ATTENTION FEMINIST ZINE MAKERS

"The Barnard College Library in New York City is home to a growing zine collection that focuses on feminist culture and politics. This is an invitation to former and current zine creators and collectors to archive and make accessible through the Barnard Library any zines (defunct or still in publication) that are appropriate for the collection. The collection encompasses a wide variety of zine genres that address a number of feminist and women's issues and experiences, including activism, anarchism, body image, ethnic identity, menstruation, parenting, sexual assault, sexual orientation, urbanism, and war. The collection's website outlines the institution's zine collection mission statement and collection policy. It can be viewed at http://www.barnard.edu/library/zines/. The website also includes a link to access the library catalog (CLIO), where you can view a list of zines the library currently holds.

If you would like for your zine to be included in the Barnard Library Zine Collection, or if you have a collection of zines that you would like to donate to the library, please contact me at zines@barnard.edu. At the moment, we are especially interested in acquiring zines that
document the Riot Grrrl scene, though we are eager to accept zines of any time period or subject as long as they are in accordance with our collection policy guidelines.

Thanks for your time and please let me know if you have anything you would like to share, or if you have any questions or concerns, by responding to to zines@barnard.edu.

Thanks,
Jillian Cuellar"
