Zine Library Resources

POC Zine Project's mission is to makes ALL zines by POC (People of Color) easy to find, distribute and share. We are an experiment in activism and community through materiality.

This is a collection of zines that can be found on the Archive. Zines are self-published, non-commercial publications with typically small circulations. They cover a wide range of topics with many focused on politics, art, creative writing, and personal theory.

"The Queer Zine Archive Project (QZAP) was first launched in November 2003 in an effort to preserve queer zines and make them available to other queers, researchers, historians, punks, and anyone else who has an interest DIY publishing and underground queer communities." This collection includes over 400 fully digitized zines from queer communities.

Outlines some of the differences between zines and blogs and makes the case for some of the important and unique qualities of zines when it comes to motivation, authorship, editing, and distribution.
