The science fiction archives in The University of Liverpool's Special Collections and Archives include the papers and manuscripts of some of the most important writers in the genre. The Science Fiction Foundation Collection forms the bulk of the archival holdings at Liverpool to which The University of Liverpool itself has added the archives of John Wyndham, Olaf Stapledon and Eric Frank Russell.
For each archive, you will find biographical information, an overview of the collection, images of selected items from the archive and links to related material. Furthermore, you may browse or search detailed finding aids to each of our most extensive archives online. Cross-searching of all archives is also possible via the Search Tools section of the Home page.
