Background

Scope and content:

A collection of zines by West Virginia authors and artists containing poetry, artwork, and activist literature. Creators include Emily Prentice, Alexandra Miller, Liz Pavlovic, Filler Distro, and Jen Iskow, among others. Also includes issues of The Travelin Appalachian Revue and Sunday Paper, as well as an article about the Morgantown Zine Fest in October 2017 and a t-shirt. Most of the zines are artistic in nature without a specific theme, but others relate to populist, communist, and feminist political movements on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.

Addendum of 2018 March 01 includes various zines and publications relating to Appalachian monsters, queer voices and people in Appalachia, relationships, and fake meat, among other things.
