Hello Leila,
Thank you for the warm welcome. I am pleased to report that the patient/staff produced DIY publications are now available to browse via the Wellcome Library website along with a range of other material: http://wellcomelibrary.org/player/b21892167#?asi=0&ai=0&z=0.1182%2C0.5967%2C0.7178%2C0.4509. These documents do lean more towards the pamphlet side of the spectrum but I would like to 'claim' them as zines. Some psychiatric hospitals have had 'underground' publications but a great deal of these appear to have been lost to time which is not entirely surprising.
I hope that you, and the rest of the group, don't mind my lurking about the message board especially as my current role does take me away from zines. The topics raised so far have been extremely interesting and I'm looking forward to reading more in the future.
Best wishes,
Laura
