SUBJECT INDEX TO THE SFOHA CATALOG 

This subject index is necessarily incomplete.  In most cases I did not hear the tape and had to rely on the descriptions in the catalog, many of which are very cryptic.  In some cases I made inferences about what the subject probably was.  You should read the catalog description carefully before deciding whether or not to listen to the tape.  There is no entry for "science fiction" because most of the tapes are about science fiction, but there are entries for subsets and related genres such as space opera, hard science fiction, and fantasy.  Personal names here are for tapes on which the individuals do not appear.  People talking about themselves and their work can be found in the Name Index.
