Biographical Note

Jay Kay Klein (1931-2012) began reading Science Fiction at a young age and joined the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society when we has 14. He was an avid photographer and, during his lifetime, amassed an extensive photograph collection of Science Fiction & Fantasy conventions and events. His massive repository of photographs was an invaluable resource to the community and was in constant demand by authors, publishers, and many publications within the field. He was a regular contributor to fanzines and maintained a regular magazine column writing short biographies for Analaog Science Fiction and Fact. Klein's other professional work included writing and editing in corporate settings such as General Electric and Carrier International.
Jay Kay Klein was a life long participant in Science Fiction fandom and a mainstay at conventions for decades. He was a member of First Fandom and the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA). Along with his friend Dave Kyle, Klein co-chaired the unsuccessful bid to host the 1966 Worldcon in Syracuse, NY.
Klein was recognized for his contributions to the field with the Big Heart award, the First Fandom Hall of Fame award, and a presidential award from SFWA. He lived most of his life in Syracuse, NY and passed away in May 2012 of cancer.

Series 1. Correspondence 1953-2010, undated

Series Scope and Contents

Jay Kay Klein had extensive correspondence with authors, publishers, and science fiction fans. He also corresponded a fair bit regarding photography and amateur radio. Topics covered in the correspondence include inquiries to use his photographs and providing payment and credit lines for that use, issues regarding copyright and the use of his photographs without permission, convention matters (invitations, attendance, planning, and general discussions of cons), fandom and fandom concerns, publishers and publishing, photography, and amateur radio.
Unidentified correspondence has been sorted into two categories, TO and FROM Klein, and placed at the end of this series. The correspondence in these folders is unable to be attributed to a specific correspondent, either missing a name entirely or only including a common first name. There are also letter fragments.

Series Arrangement

The correspondence is generally arranged alphabetically by last name. For correspondence with individuals operating on behalf of a corporate body, or other organization, the letters are filed under the name of that corporate body. As an example: one can find correspondence with Ben Bova in the Analog and SFWA correspondence files. Correspondence pertaining to convention programming is placed in the Convention Series with the appropriate convention, though there is plenty of discussion of conventions within this Correspondence Series as well.

Related Materials

See the Conventions Series for correspondence about conventions, such as planning and invitations.

Series 8. Fanzines 1945-2004, undated

Series Scope and Contents

Fanzines were a primary mode of sharing information and creating the science fiction community in the 20th century. These fanzines were collected by Klein and serve as one demonstration of his fandom and engagement with the community, he was also a frequent contributor to fanzines. Notes have been added to each title to list which issues are present.

Series Arrangement

The fanzines are arranged alphabetically by title and each title is then sorted chronologically.

Fan Resources

Two extremely valuable community created resources for 20th century science fiction fandom are Fancyclopedia 3  and Fanac . Both of these have extensive information about science fiction fanzines (creators/editors, numbers of issues, title changes, distribution dates, etc).

Other Fanzines

The Eaton Collection holds numerous fanzines. These are primarily in the Fanzine Collection (MS 342), the Terry Carr Collection (MS 359), and a handful of specific titles have been fully cataloged. All of these can be found in the UCR library catalog. There are also fanzines in the Poul and Karen Anderson papers (MS 040) and the Stu Shiffman papers (MS 404), which are noted in their respective finding aids.

Digital Access

The portion of the photographic negatives from the Jay Kay Klein collection that have been scanned are available to be viewed via Calisphere: Jay Kay Klein photographs .
Viewing the digitized photographs is the primary and preferred point of access.

Digitization

In 2017, a project was done in collaboration with the California Digital Library in which a selection of 5,933 images from the Jay Kay Klein photograph collection were digitized and made available on Calisphere. Feedback was solicited from the community to assist in identifying the images. A second project took place in 2020-2021 to incorporate this community feedback, make further identifications, add more descriptions, and enhance the metadata for these images. The updated metadata and descriptions were published in September 2021.

Series Scope and Contents

This series comprises all of the photographic materials that are part of Jay Kay Klein's collection. Formats include film negatives, 35mm slides, contact prints, photographic prints, and stereo slides. This portion of the collection is approximately half of the materials donated by Klein.
