PROJECT L-KON June 1994

 WARNING; ON GOING investigation, to conferm Attendees!

18 JUN 1994: PROJECT L-KON. (One Day Anime Convention)

If confirmed!? will be the the UK's first University held Anime Convention! - dating back to June 1994.

Having first found an old computer printout, showing electronic correspondance in 1994, then finding an online archive of a Fanzine ( ANIMEJIN 4), and now owning issues of the SF Newszine 'Critical Wave' that also printed details, I feel safe to publish it to its own page  Project l-con l-kcon l-kon 18th june 1994  what I have found, and in the hope that more will come to light, but after 30 years or more this may proove difficult.

See the Tab above; PROJECT L-CON, - L-KCon, - L-Kon, 18th. June

18 JUN 1994: PROJECT L-KON. Anime Con, Liverpool University, 9.30am - late.  Att. £5.00 in advance, £10.00 on the door.

[NOTES: This was the first Anime convention listing in 'CRITICAL WAVE' May 1994 issue 35. page 18.]

[NOTE: As of Monday 10th. July 2023 Liverpool's University's 'Special Collections and Archives department' have not found any details, and I haven't been able to find any evidence that the event took place?]

[NOTE: I must THANK Leah Holmes as she has been investigating on my behalf, as my Cancer is affecting my voice.]

[NOTES:  JULY 2023; "Thank you for your email to my colleague Tom.   We have now conducted a search of the online catalogue of the University Archive in order to identify material which may be relevant to the topic and date range of your enquiry, including the following material:   GLD/1 - Administrative Records   A161 - ’List of Society files’ compiled by Union Manager's Office   GLD/4/2 - Records of Individual Societies/Clubs   Unfortunately, a search of these records has failed to return any relevant results for the Science Fiction Society or the specific event in 1994. Similarly, keyword searches of the Online Catalogue for ‘Anime’, ‘Project L-Kon/L-Con’ and ‘LUSF3’ have not indicated any relevant material.   It is very unfortunate that we could not provide better news today, however please do not hesitate to let us know of any further queries, we are happy to help.   Best wishes,   Thomas".]
