20 Hour Anniversary Livestream

The Tolkien Society award-winning website, TolkienGuide.com, was first started in 2006 by Urulókë and has been a place for collectors, researchers, and readers alike to come together, to learn more about Tolkien's books and those associated with him. Begun initially as a collectors space, the guide has grown over the years to cover much more for anyone with an interest in Tolkien. From our Tolkien Society nominated Guide to Tolkien's Letters to other guides covering calendars, books, a future guides including a new bibliography, archives, people and much more to come. The site also has an invaluable Books Store and Events Calendar.

In recognition of the website's twenty years, we will be hosting a continuous live^{minus some content recorded beforehand for us to grab some short breaks[1]} twenty hour stream between the 3rd and 4th of October this year.

We will have special guests from the world of Tolkien publishing, collecting, and those who work on projects both online and in the real world joining us. We will have some prizes, a summary of the last twenty years of Tolkien publishing, and more activities to be announced.

We would be delighted to welcome you all at some point during the event, or all of it for those brave among you. It will take place online. The start and finish time will be announced in due course. While it will be a long stint, there should be a time slot that works for everybody.

We would like to extend our thanks to the guests who are already planning to join us and as we get closer to October we will announce more details and news on those guests and others. We have some amazing names lined up already including editors, researchers, and collectors who will join us to talk about their rare and cherished items, editing Tolkien, and their projects. If any of you would like to talk about your own interests, we would love to hear from you.^{onthetrail is coordinating with guests but feel free to reach out to any of us if you would like to join us live.[2]}
