| + | #REDIRECT [[William Dawson]] |
| − | | |
| − | '''William C. Dawson''' was a [[UK]] [[fan]] from [[Glasgow]] in [[Scotland]] active in the 1940s and 1950s and maybe later. He was a member of the [[Science Fantasy Society]] (SFS) and at some point he became responsible for the [[prozine|magazine]] section of the [[British Fantasy Library]] (BFL).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ''[[Operation Fantast Handbook]]'' of 1953 gave him as responsible for certain magazines with [[Vera Douglas]] 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 his and Dawson's names, with him having taken on the books section as well.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A W. O. Dawson appears in the membership list of the SFS and it's assumed that this is the same person as Dawson's name is rendered as William O. Dawson in ''Vector'' #4. Elsewhere he's William C. Dawson.
