Want your zines in the collection?

We have a limited budget for purchasing zines and also accept zine donations. We ask that anyone wishing to add their zines to the collection familiarise themselves with our collections policy first.

If you would like to recommend a zine for us to purchase, we have a zine recommendation form you can fill in. You can recommend your own zine to us or work from another zine maker/distributor. 

How do I donate a zine?

You can send us your zine via post or drop it in the post box at the Library. Our address is 32-34 Albert Road, Glasgow, G42 8DN.

We ask that you please complete an accessions form if you’re donating a zine to us or if you have donated a zine to us in the past without completing a form. The accessions form gives us valuable information about how you would like your donated work to be catalogued and accessed in our collection, as well as letting us know any information you don’t want to be added to our online catalogue. You can also return this form to us via email to hello@glasgowzinelibrary.com.

We are conscious of our responsibility as a library and in the processing of the personal data within zines. We will avoid adding data to the online catalogue if we feel it could have an impact on the zine-maker, or if it is clear the zine was created with the intent of anonymity or being circulated only in a smaller, off-line context.

If you want any information we have about your zine changed - for example, if your name has changed since your zine was added to the collection - please reach out to us at hello@glasgowzinelibrary.com and we’ll be happy to help.
