    Abstract
    The Science Fiction Collection at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) is a major component of the instruction, research, and outreach events involving the archives, the library, campus, and local communities. Collaborative efforts between archivists and librarians have stimulated growth of the physical and digital archival and circulating science fiction collections and have helped bridge the divide between a largely science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)focused campus and the humanities. Sherri Brown, former subject librarian forthe School of Literature, Media and Communication (LMC), and Jody Thompson,head of archives, are two of the key players in the growth, outreach, instruction,and use of the collection. This case study highlights how this collection has been collaboratively cultivated and how it works as an essential resource in meeting the teaching, research, and learning goals of the library and the archives.
