(???? –)
A . Vera Douglas was a UK fan from County Down in Northern Ireland active in the 1950s and maybe earlier and later. At some point she became responsible for the magazine section of the British Fantasy Library (BFL).
The Operation Fantast Handbook of 1953 gave her as responsible for certain magazines with William C. Dawson handling others and Jim Donaldson handling books for what Ken Slater described it as 'perhaps the oldest existing organisation of fans in Britain'.
It's unclear how long this continued. An advertisement for what was then called 'The British Fantasy and Science Fiction Library' appeared in Vector #4 in 1959, giving her and Dawson's names, the latter having taken on the books section as well.
