The Zine collection

The collection, also known as the Zine Archive, was established in September 2016 on the initiative of Mattias Gunnarsson, Senior Lecturer at the Unit for Design at HDK-Valand - Academy of Art and Design.

The collection contains zines and other printed matter of a DIY nature from different parts of the world from the 1980s onwards. Donations are accepted on an ongoing basis, if you want to contribute your own zine, you are welcome to contact us at the Art Library.
