Zines in the Collection
The leisure reading room on Level B of Homer Babbidge Library is home to the Liberated Zine Zone, a startup collection of zines created by UConn students and zine creators from around the globe. In conjunction with the library's Maker Studio, we are encouraging patrons to make zines using the zine kits to contribute to this growing collection. If you would like to submit a zine to the Liberated Zine Zone, either drop a copy off in the donate box or send a pdf scan to Rhonda Kauffman.
The UConn Archives & Special Collections, located at the Dodd Center for Human Rights, has a wide range of zines available for reading and research. This collection relates to the underground publishing culture of the Alternative Press and contains titles on various topics, political identities, and subcultures predominantly from the late 20th century to the present, as demonstrated in the video below.
- View titles at UConn Archives & Special Collections. View a list of some of the zines and related publications from the archives in the library catalog that you can read in the Reading Room of the Dodd Center for Human Rights.
- View a larger selection of zines found in personal libraries that have been donated to the archives and are also available for viewing in the Reading Room.
