Queer Zine Archive Project


The Queer Zine Archive Project is a Milwaukee-based archive dedicated to preserving queer zines and queer zine culture. Part of the archive's mission is to make the collection accessible through digitizing these zines and making them publicly accessible in an online format. The archive has received zine donations from across the world.
QZAP was founded in November 2003 by Milo Miller and Chris Wilde, and currently maintains both a physical collection in Milwaukee and a free online archive of digitized zines.

Mission statement

Collections

QZAP began when its founders digitized their personal collection of roughly 350 queer-punk zines and put them in an online database. Through donations, the collection has grown to over 2,500 zines, nearly 600 of which have been digitized and are freely accessibly online. The physical collection is stored in filing cabinets in the founders' Milwaukee home.
