Archivist: Amy Leigh amy.leigh @duke.edu) Accepts donations of zines by women and girls. "The Sarah Dyer Zine Collection came to us in seven unassuming boxes bursting with thousands of self-published works by women and girls. The publications are opinionated and sometimes unapologetically personal. They range from photocopy-collage to slick-looking glossies, and they express the incredible breadth of women's interests and talents, as well as the depth of their desire to communicate." Sarah Dyer is the editor of the Action Girl Newsletter.

Salt Lake City Public Library (library)
The library is building a collection of zines in its periodicals department.
The Salt Lake City Public Library is just so neat. Julie Thomas Bartel recently sent this in an email to the zinesters list:
"The director of my library has asked me to put together a bibliography of materials related to the aftermath of September 11th. She specifically asked me to look for radical viewpoints and alternate formats like lyrics, zines, comics etc., along with books, essays, articles, so, I turn to the zinesters list for suggestions. I have a good long list already, but I'm certain that you all will come up with a million things I'm missing. If you've produced anything yourself I'd like to include it, but I'm also interested in stuff you read, heard, seen outside the zine community as well.
"I'm not looking for material *about* the events of September 11th, but about what has happened since--things like freedom of information, privacy, responsibility, media, the government chipping away at our rights, etc. etc. Even things like the current debate about the pledge of allegiance, censorship, the first amendment, and the like. Basically, the list is to inform, warn, engage--you get the idea. I can give more info if anyone's interested. Oh, and though this project might be expanded later for discussion groups etc., the current bibliography should be geared more towards high school age kids.
"I'd really really appreciate any help you can give--this is a cool opportunity to introduce hundreds of people to important info.
"Thanks."
