[SFFLibraries-L] Pulp Magazines: Question re: Best Practices

[Patrick J. Gyger]

Hello everyone,

I'm very interested in the answer to this question, as Maison 
d'Ailleurs has just acquired a huge pulp collection...

As this is my first post on the list, just a small introduction about 
myself and the museum I run.
My name is Patrick Gyger and I am an historian and historian of art. 
I am the director of the 'Maison d'Ailleurs' in Yverdon-les-Bains, 
which is one of the only museums of  science fiction in the world. As 
well as holding a substantial collection, the museum also programmes 
exhibitions of hisorical and contemporary work.

You can see more about Maison d'Ailleurs at our website:

All the best,

Patrick
