Was the movie First Contact the first time it was revealed that first contact was with the Vulcans?

As did the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology by Stan and Fred Goldstein, published by Wallaby/Pocket Books in 1980 as a TMP tie-in. It gave 2048 as first contact for AC, 2065 for Vulcan (on the old timeline of TOS being c. 2210).

I need to read this one day. I love different, well realised timelines for Trek and sci-fi.

It's kind of fun, full of Rick Sternbach art and they tried hard to work in the known OS historical points.

I got it for a dollar on clearance at K-mart, a year or two after it came out. It kind of ruined Trek prequelling for me!

I just got my copy off of EBay about a year ago. A masterpiece compared to the canon universe.

I take that back. I got it in September 2018 from Amazon. Paid $12 for a copy in pretty good shape.

Can’t believe it has been two years.
