The collection (1974-2014), contains materials including convention programs, agendas, badges, pins, newspaper clippings, and correspondence related to the convention as well as other nearby science fiction conventions including IguanaCon, LepreCon, and L.A. Con.
TusCon is an annual regional science fiction and fantasy convention held in Tucson, Arizona. Beginning in 1974, TusCon has had a convention every year except during the years of 1977 - 1978 (referred to as TusCon 5), as both cofounders, Carol De Priest and Jim Corrick, took that time to work on IguanaCon/WorldCon in Phoenix, Arizona, The convention considers itself to be fan-oriented and has been able to bring in big names in the science fiction and fantasy community, such as Jim Butcher, Diana Gabaldon, and George R. R. Martin.
