In 2009, I was gifted with several boxes of Star Trek memorabilia from Gayle Stever. Gayle founded Siddig’s fan club, The Doctor’s Exchange, which later expanded to include other DS9 actors and was renamed Far Beyond the Stars. Gayle is one of the OG psychologists studying celebrity, fandom, and parasocial relationships. In the 1990s, she focused much of her research on Trekkies, specifically fans of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and spent a lot of time with the cast and creative team on the Paramount lot. In the course of her research and running the fan club, she accumulated a collection of unique items. A decade later, a cross-country move inspired Gayle to downsize. She sent me boxes of memorabilia, much of which I only glanced at before putting it in storage. 

Fast forward to the summer of 2025, and I’m finally cataloging what was in those boxes. Imagine my surprise to discover a trove of what are now archival documents detailing the production of DS9, especially during the final season. These documents were given to Gayle by production staff and cast members. While these documents were commonplace on set, few survived, and even fewer are available to collectors. 

I’ve bundled the documents by episode and, when available, included additional relevant items such as scripts, promo stills, trading cards, and even a hand-drawn map. When you click the buttons, you’ll be taken to a Google Drive folder with detailed information and photos for each bundle.
