Hey Ruth, I agree zines and artist books are going to be really important artifacts in the future, so important to collect them digitally. There was this arts and culture zine around when I was finishing high school and it was unique at the time and really well written and presented, I wonder if it’s been collected anywhere?(much nostalgia, sigh) Got me thinking though my main gripe is how they’re accessed. I had a look at the state library artist books a couple of weeks ago and they have some great stuff but it’s just not presented very well, I’d like to be able to browse and find thing sort of by chance sometimes, just like you would a physical zine. This post is spot on BTW, nice one!
