(Including Best Related Book and Best Related Work.)
This Hugo category was created in 1980 and has existed ever since, though it has twice undergone small changes in scope.
It began in 1980 as the "Best Non-Fiction Book", aimed at books about SF and fandom. In 1999, it was changed to "Best Related Book" and the wording was changed to make it clear that any non-fictional book about SF or fandom was eligible and to recognize that voters had awarded this Hugo to things like art books which were not clearly "non-fiction". Still later, in 2010 it was changed to "Best Related Work" to make it clear that the content did not have to appear in a printed and bound volume to be eligible. It is still awarded for a single work (not a series) which is not fiction and which is related to SF or fandom.
