Really enjoyed this insight into the zine collection at the Asia Art Archive (AAA) in Hong Kong. In the article “Hong Kong zine librarian Sam Chao on the importance of keeping an accessible archive,” Kelly Ho of the Hong Kong Free Press describes the collection, of which 70% is created by artists based in Hong Kong. The collection includes what is likely the city’s first official zine catalogue. The Zine Librarians Code of Ethics also gets a shoutout.

Be sure to check out all four parts of the Hong Kong Free Press series on Hong Kong’s zine scene.
