The 1950s Club[edit]

A club located in Atlanta in the early 1950s.

From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959
The Atlanta, GA SF Organization, whose wheels were various Dixie fans like Macauley, Burwell, and others. In full swing by July 1951, they accomplished a notable feat of fan publishing by getting out a hard-cover edition of Sam Moskowitz's The Immortal Storm.

The Clubzine[edit]

As well as the clubzine Science Fiction Digest, ASFO published an Official Organ of the same name, previously Cosmag, edited by Ian Macauley.

When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can!
