia E. Butler, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert, Ursula K. Le Guin, Anne McCaffrey; and photos and letters from editors, publishers, book agents, and convention organizers. The ephemera and letters are currently housed at Duke.</p> <p>The LSFF intends to continue to support the publication of <em>Locus</em> into the forseeable future. Beyond that, the Foundation鈥檚 goals are to establish a stable and sustainable annual budget to fully index and digitize the entire run of the magazine, to fund ongoing indexing and database projects currently conducted by the magazine, to preserve our literary heritage through continued acquisition of literary rights, and to provide community education through a series of local writing master classes.</p> </div> </div> <div id="comments"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> <ul class="xoxo"> <li id="search-4" class="widget-container widget_search"><form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" class="searchform" action="https://lsff.net/"> <div> <label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label> <input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" /> <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" /> </div> </form></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div id="colophon"> <span class="generator-link"><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="A Semantic Personal Publishing Platform" rel="generator">Proudly powered by WordPress.</a></span> Theme: Coraline by <a href="https://wordpress.com/themes/" rel="designer">WordPress.com</a>. </div> </div> </div> <link rel='stylesheet' id='simple-share-buttons-adder-ssba-css' href='https://lsff.net/wp-content/plugins/simple-share-buttons-adder/css/ssba.css?ver=1736391095' type='text/css' media='all' /> <style id='simple-share-buttons-adder-ssba-inline-css' type='text/css'> .ssba { } .ssba img { width: 20px !important; padding: 3px; border: 0; box-shadow: none !important; display: inline !important; vertical-align: middle; box-sizing: unset; } .ssba-classic-2 .ssbp-text { display: none!important; } .ssba .fb-save { padding: 3px; line-height: 15px; } .ssba, .ssba a { text-decoration:none; background: none; font-family: Indie Flower; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; } #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list { max-width: 48px !important;; } #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a {height: 48px !important; width: 48px !important; } #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a:hover { } #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a svg, #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a svg path, .ssbp-bar-list li a.ssbp-surfingbird span:not(.color-icon) svg polygon {line-height: 48px !important;; font-size: 18px;} #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a:hover svg, #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a:hover svg path, .ssbp-bar-list li a.ssbp-surfingbird span:not(.color-icon) svg polygon {} #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li { margin: 0px 0!important; }@media only screen and ( max-width: 750px ) { #ssba-bar-2 { display: block; } } </style> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://lsff.net/wp-content/plugins/simple-share-buttons-adder/js/ssba.js?ver=1736391095' id='simple-share-buttons-adder-ssba-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' id='simple-share-buttons-adder-ssba-js-after'> Main.boot( [] ); </script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://lsff.net/wp-content/plugins/easy-twitter-feed-widget/js/twitter-widgets.js?ver=1.0' id='do-etfw-twitter-widgets-js'></script> </body> </html>
