Click here to join the International Wizard of Oz Club
Join the Oz Club and become part of a member-based all-volunteer organization that’s been meeting the needs of Oz fans for more than 60 years.
Our journal, The Baum Bugle, includes popular and scholarly articles, interviews, and news about Oz and its creators, with biographical, historical, and critical studies. Collectors’ checklists, too, because so many members collect. There are features on Oz in the movies and on stage, reviews of new editions of books about Oz or its authors, and current Oz hapenings. The magazine is illustrated with rare photographs and drawings, and its covers are full color.
Our events are held in locations of special interest to Oz fans, such as historic sites where tours can be part of the program. With the growth of virtual events, we also host get-togethers via computer where you can meet other members onscreen, participate, and enjoy Club programming from home.
Through this website our members can create personal profiles, participate in forums and special interest groups, buy, sell and trade Oz material, see content made exclusively for Club members or that is shared here with members well before it’s available to the public.
Do you write fiction or illustrate Oz stories? We’d love to see your work! Enter our annual contests; all entries are considered for inclusion in Oziana, our annual compilation of original Oz short stories.
Members also receive 20% off listed pricing at shop.OzClub.org, with the exception of Bibliographia Baumiana which has its own special pricing for members.
The Club promotes annual conventions each year. These gatherings typically feature lectures, talks, papers, films, and performances; displays of rare Oz and Baum materials; Oz quizzes; and auctions of hard-to-find Oz and Baum items. Mailings will keep you advised of the locations, dates, and costs of events.
Explore our website for more information about the Club and Oz. You can also find us on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, where posts of interest to Oz enthusiasts appear frequently.
