The ZAPP Zine Collection includes over 30,000 zines and other self-published or small press titles on a wide range of topics, including music, politics, art, food and literature. Many zines feature voices and perspectives outside of the literary mainstream, including BIPOC authors, queer and trans authors, and youth and young adults.

The ZAPP Zine Collection is available for in-Library use only. The collection is open to the public by appointment during the Central Library's open hours. Please provide at least two weeks' notice for your preferred appointment time.

About the Collection

The Zine Archive & Publishing Project (ZAPP) was a volunteer-driven project dedicated to preserving and promoting self-publishing in Seattle and beyond. The project collected and archived over 30,000 self-published materials, which were donated to the Library by Richard Hugo House in 2017.
