Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1952, Harold Terrence Salive (1939-2012) read one of Groff Conklin’s <em>Science Fiction</em> (SF) anthologies and he was hooked. Two years later, aged 15, he started ‘hoarding’ copies of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, which first appeared in January 1930. A stint in the army (1957) and study at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where in 1972 he graduated with a PhD in experimental psychology, solidified his passion for collecting. Salive’s collecting got serious in 1967. He began attending SF Fairs; he corresponded with various SF book dealers; received numerous catalogues from which he could buy books and magazines; and he joined fan groups such as the National Fantasy Fan Federation (N3F), and Science Fiction Newsletter. In 1972 Salive moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where he worked as a lecturer (non-medical) in Psychiatry at Auckland Medical School. He was also a consultant for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and started developing graphic programmes for Commodore 64 personal computers under his own company, Kiwisoft Programs Ltd. In 1977 he had married his second wife, Rachel. Salive continued to attend SF Fairs, and extended collecting interests to include gaming, writing SF stories, and teaching courses on the history of SF. In 2005, he moved to Waikanae, built purpose-made bookshelves to house his collection of 2500 items, and started to catalogue them. The Salive Collection consists of both SF and Fantasy. Van Vogt was a favourite, as was Samuel Delany. He collected early issues of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, and the continuance <em>Analog Science Fiction and Fact.</em> Fantasy authors who feature include C.J Cherryh, Jack L. Chalker, Poul Anderson, and Piers Anthony. There is no Tolkien, and only one Ray Bradbury title. In March 2013 Rachel Salive donated the Hal Salive Science Fiction and Fantasy Collection to Special Collections, University of Otago. It is a lasting legacy to a fine collector.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1952, Salive came across one of Groff Conklin’s famous SF anthologies. <em>Invaders of Earth</em> was published in 1952 and edited by Conklin. It may have been a similar copy that Salive devoured. It contains short stories by writers such as Theodore Sturgeon, A.E. Van Vogt, Frederic Brown, and Murray Leinster, and titles such as ‘An Eel by the Tail’, ‘Not Only Dead Men’, ‘Invasion from Mars’, and ‘The Waveries’. After reading the contents, Salive was hooked. How could you not be?

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Salive was relentless in his efforts to acquire any pre-1949 issues of<em> Astounding Stories of Super-Science</em>, first published in January 1930 under the editorship of Harry Bates. This periodical remains the most influential, and longest running continuously published magazine in the history of SF fact and fiction. This issue of March 1930 is Salive’s earliest copy. It contains the classic Wesso cover and ‘Brigands of the Moon’ by Ray Cummings (1887-1957). Cummings, at one stage assistant to Thomas Edison, was one of the founding fathers of SF pulp genre and produced some 750 novels and short stories in his career.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1952, Harold Terrence Salive (1939-2012) read one of Groff Conklin’s <em>Science Fiction</em> (SF) anthologies and he was hooked. Two years later, aged 15, he started ‘hoarding’ copies of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, which first appeared in January 1930. A stint in the army (1957) and study at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where in 1972 he graduated with a PhD in experimental psychology, solidified his passion for collecting. Salive’s collecting got serious in 1967. He began attending SF Fairs; he corresponded with various SF book dealers; received numerous catalogues from which he could buy books and magazines; and he joined fan groups such as the National Fantasy Fan Federation (N3F), and Science Fiction Newsletter. In 1972 Salive moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where he worked as a lecturer (non-medical) in Psychiatry at Auckland Medical School. He was also a consultant for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and started developing graphic programmes for Commodore 64 personal computers under his own company, Kiwisoft Programs Ltd. In 1977 he had married his second wife, Rachel. Salive continued to attend SF Fairs, and extended collecting interests to include gaming, writing SF stories, and teaching courses on the history of SF. In 2005, he moved to Waikanae, built purpose-made bookshelves to house his collection of 2500 items, and started to catalogue them. The Salive Collection consists of both SF and Fantasy. Van Vogt was a favourite, as was Samuel Delany. He collected early issues of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, and the continuance <em>Analog Science Fiction and Fact.</em> Fantasy authors who feature include C.J Cherryh, Jack L. Chalker, Poul Anderson, and Piers Anthony. There is no Tolkien, and only one Ray Bradbury title. In March 2013 Rachel Salive donated the Hal Salive Science Fiction and Fantasy Collection to Special Collections, University of Otago. It is a lasting legacy to a fine collector.

On June 9 1967, Hal Salive ordered this copy of ‘Doc’ Smith’s <em>The Vortex Blaster </em>from Fantasy and Science Fiction Publications in New York and asked if they had any pre-1949 <em>Astounding Stories</em> for sale. Interestingly, he also asked for issues of <em>Planet Stories</em>, which was published between 1939 and 1955 and featured (in the main) interplanetary adventures. There are no copies of this magazine in the Salive Collection.

A summary of the resource.
Salive’s collecting got serious in 1967. Over a period of two to three months, he wrote letters to various SF bookshops asking for catalogues and book lists. Science-Fiction and Fantasy Publications in Denver, New York, was one recipient. In those halcyon days, he enclosed 10 cents postage for their list.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1952, Harold Terrence Salive (1939-2012) read one of Groff Conklin’s <em>Science Fiction</em> (SF) anthologies and he was hooked. Two years later, aged 15, he started ‘hoarding’ copies of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, which first appeared in January 1930. A stint in the army (1957) and study at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where in 1972 he graduated with a PhD in experimental psychology, solidified his passion for collecting. Salive’s collecting got serious in 1967. He began attending SF Fairs; he corresponded with various SF book dealers; received numerous catalogues from which he could buy books and magazines; and he joined fan groups such as the National Fantasy Fan Federation (N3F), and Science Fiction Newsletter. In 1972 Salive moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where he worked as a lecturer (non-medical) in Psychiatry at Auckland Medical School. He was also a consultant for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and started developing graphic programmes for Commodore 64 personal computers under his own company, Kiwisoft Programs Ltd. In 1977 he had married his second wife, Rachel. Salive continued to attend SF Fairs, and extended collecting interests to include gaming, writing SF stories, and teaching courses on the history of SF. In 2005, he moved to Waikanae, built purpose-made bookshelves to house his collection of 2500 items, and started to catalogue them. The Salive Collection consists of both SF and Fantasy. Van Vogt was a favourite, as was Samuel Delany. He collected early issues of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, and the continuance <em>Analog Science Fiction and Fact.</em> Fantasy authors who feature include C.J Cherryh, Jack L. Chalker, Poul Anderson, and Piers Anthony. There is no Tolkien, and only one Ray Bradbury title. In March 2013 Rachel Salive donated the Hal Salive Science Fiction and Fantasy Collection to Special Collections, University of Otago. It is a lasting legacy to a fine collector.

Hartford City, Indiana: Robert (‘Buck’) and Juanita Coulson
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This line drawing cover with its rather bad joke fronts this issue of <em>Yandro</em>, an influential SF fan magazine that was published ‘more or less monthly’ by Robert (‘Buck’) and Juanita Coulson, from Hartford City, Indiana. <em>Yandro</em> ran from 1953 to 1986 and was renowned for letters of comment and its book reviews: ‘Maker/A for Anything is repulsive, while Hell’s Pavement is patchwork…’. Salive subscribed to it and this copy – No. 153, c.1964 – is the earliest magazine in his collection. The title of <em>Yandro</em> came from the works of Manly Wade Wellman, who took it from the traditional folk song, ‘He’s Gone Away’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Salive regarded his reading of SF as one of the most important activities of his life. According to family reports, when courting his second wife, and visiting her parents, he would stress the importance of SF by pointedly sitting ‘reading’ right in front of them so they knew from the outset who they were getting as a son-in-law. One person he contacted in this early period was Howard De Vore (1925-2005), a Michigan-based SF collector, dealer, and expert of pulp magazines. The letter asking for a pricelist and giving preference to pre-1949<em> Astounding</em> led DeVore to invite Salive to visit – ‘half an hour from Ann Arbor’ – and of course, buy. At the 1967 prices Salive must have had a field day!

Salive wrote that ‘Heinlein is interesting but seems to like to construct monomaniacal societies which have little relation to the range of abilities and ambitions I see in people.’ He added that Heinlein’s <em>Stranger in a Strange Land</em> was an exception to this. While no copy of the latter is in Salive’s collection, he did own 32 other Heinlein titles.

A summary of the resource.
This acrylic colour sketch by <strong>Jack Gaughan</strong> of Michael Kurland’s ‘Earth Errant’ is the only original illustration in Salive’s collection. On the back is a lot number and presumably Salive purchased it at auction sometime in the US. Kurland has written well over 40 titles, in both SF and detective fiction genres. This Gaughan image was done for the book, which was accepted then rejected by the publisher. Kurland’s story was eventually published by DAW as <em>Tomorrow Knight</em> (1976). Although the cover art for the DAW publication was done by Douglas Beekman, the interior art remained by Gaughan.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1952, Harold Terrence Salive (1939-2012) read one of Groff Conklin’s <em>Science Fiction</em> (SF) anthologies and he was hooked. Two years later, aged 15, he started ‘hoarding’ copies of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, which first appeared in January 1930. A stint in the army (1957) and study at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where in 1972 he graduated with a PhD in experimental psychology, solidified his passion for collecting. Salive’s collecting got serious in 1967. He began attending SF Fairs; he corresponded with various SF book dealers; received numerous catalogues from which he could buy books and magazines; and he joined fan groups such as the National Fantasy Fan Federation (N3F), and Science Fiction Newsletter. In 1972 Salive moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where he worked as a lecturer (non-medical) in Psychiatry at Auckland Medical School. He was also a consultant for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and started developing graphic programmes for Commodore 64 personal computers under his own company, Kiwisoft Programs Ltd. In 1977 he had married his second wife, Rachel. Salive continued to attend SF Fairs, and extended collecting interests to include gaming, writing SF stories, and teaching courses on the history of SF. In 2005, he moved to Waikanae, built purpose-made bookshelves to house his collection of 2500 items, and started to catalogue them. The Salive Collection consists of both SF and Fantasy. Van Vogt was a favourite, as was Samuel Delany. He collected early issues of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, and the continuance <em>Analog Science Fiction and Fact.</em> Fantasy authors who feature include C.J Cherryh, Jack L. Chalker, Poul Anderson, and Piers Anthony. There is no Tolkien, and only one Ray Bradbury title. In March 2013 Rachel Salive donated the Hal Salive Science Fiction and Fantasy Collection to Special Collections, University of Otago. It is a lasting legacy to a fine collector.
