Does anyone know who is in charge of Roger Zelazny's Estate, and/or how I would go about contacting them? Please reply in comments or in email to akgmurphy (at) gmail.com
Yes, we try to. The current version of our release form is right here. But of course we also accept donated recordings from people who are not SFOHA members. Also, SFOHA is over 30 years old and many of our recordings pre-date the practice of getting signed releases.
There may have been signed releases from earlier that were lost when the organization shifted presidents a few times quickly what with Nancy Tucker Shaw's death, a disagreement between Dick Smith and Lloyd Biggle Jr. as to who was taking leadership next (so far as I understand it, Dick was given leadership, the backup archives, and maybe some records, I don't know (they went with him to Chicago and this was before my time), and then Lloyd decided there was not enough being done and declared he was revitalizing the group, which understandably caused a split between him and Dick, andeventually I was recruited into the group and only inherited whatever Lloyd had.

Well, any recordings made before 1979 are likely good to go unless it's a recording of someone reading their written work. (Before that date, they would have had to register the recording for it to be copyrighted.) So you don't need to worry about the older stuff even if you can't find paperwork associated with it.
Beyond that, it's an interesting question. Do any of the cons have language about panelists understanding that panels may be recorded?
