RESEARCH GUIDE PAGE

Kelly McElroy, Honor Moody, Dianne Laguerta, Jennifer LaSuprema and Jude Vachon at ZLuC 2015 bar time.

Questions we’d like to address on page:

• What info can you get from zines? Why use zines in your research?
• Challenges in researching zines? e.g. metadata
• Resources for researching zines:

1. zinewiki – can we reach out 1x/yr to ask people to update zinewiki entries?
2. info
3. zinelibrarians yahoo group
4. Google zine libraries/archives map

• Particular areas, examples of richness, that zines do well with e.g. health, queer zines, trans zines, punk music… – we can link here to lists we made/are going to make of zines in particular categories
• ALTHOUGH zines are about absolutely anything/everything

 

We also thought it would be good to post a sample research guide on one subject e.g. bikes.

 

PS Can we have a Donate Zines page on zinelibraries.info?
