Although the fictional stories would interest me, my intent with SFWA is to collect the historical information about our field and the organization from these elder statesmen. First hand reports on how the field has changed (for better or worse). First hand reports on how SFWA has (or hasn't) evolved over the years. While their fiction may continue to be recorded in old pulps and reprint anthologies, their life experiences are vanishing. That's a legacy we could use these days.
