My first task was to confirm the chronological order while conducting an inventory of this section of the collection. <em>Galaxy<\/em> was founded by H. L. Gold in October of 1950. Between 1950 and 1995, <em>Galaxy<\/em> was published in 262 issues, although there were various times when the publication was on different schedules. Based on the inventory I conducted we have approximately 48% of the issues printed. Some issues we have in two or three copies.<\/p>\n<p>A range of now-famous writers published in its pages, including Theodore Sturgeon, Jack Vance, Larry Niven, Frank Herbert, Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Issac Asimov. <em>Galaxy<\/em> seemed to regularly reinvent itself and its direction with each new editor.<\/p>\n<p>In 1953 it shared a Hugo award for Best Magazine with <em>Astounding<\/em>. As with the many of science fiction publications, <em>Galaxy<\/em> has transitioned into the digital age as<em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.galaxysciencefiction.com\/\">Galaxysciencefiction.com<\/a><\/em> and its companion, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.galaxyezine.org\/\"><em>Galaxy e-zine.org<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to getting to know this title better as this project persist.
