What are Zines?

ABOUT ZAP - PHILIPPINES

Zine Archive Project-Philippines is a DIY, Digital Library of self published zines by Filipin*(a/o) Zinesters. It aims to preserve zines via PDF files and/or print copies and make them available to anyone who's interested with zines -- archiving our zine his/herstory. Zines ranges from perzines to fanzines, art and literary zines, anarchist, queer and feminist zines, etc.

This is an incubator to promote the Filipin*(a/o) zine culture. A space to connect local zinesters and zine readers with each other which hopefully will lead to a community.

It is inspired by international projects such as The Queer Zine Archive Project, Zine Archive & Publishing Project Seattle, We Make Zines Community, The Barnard Zine Library and all of the spaces around the globe who works towards preserving and publishing zines.
