Join staff from the Barnard Zine Library and Archives for a behind-the-scenes tour of the zine and related ephemera collections! The tour will begin with a walk through of the circulating zine library space, flip through a selection of their favorite do-it-ourselves publications and talk zine culture in the open stacks. The tour will continue with a look at their special collections zines which share a climate-controlled basement with their close collaborators in the Archives department, and rifle through the doodled envelopes, copy scam tools, original zine flats and riot grrrl memorabilia of the Zinester Ephemera Collections in the Archives’ reading room. We will also have an opportunity to tour the current Surviving Barnard: Student Disorientation Guides at Barnard and Columbia reading room exhibit, alongside the zine library’s disorientation guide display, center networks of student solidarity and collective self-publishing power, and demonstrate the through lines between the zine library collections and the Barnard Archives.
