Mr. Jansen was a local chemist, astronomer, and historian with an interest in classic science fiction. In 1990, he bequeathed his collection to the University. The principal portion of the collection is the rich assortment of over 1,000 titles of paperback and hardbound science fiction books from the 1950s and 1960s. At present, the collection is indexed but not in the catalog. Please see the Special Collections Librarian for assistance.
