Hi Rachel, The Stuart Hall Library at Iniva focuses on contemporary international visual arts, politics and cultural diversity. It provides access to non-traditional art histories, and documents the work of emerging artists within the context of critical and cultural theories. We started collecting zines in 2010 to explore art, critical and cultural thought in a different context. We are interested in broadening the definition of cultural diversity to include subcultures, as well as identity, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexualities. The Library receives many donations, and to date holds approximately 300 zines, most of which are now catalogued. http://www.iniva.org/library/news/call_for_zines The Library is currently displaying Future Fantasteek! On Tour, a collection of zines and artists' books celebrating ten issues of Jackie Batey's satirical zine: http://www.iniva.org/exhibitions_projects/2011/future_fantasteek Regards Sonia From: This is the list of ARLIS/UK & Ireland: the Art Libraries Society.

I've just received an email from one of my academics about discussing this, and thought I'd see if anybody else has experience of collecting them. They sent this presentation to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqDvhlKZAJY about it. Thanks.
