A key part of the SF Hub is the indexing of individual articles (including essays, interviews, book reviews, editorials and letters) within the most important science fiction journals and fanzines in our collections. Many of these publications have never been indexed anywhere else, making large amounts of valuable critical material easily accessible for the first time.
The articles index is contained within the SF Catalogue. This enables seamless searching of books, periodicals and articles, although searches may be limited to articles only. To facilitate research, each article has been described in depth, including full bibliographic details and subject headings. Tips on searching are provided within the Search Tools area of the Home page.
All issues in our holdings of the titles listed opposite have been indexed. Amongst these, new issues of titles still in publication will continue to be indexed. Click on a title to view the full list of articles indexed from a particular journal or fanzine.
Please note that indexing is based on the collections of science fiction journals and fanzines in The University of Liverpool's Special Collections and Archives. Although this includes the extensive Science Fiction Foundation Collection, these holdings are not comprehensive for every title.
Furthermore, only the most useful material within the journals and fanzines has been selected for indexing. Any piece which does not have substantial critical content, including short or non-analytical book reviews, letters and editorials, has been omitted.
