Contribute to the LAAC “Archives 101” Zine

We're currently working on another volume of the LAAC "Archives 101" zine for the annual Archives Bazaar. This year's theme is DIGITAL ARCHIVES.

If you'd like to participate, please email us a half page (8.5" x 5.5") by October 12. The half page can consist of anything! (Check out our past zines for inspiration.) Contributors may decide to write an article, make a list, create an illustration- the sky's the limit! Submissions can focus on any aspect of archives, but the issue's theme is Digital Archives.

The Archives 101 zines are intended for a public audience. Submissions can be anonymous, or can include a name, handle, etc.

The zines will be printed and distributed at the Archives Bazaar on October 20th. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to hello@laacollective.org
