The Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame was founded in 1996 by the Kansas City Science Fiction and Fantasy Society and the Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas. Each year, the Hall of Fame honors four individuals on the basis of their continued excellence and long-term contribution to the science fiction and fantasy field. Two inductees are living contributors and two are posthumous. Until 2005, the inductees were selected by a committee including Robin Wayne Bailey, James Gunn (author), Joe Haldeman, and several other science fiction and fantasy scholars.

Inductees were announced at the ConQuesT science-fiction convention on Memorial Day weekend in Kansas City. The honorees were officially inducted into the Hall of Fame during the Awards Banquet at the University of Kansas during the Campbell Conference. The Conference is the focal point of a weekend of discussions about the writing, illustration, publishing, teaching, and criticism of science fiction.

2004 was the last year the Hall of Fame ceremonies took place during the Campbell Conference. Beginning in 2005, only the John W. Campbell Memorial Award and Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award are given during the Conference, with the Hall of Fame inductions taking place at the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle, which also houses the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. The Center for the Study of Science Fiction sponsors the Campbell Conference.
