Short Stories: Chronological Survey

This is extracted from the monumental bibliography by Lindsay Crawford with HTMLization by Roberto Quaglia. See links for the whole thing.
Why include an extract? Mainly because the original is so big my browser had trouble coping with it! Plus I find really long pages confusing.
I've added stories (mainly from the last 10 years) not included in the original. Most of this information is from the Internet Speculative Fiction Database (again see links). Yet more information came from The Locus Index to Science Fiction.
I've also added a few stories from non SF magazines (e.g. Collier's) that don't seem to turn up in other lists.
This version is individual short stories only, listed by year of first publication.
This version does not include novels and collections, which are listed elsewhere.

1952-54 | 1955-59 | 1960-69 | 1970-79 | 1980-89 | 1990-2005
