These include a few items of interest to the East Kingdom, such as this old newsletter
Very cool -- the original pre-Pikestaff East Kingdom Newsletter. There aren't many of those around.
For example this letter from Randall Garrett to Harlan Ellison, challenging him to honorable combat at the 1968 Worldcon.
Wowwwww. That's not just an artifact, that's practically a holy relic. I heard about that particular bout in my earliest days in the Society. The 1968 Worldcon was, I gather, one of the most important events in Society history -- it was when fandom en masse really discovered the SCA, and it began to spread rapidly. And that bout was allegedly one of the things that got their attention.
Okay, it's not quite like finding Excalibur sitting in your living room. But it's one of the chairs from the Round Table. Who the heck was that trucker?
