Special Projects: THE BEST OF ANZAPA series of fanzines is an attempt 
                  to present the best work from the Australian and New 
                  Zealand Amateur Publishing Association on a year by year 
                  basis, as well as providing details of mailing contents,
                  membership lists, members' activity and major events in
                  the administration of the apa.  Present plans call for 
                  25 issues to be published covering the period 1968 to 
                  1993.  So far volumes have been published for the years 
                  1977/78 to 1982/83, numbered as volumes 10 to 15.

                  As a result of being the current DUFF administrator and
                  just being interested in the history of the fund, I am
                  attempting to build up a full set of documentation
                  relating to the fund, including trip reports, ballots,
                  platforms, results, and DUFFzines as well as photos of 
                  all candidates and winners contemporaneous with their
                  candidacy.
                  
Online:           From 1994.
