File 770 is named after a legendary room party held in Room 770 at Nolacon, the 9th World Science Fiction Convention, in New Orleans in 1951. Glyer started File 770 in 1978 as a mimeographed print fanzine to report on fan clubs, conventions, fannish projects, fans, fanzines and SF awards. In the 1990s, Glyer moved production of the fanzine to computer desktop publishing, and on January 15, 2008, he began publishing File 770 as a blog on the internet.
A print version of File 770 was produced until 2016. eFanzines.com began hosting PDF versions of the paper issues in 2005.
