{{main|1632 series}}
::Note: ''The two main articles covering this large rapidly growing [[book series]] and this specific [[sub-series]] are kept up to date before publication as new titles are added to this rapidly growing [[Social environment|milieu]] oriented body of works.''
The '''''Grantville Gazette VI''''' (''Main article:'' [[The Grantville Gazette]]s) is the sixth collaborative mixed-work set in the''' ''[[parallel universe (fiction)|'1632verse']]'' '''in what is best regarded as a [[Canon (fiction)|canonical]] [[sub-series]] of the popular [[Alternate history]] that began with the February [[2000]] publication of the hardcover novel [[1632 (novel)]] by author-historian [[Eric Flint]]. Overall it is the seventh [[anthology]] in the atypical series which consists of a mish-mash of main novels and anthologies produced under ''popular demand'' after publication of the initial novel which was written as a stand-alone work. This particular sub-series, the various ''Grantville Gazettes'' include encyclopedia grade '''fact articles''' by members of the [[1632 research committee]] which cover the technological issues faced in fitting 21st century knowledge and base technology to the [[17th Century]] setting of the Milieu. The internet forum [[Baen's Bar]] hosts the ''1632verse'' oriented sub-forums [[1632 Tech Manual]] and [[1632 Slush]] and both forums figure prominently in the background of these works as is covered in the ''[[The Grantville Gazette]]s'' main article. The series as a whole, and this sub-series in particular are an example of ''internet-age'' [[collaborative fiction|collaborative writing]] in the literary field.
The illustration on the cover is "The Workshop of the Alchemist" from the 16th century by [[Stradanus|Giovanni Stradano]] (or Johannes Stradanus).... originally Jan van der Straet.
== [[eBook]] Table of Contents==
Note: In the earliest two Grantville Gazettes, there were differences between the print published version and the original serialized [[eMagazine]], and then again the intermediate [[eBook]] as the 'kinks' were worked out of the experiment. Should additional published works differ, it will be noted in the pertinent article.

==List of Gazettes==
The Grantville Gazettes are all edited by [[Eric Flint]] who maintains editorial control over the canon for the series on the [[1632.org website]] in conjunction with the [[1632 editorial board]], and the various [[1632 research committee]]s, all being regular participants to the [[Baen's Bar]] forum [[1632 Tech Manual]]. Gazettes include fact articles (see the ''1632 research committee'') and stories which are initially vetted through a tough peer review on the forum [[1632 slush]], typically requiring several rewrites then are subsequently nominated by the ''editorial board'', whereupon Flint chooses the stories for inclusion in whichever volume best meets the needs of the main [[storyline]] 'threads' which frequently begin in the Gazettes but are carried forward in the novels.
