Title: DC Punk Archive Zine Library
Date Created: 1973-01-01
Abstract: This collection contains some nudity, strong language, and descriptions of violence in the context of artistic expression.

The DC Punk Archive Zine Library is a virtual collection of zines gathered from the archival collections of individual DC Punk Archive donors. Many of the zines are about (and often by members of) the DC music scene and included interviews, concert reviews, record reviews, and photos of DC punk artists. However, many also include other cultural content, including national and international music coverage, arts and literature, personal essays and narratives, cartoons, political commentary, satire, and more. The zines date from the mid-1970s to the present, though the majority are from the 1980s. The zines are arranged in alphabetical order.

The zines published here are only a selection of the Archive’s entire zine library. Note that certain digitized zines are hidden from public view due to privacy concerns, but become visible when browsing the collection from any DC Public Library location on both library and personal devices. All of the DC Punk Archive, including zines not yet digitized can be viewed by appointment.

Controlled vocabularies for local DC music venues, performers, and other related organizations have been created for this collection.
