About

Welcome to the Zine Union Catalog!


Zinecat.org is a union catalog dedicated to zines! A union catalog is a resourcle where libraries can share cataloging and holdings information. The Zine Union Catalog (ZUC) lets researchers discover zine holdings by searching a single catalog, and helps librarians copy catalog records to facilitate lending across libraries. ZUC serves educators, researchers, librarians, archivists, and anyone in the general public with an interest in zines.

ZUC is a product of the CUNY Graduate Center's two-semester Digital Praxis Seminar, which provides essential resources to support the project. Special thanks to Milo Miller from the Queer Zine Archive Project and many others who helped make the ZUC possible.
