In the beginning, we asked ourselves: “Where is the queer community in Hong Kong?”

"Somos un archivo/repositorio privado de interés público que se dedica a la preservación y promoción de las publicaciones autodenominadas fanzines realizadas en el Estado de Aguascalientes desde 1989 hasta la actualidad.

"Nuestra misión es recopilar, preservar, catalogar y digitalizar las colecciones de fanzines de Aguascalientes, así como promover su estudio y difusión."

El objetivo ha sido generar espacios de reflexión, diálogo e intercambio, que exploren y reivindiquen la cultura del fanzine y la autopublicación y las maneras en que estas publicaciones experimentales, ágiles y explosivas interpelan a las prácticas de archivo. En colaboración con coleccionistas y productores, se ha conformado un archivo físico y digital, que al mismo tiempo que recopila y abriga parte de dichas prácticas autogestivas, busca reconocer a las comunidades que se vinculan a partir de ellas.

The Library of Congress has a growing collection of zines. The Zine Web Archive was created to supplement the physical zine collection. In general, zines are: self-published, self-created, self-distributed, and non-commercial. The independent nature of these publications allows for an unprecedented freedom of expression, and as such, these materials are incredibly valuable primary source materials. Collection priorities include zines by people of color, women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ and transgender and gender non-conforming individuals and organizations. Subjects and perspectives which have been traditionally underrepresented in mainstream media (and therefore libraries) are also a high priority for collection. For questions related to the Library of Congress Zine Collection, e-mail zines@loc.gov.
